European Society of Comparative Literature (ESCL) Conference

Narrations of Origins in World Cultures and the Arts

University of Torino, Torino/Italy

24-27 November 2020

https://www.originsescl2020.unito.it

 

The international ESCL / European Society of Comparative Literature /
conference "Narrations of Origins in World Cultures and the Arts"
(University of Torino, 24-27 novembre 2020) will investigate the
relationships between ancient and modern cultures, analyzing the most
relevant mythologies, archetypes and narrations of origins according to
groundbreaking critical perspectives. It will compare literature, science
and any form of artistic representation - including cinema and new media -
in order to study the different cosmological patterns from cultural,
historical and anthropological frameworks. It will also reflect on the role
of narratives of pure invention, including parodic and provoking ones. In
general, it will explore how poetic, fictional and artistic experimentations
intersect in cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approaches. We therefore
encourage members and participants to think about these questions from the
greatest range of possible perspectives.

 

Personal and panel proposals may address issues (clusters and subthemes)
like the following:

1.	Narrations and representations of origins in world cultures: the
archetypes and their developments.
2.	The Big Bang and the birth of human beings: science narratives.
3.	Cosmology, art and poetry.
4.	Imagining the origins, representing the sublime.
5.	Origins as textual genesis, in the arts, literature, styles and
literary genres.
6.	Languages and narratives of origins in the arts of modernism and
modernity.
7.	A big deception? Fakes, simulations, inventions, and odd hypothesis
about origins.

 

Proposals should be submitted in English, Italian or French to the e-mail
address origins.escl.to2020 at gmail.com <mailto:origins.escl.to2020 at gmail.com>
not later than the 31st of January 2020. Proposals should include a title,
an abstract (max. 300 words), a short bio-bibliography and an e-mail
address. The time of delivery for each paper should be no more than 20
minutes. Registration fee for Participants: 90 euros; Graduate Students and
PhDs: 50 euros. The conference languages will be English, French and
Italian.
