Bridging the Gaps, Minding the Context is a conference hosted by and designed for PhD and Postgraduate students to be held at the Universidade de Vigo on 17th-18th March 2010.It seeks to address a number of issues related to literary studies today, in an attempt to bring together early-career researchers from different disciplines.As the title suggests, this conference proposes to discuss the intersection between literature and culture, and how such connection can successfully reflect deeper changes at other levels: how can borders be crossed in literature? And, how do we cross them when encountering a written text? The fragility and ever-changing nature of meaning and textual veracity will also serve as the starting point from which to explore shifting perceptions of power and authority in the text.
Suggested topics and interdisciplinary approaches include (although they are not restricted to):
- (Neo)Medieval and Renaissance Studies
- Children and Young Adult Literature
- Victorian and Modernist Studies
- Postcolonial and Diaspora Studies
- Graphic Novels and Picture Books
