The Sixth Symbiosis Conference
Headline Theme: ‘Anglo-American Aesthetics: Innovations and Economies of
Influence?’ (N.B. Submissions on other topics are welcome).
Venue: Brunel University, West London
Dates: 12th – 15th July 2007
The School of Arts at Brunel University is delighted to collaborate with
Symbiosis in hosting the Sixth Symbiosis Conference, “Anglo-American
Aesthetics: Innovations and Economies of Influence?,” at the Uxbridge
Campus, Brunel University, July 12–15, 2007.
Symbiosis: A Journal of Anglo-American Literary and Cultural Relations
specifically addresses the artificial divide between literatures and
cultures on either side of the Atlantic, a separation recognized by few
creative writers but often institutionalized in the modern academic
community. It is the journal uniquely concerned with studies of literary
and cultural relations between the British Isles and the Americas and is
interested in all genres, all theoretical approaches, and all periods
from the beginnings of Anglophone America to the present. We welcome
submissions and expressions of interest from a whole range of fields.
Our venue seems apt since a concept of innovation in education and
learning is central to Brunel’s identity, especially given its origin in
the ‘White Heat of Technology’ in the 1960s. Brunel has expanded and
embraced the arts and humanities, and the Symbiosis conference offers an
opportunity for collaboration with scholars interested in the principles
and practice of Anglo-American literary and cultural influence from
around the globe. The headline theme of the event does not exclude any
other proposals concerning any other aspect of relevant transatlantic
themes and contexts, which are most welcome, as are complete panels
(subject to scrutiny and final approval by the conference organizers).
This should be an occasion for productive dialogue between scholars of
literary and material culture. Papers on any aspect of literary,
theoretical, and material transatlantic cultural exchange are
anticipated. Panel proposals for integrated sessions are particularly
welcomed.
Proposals of approximately 300 words should be submitted, with a brief
description (where relevant indicating institutional affiliation and
publications in particular) of the proposer, by email only, to
Philip Tew; [log in to unmask]
