Call for Papers

The Department of American Culture and Literature, Baskent University, 
Ankara, Turkey, is pleased to announce the “International F. Scott 
Fitzgerald Conference,” which will be held on 7-8 May 2015.  As a writer 
who captured (in fact, to a large extent, promoted) the spirit of what 
he dubbed “the Jazz Age,” Fitzgerald remains a compelling presence in 
popular culture as well as an enduring subject for study, research, and 
criticism.  The aim of this two-day Conference is, through academic and 
critical reappraisals of Fitzgerald’s legacy in terms of both his work 
and life, to mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of his death.  During 
the Conference, Fitzgerald and his writings will be addressed and 
discussed through multiple, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary 
approaches.  Suggested topics for papers include but are not limited to:

Fitzgerald and Modernism
Fitzgerald and the Jazz Age
Fitzgerald and Flappers
Fitzgerald and the Great Depression
Fitzgerald  the Self-Publicist
Fitzgerald and His Contemporaries
Fitzgerald and the American Novel
Fitzgerald and the American Expatriates
Fitzgerald and Politics
Race, Class, and Ethnicity in Fitzgerald
Gender and Sexuality in Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald: Sources and Influences
International Reception of Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald  on Screen and Stage
Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald
