CALL FOR PAPERS
Learning from Cultural Literacy: Practice and Theory
Monday 9 – Tuesday 10 July 2018
Monash University Prato Centre, Via Pugliesi 26, 59100 Prato, Italy
Symposium of the Cultural Literacy in Europe Forum [CLE], organised by Monash University, with the support of the Monash Education
Academy. All info:
http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/cle-symposium-2018/
Founded in 2007 and grounded in Literary and Cultural Studies, CLE aims to bring together academics, artists, policy-makers and members of the cultural
industries, as well as a growing number of partner institutions, in a Forum for discussion and development across Europe and beyond. Cultural Literacy addresses cultures and cultural artefacts as text-like constructions that are inherently readable and subject
to interpretation. All info: http://cleurope.eu/
The first biennial Cultural Literacy in Europe Conference took place in London in April 2015, the second in Warsaw in 2017. We are
now pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the second Interim Symposium of the Cultural Literacy in Europe forum. The Symposium serves a dual purpose – as an independent event, and as an introductory session to the biennial Cultural Literacy in Europe
Conference (next to be held in Lisbon in 2019).
Under the broad thematic umbrella of
Learning from Cultural Literacy, this interdisciplinary Symposium aims to share new research on Cultural
Literacy and its application to different fields. We welcome proposals that touch on
one or more of the following areas:
·
Pedagogical approaches to Cultural Literacy: how can we best teach/learn using Cultural Literacy as a pedagogical method, or how
can we teach/learn about Cultural Literacy, as a subject matter?
·
What can translation teach us about Cultural Literacy?
·
Creative representations of Cultural Literacy.
·
Semiotics and cultural
readability, different approaches to reading and interpreting the world.
·
Cultural Literacy and digital humanities.
·
Literature and Cultural Literacy: literary theory vs. literary practice.
·
Cultural Literacy and inter/transdisciplinarity.
The Symposium will include presentations, discussion papers, workshop sessions and roundtables on potential research areas for collaborative
international projects through publications and grants, in Europe and abroad.
FORMAT
The proposed format will include practice-based workshops, paper presentations, and roundtables. We will also have a forum for doctoral
student presentations in the evenings.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Contributions will be in English. Papers will be a maximum of 10 minutes long.
Proposals for workshops must be at least one hour long.
The themes for the roundtable discussions will be determined by the Programme Committee, and announced in advance. Please send a 200-300
word abstract of your proposed paper or workshop including the title of your proposal, your name, contact details, and affiliation to Ms Eloise Faichney at:
