CALL FOR PAPERS
=20
The 6th HAS=C5 conference aims at addressing the special theme of Pain =
and Joy which have been explored as experiences combining physical, =
psychological, private, public, conceptual and cultural dimensions. To =
investigate how these multi-faceted and subjective domains of human =
experience are construed and constrained, prospective participants are =
invited to contribute studies in the fields of linguistics, literature =
and cultural theory from autonomous or interdisciplinary perspectives. =
Hence, links between different areas within and across these fields are =
particularly encouraged. Drawing upon the debate on representing vs. =
(re)constructing reality through language and literature, the conference =
is meant to explore views in relation to the treatment of 'joy' and =
'pain'. Furthermore, it fosters work that addresses the question of the =
extent to which pain/joy may be seen as agents of either the inhibition =
or the stimulation of creativity.
Pain and joy may be examined in relation to the suggested topics below =
(the list not being exhaustive):=20
