Dear Poundians; perhaps the following CFP will be of interest to some of you:
GAZİANTEP UNIVERSITY
in collaboration with
Pamukkale
University
invites you to the
3rd International
BAKEA
Symposium of
Western Cultural and Literary Studies
9-11 October 2013
Gaziantep, Turkey
The BAKEA Symposium is a biennial
symposium organized by Pamukkale University. This year it will be organized
jointly by Pamukkale and Gaziantep Universities and hosted by Gaziantep
University.
The
BAKEA welcomes papers and panel proposals from researchers in the fields of
English, American, French and German Cultures and Literatures.
HISTORY
The relation between historical study and the practice and study of
literature is a tense one, with both disciplines existing symbiotically with
each other and rejecting and overriding one another: to historicise is to
override literature, while to aestheticise can be to ignore historical contexts
and historiography. With this conference
the interdependent, interpenetrating and contradictory disciplines of history
and literature will be celebrated.
This conference solicits proposals for papers by researchers and
scholars in the fields of English, American, French and German Cultures and
Literatures that examine the role of history in literature and the relationship
between history and literature to be presented at a three-day conference held
between the ninth and eleventh of October 2013, at Gaziantep University in
Gaziantep, Turkey.
The BAKEA Symposium welcomes papers and/or panel proposals that cover,
though are not limited to, one or more of the following topics:
Contemporary history and the
future of memoryThe end of historyConflicting historiesApocryphal historyRemembering vs. forgettingBiography vs. autobiographyPrivate historiesMetahistoryThe conjunction of theory and
historyHistoricism and
Anti-HistoricismHistory as fiction/fiction as
historyFiction and poetry as
historiographyLinguistic approaches to
historical textsHistoriography and narratologyAny other issues relating to
literature and history
Deadline for proposals:
30 April 2013
http://bakea2013.gantep.edu.tr
Proposals should be 250 words in length and should be sent, with a brief
biography and contact details, to [log in to unmask] by the 30th
of April 2013. Paper swill be accepted in English, French, German and Turkish.
Accepted
papers will be announced on the 6th of June 2013.
It would be great to welcome some Poundians to Turkey, and hear some papers on Pound's historiography,
