The Third Bi-Annual Graduate Student Conference:
Circulations
October 2-3, 2009
The term circulation suggests constant movement. It refers to the passing of information from place to place, person to person or text to text. In language and literature we find not linear movement but rather circulations, implying interdependence and reciprocity. What are circulations in literary and linguistic studies? The transfer of ideas? The traffic of texts? The creation of communities of information? The crossing of physical and metaphorical borders?
The aim of this conference is to explore the concept of circulations in a multilingual, interdisciplinary context. Students currently enrolled in a graduate program in the fields of linguistic and literary studies in French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese are invited to submit abstracts for consideration. Proposals may address, but are not restricted to, the following topics:
• circulation of texts and ideas
• subscriptions and rebellions
• transition from the avant-texte to the text
• reception, translation and interpretation
• linguistic influence and contact
• quotes or misquotes
• readings and misreadings
• inheritance or heredity
• traffic, bridges, highways
• literature of travel, migration or exile
• intertextuality and intratextuality
• time and space
• recurrence of motifs
• reflections or distortions
Presentations should not exceed 20 minutes (8-10 pages MLA style) and may be in French, Spanish or English. There will be a registration fee of $20 per person.
Please send a 250-word abstract in French, Spanish or English, in electronic format with your name, affiliation and contact information (including e-mail), either as an attachment in Rich Text format or in the body of your e-mail to fhis.grad.conference.2009@gmail.com by April 15th, 2009.
