EAST-WEST CULTURAL PASSAGE CONFERENCE: | ||
|
Half a century after William Faulkner’s demise, his inciting works
and artistic example still continue to challenge misconceptions and
misappropriations. Faulkner’s legacy equally keeps triggering heated
debates and rebuttals, along with radical reappraisals. The present
conference intends to be the first of a series of biennial events to
examine the international relevance of Faulkner’s works and their
fecund worldwide impact, along with their centrality to American
studies. Papers and panel proposals are invited in the following theoretical and pedagogical areas: - Faulkner and the American Dream - William Faulkner and Film - Faulkner in Translation - Faulkner’s Literary Epigones - The Critical Reception of Faulkner’s Works - Innovative Critical Approaches to Faulkner’s Works - Faulkner and Race - Faulkner and Religion - Teaching Faulkner - Faulkner and War - Narrative Techniques in Faulkner’s Fiction - Comparative Literature Approaches to Faulkner’s Oeuvre Academics from Romania and abroad, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, are encouraged to contribute 20-minute papers, which will then be considered for publication in The Romanian Faulkner, a proceedings volume, and the East/West Cultural Passage journal. | ||
