We cordially invite you to participate in a conference “Legal bodies, embodied subjects: (re)contextualizations of physicality”.
“I was, besides, endued with a figure hideously deformed and loathsome; I was not even of the same nature as man. I was more agile than they and could subsist upon coarser diet; I bore the extremes of heat and cold with less injury to my frame; my stature far exceeded theirs. When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?” – Frankenstein, Mary Shelley

4th Re-Examining American Literature Student Symposium (REAL): Call for Papers
The 4th REAL Student Symposium “American Pasts and American Futures in Literature and Culture” seeks to explore the future and the past as concepts, ideals, and ideologies. The United States, as a nation that always looks ahead trying to reinvent itself, enjoys a troubled relationship with both its past and its future. We are interested in ways in which the pasts(s) and the future(s) of America conjured up in literary and cultural texts reflect and comment on the current state and possible developments in the United States.
We cordially invite B.A., M.A. students and doctoral candidates, to submit conference papers (approx. 20-minute presentations) on American literature, theater, film and art.
Deadline for submitting abstracts is January 15, 2023.
