SUBJECT CENTRE EVENTS
1. Set Texts? New Approaches To The Teaching Of Literature In Languages
And Related Studies / Area Studies (06 June 2003 - CILT, London)
CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE 30 APRIL 2003
The Subject Centre will be holding a one-day seminar to explore
innovatory approaches to the teaching of literature in or translated
from languages other than English. Particular emphasis will be placed
on the evolving role of literature both as a subject of study in its
own right (e.g. in language and area studies programmes) and as a tool
of study in other disciplines (e.g. business, politics and the
sciences). We would welcome presentations on the following themes:
* Trends in literature teaching in language programmes
* Teaching postcolonial literatures
* Literature as a teaching tool in other disciplines
* Literature and technology
* Out with the old, in with the new. Are 'new literatures' pushing
aside the 'classics'?
Abstracts of no more than 100 words should be sent to Alison Dickens
([log in to unmask]) by 30 April 2003.
