CALL FOR PAPERS sent by Gregory Pell, Assistant Professor of Italian, Hofstra
University (NY).
Hofstra Cultural Center and the Hofstra University Department of Romance
Languages and Literatures present a conference:
AT WHOM ARE WE LAUGHING?
Humor in Romance Language Literatures Catalan, Galician, French, Italian,
Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish
April 10, 11 and 12, 2008
If humor is transgressive, what has been overturned?
If corrective, what progress has been made?
Must humor serve a higher purpose?
Or can there be a humor for humor’s sake alone?
Together, within the scope of seven language paradigms, we will attempt to
answer these questions and pose many more, even as we wonder: At Whom Are We
Laughing?
We invite submissions of papers and suggestions for panels. Papers should focus
on literature (poetry, prose, theater, related art, etc.) but can include
references to film, opera and other media. Suggested topics can include, but
are not limited to, the following:
• The Grotesque, the Burlesque and the Carnivalesque
• Humor in the Picaresque
• Rogues and Tricksters
• The Commedia dell’Arte
• Culinary Humor
• Wit, Mores and Linguistics
• Folkloric Motifs
• Children’s Literature
• The Laughter of Discomfort
• Humor and National Identity
• Ethnic Variations of Humor
• The Vulgarians
• Gender(s) and Humor
• The Misogynists
• Erotic Tropes of Humor
• The Irreverence of Parody
• Satirical Eulogy
