Colloque international
T. S. Eliot à Paris
32e rencontre annuelle de la T. S. Eliot Society
du 18 au 22 juillet 2011
Institut du monde anglophone, 5, rue de l'École de médecine, Paris 6e
De septembre 1910 à juin 1911, le jeune T. S. Eliot, encore étudiant à l'université Harvard, fit un long séjour universitaire à Paris: ce premier voyage en Europe allait avoir des conséquences incalculables sur l'oeuvre à venir du grand poète, critique et dramaturge anglo-américain. Pour célébrer le centenaire de cet événement fondateur, la T. S. Eliot Society, le Centre de recherche en littérature et poétique comparées de l'université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense et le laboratoire Prismes de l'université Paris III Sorbonne nouvelle organisent avec le soutien de l'Institut universitaire de France un grand colloque international qui se tiendra à Paris du 18 au 22 juillet 2011 avec des chercheurs venus du monde entier.
À cette occasion, la 32e conférence à la mémoire de T. S. Eliot (T. S. Eliot Memorial Lecture), sera donnée par Jean-Michel Rabaté, professeur à l'université de Pennsylvanie (États-Unis).
Le colloque aura lieu à l'Institut du monde anglophone de l'université Paris III Sorbonne nouvelle, 5, rue de l'École de médecine, Paris 6e.
