Temporalities, Territories and Imaginaries:
Critical
and Contemporary Modes of Literary Productivity
Key Note Speaker:
MARIO BELLATIN
Saturday, March 22, 2014
The Spanish Graduate Program would like to invite the
academic community to its second conference. This encounter seeks to address
the complex relationships between literary discourse and its political, social,
artistic and cultural dimensions in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. The
committee searches for pedagogical research involving new and contemporary modes
of literary subjectivity and productivity—for example, critical temporalities,
simultaneous territories, subalternity, and intergeneric texts. The main
interest and objective is to identify emerging narratives and/or articulations that
interrogate canonicity and nation formation but which simultaneously produce
new modes of artistic creativity. The committee also encourages panels and
presentations in the Visual Arts—film, photography, new and old forms of
communication--, Gender Studies, Comparative Literatures, and (Post)Poetry.
Although the invitation is directed to students in the fields of literature,
arts or culture, we would also take into consideration proposals from
departments of the School of Arts and Sciences such as History, Transatlantic
Studies, Latin American and Chicano Studies, Linguistics, Religious Studies and/or
emerging critical theories (Affect Theory, Biopolitics, etc.).
All best,
