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

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

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.
