University Of Chicago Italian Studies Collective
CALL FOR PAPERS
Percorsi narrativi: Spaces, Borders and Journeys in Italian Culture
November 21, 1998
Keynote Speaker:
Professor Graziella Parati, Dartmouth College
Speaking on Film and the Culture of Migration in Contemporary Italy
The University of Chicago Italian Studies Collective will hold a graduate
student conference on verbal and visual narratives of travel, movement and
space on Saturday, November 21, 1998, at the Chicago Humanities Institute.
The title "percorsi narrativi" suggests an open approach to concepts of
space, to movement across physical and figurative boundaries, and to travel
as a literal and metaphorical construct. This broadly understood concept of
movement provides one conceptual key to an enormous range of Italian
cultural production: it could be used to discuss the peregrinations and
transversals played out in the works of artists as diverse as Boiardo,
Pasolini and Ortese.
We welcome papers from various disciplines (Literature, Film, History, Art
History, Music, Queer Studies, Gender Studies, Culture Studies, etc.).
Papers can relate to any period from Medieval to Postmodern, and may be in
English or Italian.
Papers should be 15-20 minutes long (8-10 pages MLA format). Please submit
an abstract and a full copy of your paper by October 10 with an
accompanying notecard giving your name, address, phone number, e-mail
address and paper title. Your name should not appear anywhere on the
abstract or the paper. Please submit your paper to:
Sally Hill and Lynn Westwater, Chairs, Italian Studies Collective
