4th Re-Examining American Literature Student Symposium (REAL): Call for Papers
The 4th REAL Student Symposium “American Pasts and American Futures in Literature and Culture” seeks to explore the future and the past as concepts, ideals, and ideologies. The United States, as a nation that always looks ahead trying to reinvent itself, enjoys a troubled relationship with both its past and its future. We are interested in ways in which the pasts(s) and the future(s) of America conjured up in literary and cultural texts reflect and comment on the current state and possible developments in the United States.
We cordially invite B.A., M.A. students and doctoral candidates, to submit conference papers (approx. 20-minute presentations) on American literature, theater, film and art.
Deadline for submitting abstracts is January 15, 2023.
