Call For Papers: GODS OF WINE, 11th International Conference on Textual 
Analysis Trama y Fondo, University of La Rioja, Spain: 8 - 10 October 2020


DEADLINE, or ‘LIFELINE’: 29 February 2020

Dear colleagues,

The Trama y Fondo Cultural Association and the University of La Rioja 
organise ‘GODS OF WINE’, the 11th International Conference on Textual 
Analysis Trama y Fondo, to be held in La Rioja (Spain) between the 8th 
and 10th October 2020.

Trama y Fondo is mainly formed by scholars related to the fields of 
communication, media studies, film and psychoanalysis. Twice a year, the 
association publishes a printed journal which is accesible online for 
free at tramayfondo.com <http://tramayfondo.com>.

The dates meet the end of the grape harvest, and wine will beprimus 
inter pares among other alcoholic drinks. Thus beer, whisky, rum, or 
tequila, among others, are equally welcome in relation to the 
presence of their gods in all kinds of media, texts, art, culture, etc.

IMPORTANT: the conference will take place both in the University of La 
Rioja in Logroño, La Rioja capital on the 8th and 9th October. On 
Saturday 10th of October we will all move to the monasteries of 
San Millán de la Cogolla, birthplace of the Spanish language and 
a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Attendees will benefit from guided visits 
to the Monastery of Suso and that of Yuso. Previously, they will have 
the option of joining a visit and dinner at a winery.

We will receive abstracts on these topics (up to 300 words) until the 
29th of February on (congreso.diosesvino /at/ unirioja.es) 
<mailto:(congreso.diosesvino /at/ unirioja.es)>. We prefer to call it 
a ‘lifeline’ rather than a deadline…

The official languages of the conference are English, French and Spanish.

CFP
GODS OF WINE
11th International Conference on Textual Analysis Trama y Fondo

Everything that is relevant to a civilization is to be found in its 
rites and myths, the manifestations of which are associated with their 
gods. That is the case, since ancient times, with wine, a major 
beverage of Mediterranean cultures. From the Egyptian Osiris to the 
Christian Jesus, including the Greek Dionysus and the Roman Bacchus, 
wine has been present in these cultures’ major rituals, as well as at 
the core of their extremely significant mythological stories.

Then, the civilization born in that environment, but already expanded to 
a much larger geographical area that we have called the West, took the 
risky step of challenging its own mythology –the effects of which have 
not yet been sufficiently pondered. And yet wine continued finding a 
no less remarkable place in the artistic texts that came to occupy the 
place vacated by mythology, thus remaining associated, if not with the 
vanished gods, with the heroes who have replaced them in these new stories.

As it is worth reflecting on the foregoing, the Trama y Fondo Cultural 
Association and the University of La Rioja convene the 
11th International Conference on Textual Analysis that will be held in 
Logroño, Spain, during the 8th, 9th and 10th of October 2020, under the 
title Gods of Wine. On the 10th of October the conference will be held 
at the monasteries of San Millán de la Cogolla, birthplace of 
the Spanish language and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As wine is primus inter pares in the vast territory of alcoholic drinks, 
all of them: beer, whisky, tequila, pisco, rum, chicha, brandy, gin, 
vodka, sake, etc. and the texts in which they have a relevant presence, 
can find a place in our eleventh conference. The call for papers is now 
open.
