CFP: Inscriptions '04 (TRNC) (1/31/04; 6/3/04 - 6/4/04)
CALL FOR PAPERS
The relations between text, cinema and/or dramatic performance
A Panel Discussion at INSCRIPTIONS '04: an Arts and Culture Conference and
Festival
at Eastern Mediterranean University
in Famagusta, on the island of Cyprus
June 3rd- 4th, 2004, organized by the Department of English Literature and
the Humanities
The seventh annual Literature and Humanities Conference will be held at
Eastern Mediterranean University under the heading Inscriptions '04 and will
take place at the university and environs between June 3rd - 4th, 2004. In
conjunction with a wide selection of music, performance and film events,
discussion-friendly papers are being solicited for our symposium. Although
we will be publishing selected presentations from Inscriptions '04, we
encourage participants to move away from the standard prewritten, "finished
paper" format, towards a more open-ended presentation, which will provoke
and contribute to a genuine exchange of research and ideas during the panel
sessions. Our aim is to create a forum and publishing venue for inspiring
work in progress, where the exchange of ideas with fellow academics
participating in the conference will contribute to the final form of
participants' work.
With this in mind, we invite papers and/or presentations that examine the
current status of critical thinking on the relations between text, cinema
and/or dramatic performance.
Possible topics might include but are not limited to:
- from Barthes to Bergman to Beckett: theorizing text and
technique
