[Commlist] CfP: Traversing beyond Borders: Intermediality and Cross-Cultural Communication PGR Conference

*CfP: Traversing beyond Borders: Intermediality and Cross-Cultural 
Communication PGR Conference*

Friday, 31 May 2024         UCL IAS G11 Common Ground

Our one-day PGR Conference (funded by IAS Critical Area Studies small 
grant) aims to showcase the research of PGR students from various fields 
whose work is relevant to the discourse of either ‘intermediality’ or 
‘cross-cultural communication’. We will not only explore the interaction 
between different cultures and languages in world literature, but also 
discuss the intersection between different forms of media, such as 
poetry and visual arts, music and literature, especially the artist 
creations whose inspiration is connected to literary works. The 
conference also plans to invite artists to participate as panellists and 
workshop leaders in the spirit of encouraging the collaboration between 
academia and creative industries.

We are enormously delighted to announce that we have invited 
London-based Turkish artist Merve İşeri to be our keynote speaker, whose 
creation is based on the unique understanding of immigration, 
displacement of identity, cross-cultural experience, and memory. For 
more information about İşeri’s works, please see her website: 
*https://www.merveiseri.com/ <https://www.merveiseri.com/>*

We invite abstracts on the following themes, but are not limited to:

  * Intermediality between visual art, literature, music, film, and beyond.
  * Dialogues between different languages, cultures, and religions.
  * Marginalised narratives in histories and memories.
  * Representation of travel, exile and homecoming.
  * Literature and science.
  * Migration and diaspora studies.
  * The afterlife of literature. Adaptation, translation and publication
    studies.

Abstracts should be 250-300 words. Please send abstracts, along with a 
short bio (around 100 words, including name, email address, academic 
affiliation, research background) to 
*(traversingbeyondborders2024 /at/ gmail.com) by 5pm Monday 22 April, 
2024.* Notification of acceptance will be sent by 3^rd  May, 2024.
