Registration for the 2014 21st-Century Theories of Literature: Essence, Fiction, and Value Conference is now open
The conference will be held between the 27th-29th March 2014, at the University of Warwick.
Whilst aestheticians in the Analytic tradition and literary critics may engage with each other’s fields in individual works, collections, and particular collaborations, particularly now that interdisciplinarity is becoming more of a sought after criterion in the academic sphere and in funding applications, there are still too few conference platforms that directly and explicitly promote this interaction.
This conference seeks to capitalise upon such works as Terry Eagleton’s The Event of Literature (which surprised many by systematically engaging with analytic philosophy) and the all-too-rare live interaction between literary critics and philosophers (such as Peter Lamarque and Derek Attridge at York’s ‘Contemporary Aesthetic Education’ event) in order to develop active relationships and reap the benefits of such collaboration.
Keynote Speakers: Prof. Sergia Adamo (Trieste), Prof. Catherine Belsey (Swansea), Prof. Gregory Currie (York), Prof. Peter Lamarque (York), Prof. Stein Haugom Olsen (Østfold), Prof. Jean-Michel Rabaté (Pennsylvania)
