A special conference segment is devoted to creative work - poetry, prose poems and short fiction. These are related to general conference themes and topics. Invited are original contributions from participants who wish to read their work, or from others who would like their work read at the conference. Especially welcome are submissions which offer new critical and analytical perspectives on commerce, money and the accounting profession, and which illustrate the power of imaginative writing to provoke alternative "ways of seeing". We encourage works that probe parallels and conflicts between fictional and professional forms of reality construction, and which explore and expose the fictions which underwrite our vision of the real. Above all, we seek contributions which, in the time-honored Horatian phrase, "instruct by pleasing".
Intending participants should register for the
conference in the usual way.
