Reimagining Identity in Language, Literature and Culture
This conference aims to evaluate conceptions of identity in Italy, France, the Francophone world and the Italian Diaspora from an interdisciplinary perspective. Participants are asked to address identities in states of transformation both throughout history as well as through the optic of more recent developments such as Decolonization, Globalization, Americanization, Postcolonial and post-1989 Migrations and European Union expansion. We aim to go beyond national frameworks by investigating transnational and regional contexts and to encourage a critical debate of the very notion of identity as a discursive category. Participants are asked to address questions of identity in the fields of literature and linguistics, music, film, art and popular culture.
To be considered, paper proposals, in French, English or Italian, should include:
A 200-300 word abstract
Your name
Mailing address
Email address
University affiliation
Deadline for submission is December 12th, 2008. Please email paper proposals as a Word document or PDF attachment to: Michael Gott, mgott@mail.utexas.edu
