Poetry: Writing, Translating, Publishing.
A one-day conference at the University of Manchester (UK)
25th June 2012
Confirmed keynote speakers
Dr John McAuliffe (University of Manchester);
Dr Francis Jones (Newcastle University);
Dr Daniela La Penna (University of Reading).
The conference aims at bringing together postgraduates and scholars
from different research fields such as Creative Writing, Contemporary
Literature(s), Linguistics, Translation Studies, Sociology of Culture,
History of the Book, in order to present an interdisciplinary debate
on poetry.
Specifically, the conference will represent a forum for discussing the
three different perspectives suggested by the conference title, namely
that of poets - by looking at the process of poetry writing; of
translators - by analysing the constraints of translating a poem; and
finally of poetry editors/publishers - by examining the publishing
strategies adopted in the specific case of poetry.
We are pleased to invite contributions of 20 minute long papers in
English, engaging methodologically with one of the three aspects of
the conference (a focus on both modern and contemporary poetry - all
languages - will be privileged).
Please send abstracts (max 300 words), along with paper title,
affiliation and a short bio to the organisers, Dr Jacob Blakesley and
Mila Milani ([log in to unmask]), by 16 April 2012.
Speakers will be notified by 30 April 2012.
