italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Colleagues,
Please note the extended deadline for the CFP Roundtable on Elena Ferrante (SIS Interim Conference, Dublin 29-30 April 2016). We are looking for one or possibly two more speakers. The Roundtable will be in Italian and English.
The Ferrante’s turn in contemporary Italian literature – Session organized for the SIS Interim Conference, Dublin 29-30 April 2016
Elena Ferrante has drawn impressive critical attention in recent years due to the number of questions that her authorship and her novels pose around the concept of subject identity, gender formation, representation of gender, cognitive and epistemic approaches, interplay of narrative and theatrical discourses, performativity, and so on. This round-table/panel seeks contributions (5-10 minutes each followed by discussion/roundtable) that will help illustrating the Ferrante phenomenon (including the enormous readership her books have gained in Italy and abroad) from a theoretical perspective. It will argue that Elena Ferrante’s success represents, in itself, a turning point in Italian culture.
Organizer: Enrica Maria Ferrara (Trinity College Dublin) - Chair: Grace Russo Bullaro (City University of New York - Lehman College)
