[ecrea] A Symposium on Literature as Communication - ECREA PhilComm Section

Fri Dec 10 13:53:08 GMT 2010


A Symposium on Literature as Communication
at Åbo Akademi University, Turku, Finland
2nd - 3rd September, 2011


Organizers
Åbo Akademi University
ECREA

The Symposium

Not only among literary theoreticians and critics, but also among students of rhetoric, communication and media, stylisticians, discourse and dialogue analysts, historians of the book, and social and cultural philosophers and historians, there is a growing tendency to see literary activity as one among other forms of human communication.

This symposium, arranged by The Philosophy of Communication Section of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) and the Literary Communication Project at Åbo Akademi University, is to provide a forum in which to assess both the broader and more detailed implications of this trend for our understanding of literature?s place within the lives of individuals and communities.

The symposium will assume a nominalistic and broad definition of literature. Literature, that is to say, will be viewed as consisting of all those texts which, either now or in the past, have been referred to as literary, and as not necessarily restricted to merely poems, plays and novels.
