[ecrea] Law and Literature Conference 2017

Mon Nov 28 10:55:31 GMT 2016




CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE EXTENDED

*LAW AND LITERATURE CONFERENCE 2017*

MASARYK UNIVERSITY (BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC)

31 MAY – 2 JUNE 2017

The Law and Literature movement is still quite new in the Central Europe but its importance is growing lately. A unique legal and cultural experience of this area can provide a new inspiration to the Law and Literature discussions so the ambition of the conference is to provide a new platform to explore current possibilities and spaces of the Law and Literature field. It is thus our intention to bring new stimuli to the traditional approach to the mainly West-oriented Law and Literature movement.

Brno is the second largest city of the Czech Republic, home country of Franz Kafka, Milan Kundera and Vaclav Havel. Czech culture is a combination of Slavic, Austro/Hungarian, German and both Christian and Jewish cultural tradition. As well as the multicultural background, also Nazism and Communism left their traces both at the legal and cultural environment. Brno itself is a centre of the Czech judiciary: The Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. Thanks to all these various influences and conditions, the Czech Republic and especially Brno is a perfect venue for the Law and Literature conference.

Streams:

• Metamodernism and the Transformation of Narrative (New Trends and Possibilities in Law and Literature) - co-convened by Daniela Carpi (English Literature, University of Verona, Italy) and Jeanne Gaakeer (Legal Theory, Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam, Netherlands)

• Muss es Sein? Kundera and Law - convened by Rafał Mańko (University of Amsterdam)

• Fictional-world Jurisprudence – convened by Terezie Smejkalová (Masaryk University, Brno)

• General Stream – co-convened by Martin Škop and Markéta Štěpáníková (Masaryk University, Brno)

We welcome also *abstracts regarding media and literature narratives, genres, critical discourse* or similarly as there is an interdisciplinary overlap among law, literature, communication, narrative theory etc.

Extended abstract submission deadline: 5 December 2016

Draft submission deadline: 30 April 2017

Conference date: 31 May – 2 June 2017
