Call for Papers
Art, Literature and Travel
May 27-28, 2000
National Sun Yat-sen University
Kaohsiung, Taiwan
This two-day conference aims to draw together interested scholars
researching on the artistic and literary representations of travel and
provide a forum for the critical examination of "the questions of travel."
Entitled as "Art, Literature and Travel," it is intended to provide an
opportunity for participants to, on the one hand, exchange ideas on the
poetics and politics of travel writing and, on the other, examine the
theoretical repercussions of the metaphoric uses of travel in contemporary
literary studies.
The College of Liberal Arts of National Sun Yat-sen University invites paper
and panel proposals that address all travel-related topics. Doctoral
students are also welcome to submit paper proposals on their research
findings.
Stipends, some traveling expenses (pending budgetary approval), room and
board will be provided to paper presenters with a grant from the Ministry of
Education, Council for Cultural Affairs, and National Science Council,
Taiwan.
Topics include the following:
a) Travel Writing in Chinese Literature, Classical and Contemporary
b) Contemporary Taiwan Travel Literature
c) Journeys in Allegories
d) The Fictional Representation of Traveling
e) Immigrant or Exilic Literature
f) Artists, Writers, Tourists, Travelers, and Nomads
g) The Politics of "Travel" and Postcolonial Discourse
