italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Colleagues,
There is still space for another paper in the following session:
(both "Critical Practice and Italian Films" and "Revisiting the Italian
Renaissance: Case Studies" have reached the maximum number of participants
and sumbissions to those sessions are now closed).
VISUAL AND VERBAL INTERSECTIONS
7-10 May 2009 St. John's University in Manhattan, NY. 2009
American Association of Italian Studies (AAIS) Annual Conference.
The aim of this session is to explore the intersection between verbal and
visual languages as expressed in but not limited to literary works in
order to engage in a dialogue on the mutual collaboration between the word
and the image. Possible topics may include ekphrastic writing, novels that
integrate images as part of the narration, iconicity, photography,
futurism, illustrated narratives (graphic novels and comics included).
Word & Image act not only as two kinds of expression but also as two modes
of narration. Different approaches may include image theories, visual
semiotics, cultural studies, literary theory, etc.
Please submit a title, 200 words abstract and AV equipment needs by
Jan. 15, 2009.
