italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear all,
I wanted to inform anybody who is interested that the panel on "Calvino
and the Hypertext" is still open. I shall be accepting abstracts till Nov
22. Here is the panel description:
Italo Calvino and The Hypertext
Celebrated Italian writer Italo Calvino has referred to many of his novels
as Hypernovels, alternatively referring to them as literary machines or a
labyrinths. The hypertext, in its dispersal of narrative structure and its
heterogeneous and, it could be argued, its non-literary character,
becomesa central figure Calvino's fictional and theoretical oeuvre since
the mid 60s.The purpose of this panel is to examine the importance of this
figure in the articulation of Italo Calvino's original literary project,
and/or its constitutive role in the author's fiction.
If anybody is interested please contact me.
