*REMINDER* IGRS Graduate Forum May Session 3rd May 2012 6pm to 7.30pm STB 3, Stewart House basement [PLEASE NOTE ROOM CHANGE] Loans and transfers in Language and Literature Our last session this year will feature two papers from very different disciplines, looking at how words and myths are reused in contexts different to their origin, transforming both themselves and their new surroundings. While the first of our panellists will be examining Greek Myths in Contemporary Italian Literature, the second focuses on what occurs when words from one European language pass into others. Join us for a stimulating discussion! Speakers and titles: Serena Alessi (RHUL) "Rewriting myths: the figures of Ulysses and Penelope in Luigi Malerba's Itaca per sempre and Alberto Savinio's Capitan Ulisse". David Hunter (UCL) “A pilot study of French words in English, Dutch and German”
