Constructions of Creativity: hosted by St. Chad's College in Association
with the English Department, Durham University.
Call for Papers:
This 2-day graduate conference (Sept 7-8) aims to stimulate discussion
of English literary creativity as this has been perceived in all periods
and cultures, and across all genres and forms. From the earliest epochs
of our literary history, authors and their critics and audiences have
preoccupied themselves with questions as to the origins, nature,
functions and purposes of creativity. These engagements have given rise
to a multiplicity of definitions and interpretations, which it will be
our purpose to explore, compare and contrast.Speakers are encouraged to
make as free and broad interpretations of the conference theme as may
suggest themselves. Topics of papers could include but need in no way
be confined to:
Authorial processes and practices;
Literary identities and self-fashioning;
Metaphors and analogues for the creative and inspirational
processes where these provide the forms or contents of authors writings
(i.e. dream vision, forgery);
Cultural, economic and material contexts, e.g. issues of copyright
law; the social or political roles of the author; the literary
marketplace; patronage; public perceptions of authorship; the impacts
and influences of critics and reviewers;
Editorial practice and the establishment of authorship;
Theoretical formulations and interpretations of imagination and
creativity.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent via email:
