Call for papers: Literature & Philosophy Workshop - 2019-2020
The Literature and Philosophy Workshop is now seeking papers for the 2018-2019 academic year. The workshop is a forum for conversations about literature, philosophy, and, especially, the nebulous but productive intersection of those two areas of thought. Papers presented often address fundamental questions of aesthetics and poetics (e.g. “what are the technical means by which a work achieves what it achieves?”) through close readings of literature. At the same time, we have heard papers in which these questions are addressed by attention to painting, statuary, and film.
This year we especially welcome papers that engage the aforementioned topics using cross-cultural lenses, addressing the intersection of thought and literature using fundamental texts from around the world.
If you are interested in presenting this year, please send your proposal to both Paul Cato (pcato@uchicago.edu) and Antoine Pageau St-Hilaire (apsthilaire@uchicago.edu) by September 10th. Proposals should include 1) a brief description of the paper you wish to present and 2) an indication of when (fall, winter, spring) you would prefer to present.
