Challenging Colonialism and Homogenizing Modernity:
Theory, Methodology and Literary Analysis
 
 
Symposium arranged by the Border Poetics Group, University of Tromsø
(http://uit.no/borderpoetics), in cooperation with the Dino network
(Diversity in Nordic Literature, http://www.multietn.uu.se/
<http://www.multietn.uu.se/>   - click on ³Dino²), University of Tromsø, 6-9
October 2010
 
 
The organizers welcome paper proposals (title and abstract of ca 200 words +
ca five keywords) which explore transformations of the present-day literary
landscapes of the Nordic countries as they relate to ethnic and linguistic
diversity, changing notions of gender and sexuality, migration and diaspora,
as well as to histories of colonialism and homogenizing modernity. We
particularly welcome contributions which investigate theoretical
perspectives and methodologies which may be deployed in the analysis of
emerging Nordic literatures which challenge established notions of identity,
nationality and/or gender. Intersections of ethnicity/race, linguistic
pluralism, senses of place/belonging, border experiences, world
views/religions, regionalism, Europeanization and globalization are relevant
themes for exploration in workshops.  We also welcome analyses of various
aspects of diversity in Nordic literatures. The deadline for paper proposals
is 1 June, 2010. Please mail proposals with your name and institutional
affiliation to: anne.heith at uit.no <mailto:anne.heith at uit.no>
