CONFERENCE

At the INSTITUTE OF GERMANIC & ROMANCE STUDIES, LONDON

Co-Ordinators: Godela Weiss-Sussex (IGRS, London) and Charlotte Woodford (Cambridge)

 

This interdisciplinary conference will explore the various discourses of protest, reform and experimentation conducted in the socio-political field. It will also ask how these discourses are taken up and transformed by art and culture. Further objectives are to investigate the literary and artistic strategies employed to engage with socio-political concerns, to examine the relationship between factual and fictional discourses, and to determine the impact made by artistic production on the socio-political debates of the time. The programme includes a postgraduate workshop led by Elizabeth Boa (Nottingham) and Matthew Jefferies (Manchester).

Keynote speakers include: Matthew Jefferies (Manchester) and James van Dyke (Missouri)
