"Mondes de la fiction / Worlds of fiction"

Publié le par Sophie Rabau (Source : clclist)

Call for papers: Through an interdisciplinary perspective aiming at the convergence of theoretical, historical, sociological, and literary points ofview, New York University's French Graduate Students Association is pleased to announce its annual conference: "Mondes de la fiction / Worlds of Fiction," 3 March 2003. Whether seen in relation to truth or sincerity, to fact or interpretation, to logical argumentation or to the institutional domain of the literary, fiction seems to be, more than just a notion, an
area of exploration whose definition continues to be a work in progress. How can we define the complex rapport between fiction and reality -- and how can we define the nature of fiction and its function. What does the theory of fiction bring to literary criticism and theory? What is the
social role of fiction? Please send abstracts in English or French before 10 January 2003 to Xavier Blandin at .
