CALL FOR PAPERS
POETICS OF THE TEXT
7 - 8 June, 2002
In the light of a gradual shifting of emphasis from the radically free =
(postmodern?) textuality to a more traditional view of the artistic =
form, the conference aims to investigate the relationship between the =
two crucial terms "poetics" and "text". While the term "poetics" has =
traditionally been associated with the system, organisation, structure, =
the term "text" has come to express extreme citationality which was to =
subvert any rational organisation of the world, seeing it as a result of =
free play of signifiers. The following are the relevant questions that =
emerge from this shift: Is the view of the artistic text as a playful =
semiotic artifact tenable in the after-postmodern period? Is it not time =
for the aesthetics to look back and attempt to come to terms with the =
concept of the form or structure again, to re-value the term "the work =
of art" as a connector between the semiotic and the ontological =
dimensions of artistic texts? If yes, what particular lessons have been =
learned from the "rule of textuality"?
In addition to the primary focus of the conference, the contact between =
the poetic and the textual, the papers may also address the overlap of =
the poetic/textual to other fields, e.g.:
linguistics,
general semiotics,
translation studies,
philosophy,
gender and cultural studies
education, etc.
Deadline for registration and submission of abstracts (15-20 lines):
March 31, 2002.
Working languages: English, Slovak.
The time for presentations will be restricted to 15-20 minutes.
