"Verbal, Visual, Virtual: New Canons for the Twenty-First Century"

From The Interpretation of Dreams at the beginning of the century, with its emphasis on the visual language of the unconscious, to Sophie Calle's phototextual autobiographies at its close, experiments with form, genre, aesthetics, and representations in visual, verbal, and virtual modes cross boundaries and push the limits of textualities and the canon. Lacan's psychic language, Barthes's Mythologies, Kristeva's Révolution du langage poétique, Ricardou's textique, Baudrillard's simulacra, ciné-romans, new technologies, the era of theory, postmodern performatives, electronic media, and globalization--all have challenged twentieth- and twenty-first century readers/viewers with new mappings of culture. Speakers at the 22nd meeting of the 20th-21st Century French and Francophone Studies International Colloquium are asked to explore the revolutionary dynamics of languages--verbal, visual, virtual--that have transformed our way of seeing and being in the world and altered the very notion of texte.
