We welcome presentations that address the following types of questions:How do the representations and definitions of a type (or group of related types) vary from one national context to another? How do different collections, periodicals or editorial contexts inflect a type in different ways?How do visual representations of a type differ from one another or from literary representations of the same figure?How does the type transform as it is taken up in other genres, registers or types of discourse?Does the type exist in a system? Does it belong to a collection or series of types and if so, how does it relate to or interact with other types in the system? How do different collections position the type within their systems?In short, we invite each participant to choose a type (or group of related types) and to trace how it shifts or remains the same across different contexts and in relation to different co-texts. Presentations that explore less known types are particularly welcome.The longterm goal of this project is to publish an edited volume exploring these issues. It is our hope that the combined insights of the seminar will allow us to draw a series of general reflections about how portrayals of types shift across contexts, borders and media.We would like to invite expressions of interest in the form of a short abstract (of around 300 words in English or French) describing your idea. Please submit your idea to Leonoor Kuijk at l.kuijk@ugent.be by October 1, 2015.El plazo de entrega de artículos completos es el 15 de marzo de 2016.
