Fred D’Aguiar writes of the impossibility of a last poem, a last play, a last song - final acts of creativity that would disqualify any future return to the subject. A Triangular Traffic: Literature, Slavery and the Archive (2nd and 3rd November 2007, University of Dundee) marks the moment of the British Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act by interrogating the historical, literary and representational relationship between Empire, plantation, slavery and abolition. It will enable writers, historians, archivists and literary scholars to address creative and scholarly work in literature that is grounded in the archival research on slavery, the nature and purpose of such narrativisations and textual transformations, and the ethical uses to which they are put to.
