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.
