Well, it's a provocative title with a view to getting people into a conference. I end up at a lot of conferences, and you'll find that the more ambiguously-titled ones tend to get more people in. A friend and I were talking about heading a conference titled 're-imagining postmodern wallpaper', just to see how many people we'd get.
However, knowing a bit about the sort of department that is, and the fact he's a lit/ crit theory sort, it'll definitely be something relating to Stanley Fish or the vogue for books 'disappearing' in crit theory. Which is a fine theory, except when anyone thinks it actually means something more than 'Dickens isn't very good'.
