italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear colleagues, please consider submitting a proposal for the following session: AAIS/AATI 2020 Conference University of Arizona, Tucson March 26-28, 2020 https://aaisaati2020.uark.edu/ *HOW IS THE ITALIAN NOVEL DOING?* *PERSPECTIVES ON THE NOVELS OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM* Organizer: Francesco Samarini (Indiana University, Bloomington) In the last decade, a significant number of scholars – Raffaele Donnarumma, Carlo Tirinanzi De Medici, Paolo Giovannetti, etc. – have tried to offer systematized perspectives on contemporary Italian novel. Keeping in mind these critical studies, the panel’s goal is that of identifying some general trends that are specific to post-millennial Italian novels. The presentations may focus on a variety of aspects, including language, style, themes, narrative structures, literary models, etc. Prospective speakers must submit a 200-word abstract and a brief biography to Francesco Samarini ([log in to unmask]) by November 28, 2019. ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe italian-studies YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe italian-studies to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/italian-studies
