Call for papers

Challenging Colonialism and Homogenizing Modernity:
Theory, Methodology and Literary Analysis

Symposium arranged by the Border Poetics Group, University of Tromsø,  
in cooperation with the DINO network (Diversity in Nordic Literature),  
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

Harald Gaski, University of Tromsø
