EMBODYING ROMANTICISM
CALL FOR PAPERS
Although the body has preoccupied literary scholarship for some time, there has
been a renewed attention in Romantic studies to the complex ways in which literature
encodes and reproduces our awareness of embodied experience. Challenging views

a reorientation of criticism around the materiality of Romantic culture, whether

Is poetry a space where cultures and languages clash with one another, or does the expression effect a reconciliation?
THE KUM INTERNATIONAL ELT CONVENTION
The European reformations meant major changes in theology, religion, and everyday life. Some changes were immediate and visible in a number of countries: monasteries were dissolved, new liturgies were introduced, and married pastors were ordained, other more hidden.
Textual (re)presentations or (discursive) 'constructions' of globalization cannot avoid operating via linguistic tropes – in literature as well as in other textual modes. The "rhétorique restreinte" (Gérard Genette) in contemporary literary and cultural studies tends to privilege metaphor, applying the term even for tropological relations obviously not based on similarity. As a countermove to this simplification, our conference proposes to revisit the rhetoric tradition in order to develop a more differentiated set of descriptions for the (re)presentations of an earth-encompassing world.
