italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Can you give us an idea of the the 'many literary works' that incorporate
this theme? I think of Dante's Ugolino and Iris Murdoch's cassoulet in A
Fairly Honourable Defeat. But perhaps you could give some more guidance, and
some indication of why this theme is so important to you.
Best wishes,
Penny

>University of Edinburgh Postgraduate Conference

>We invite proposals from postgraduate students for a conference
>on "Incorporation in Literature" to be held at the University of Edinburgh
>on 8 July 2006. This conference seeks to address the idea of
>incorporation from a variety of different perspectives. Incorporation is
>an important theme in many literary works in which eating, drinking,
>digesting, or even cannibalism figure prominently, whether these subjects
>are treated literally or metaphorically. In a more abstract sense,
>incorporation could also be understood as the way in which one work can be
>incorporated into another as an influence, or as the ways in which visual
>images and other graphic details are incorporated into literary texts. By
>inviting papers on specific texts or authors in any language from any
>period, this conference seeks to provide a comparative exploration of the
>ways in which incorporation has been used in literature.
>
>Abstracts of no more than 200 words should be sent to both conference
>organisers at the addresses below by 31 March. Papers should be no more
>than 20 minutes long and should be in delivered in English.
>
>Topics might include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
>- consumerism
>- consumption
>- food
>- eating/drinking/digesting
>- cannibalism
>- communion
>- cultural cannibalism
>- translation/transcreation
>- influence
>- rewriting
>- incorporation as form of resistance
>- text and image
>- dialogue
