I get a lot of e-mails from the university. Many of them advertise conferences that are going on in the region. Often they are asking people to submit papers for presenting at the conference. This one made me laugh:
Annual Graduate Student Conference April 9-10, 2010
*Call for Papers*
'Uselessness' explores conceptions of utility and value as they have been theorized and deployed within the domains of art, science, and the everyday. What is the useless? .... Encompassing topics from a wide range of disciplines, ‘uselessness’ presents a broad problematic of life, work, meaning, and value. We invite proposals for 15-20 minute presentations that address these issues through any medium
My first thought was to submit a paper or dramatic reading about the uselessness of the 'uselessness' conference.
