Literatura hispanoamericana, Literatura del siglo XX, Narrativa

In the last years critics have been paying an ever-increasing attention to the works of Roberto Bolaño. His reflections on evil, violence, political horror, and issues of memory and trauma, have consolidated as relevant topics in the study of his work. Their pressing character, however, has arguably made critics withdraw from attending to the role of humour and comicality in Bolaño, which has not been thoroughly analysed. Yet Bolaño openly laughed, both in his fiction and his interviews, at every element of the institution of literature: at writers' aspiration to literary immortality, at the writer's complacency with the market, at the 'commitment' of writers from either left or right, and also at literary critics. There is a suspicion that something terribly serious and still unknown awaits critics from behind Bolaño's humour, and it is precisely that suspicion that this panel wishes to address. We invite papers that explore Bolaño's humour directly or through the way in which existing studies have prevented a lighter approach to his works. Also, papers that look at the relation between horror and humour in his narrative, and at the use of humour as a tool for bringing to light dark realities; and papers that consider irony, sarcasm, parody and the formal and structural artifices Bolaño used humorously. Finally, this panel also aims at discovering further intertextual relations in the works of Bolaño, either with other masters of humour such as Georges Perec or with writers and texts that he mocked.ConvenorsKristina Pla Fernandez (Manchester University) Franco Pesce (University of Cambridge) Benjamin Loy (University of Cologne)SubmissionsPlease submit your paper before November 22 using the following link:[www.nomadit.co.uk/slas/slas2014/paperproposal.php5?PanelID=2675]Contacto:Kristina Pla FernandezCorreo e.: kristina.plafernandez@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk

La Península Ibérica es cada vez más diversa, más multilingüe, más multicultural y también más compleja. Este hecho tiene notables consecuencias en el ámbito de las lenguas, la literatura, las artes y todo tipo de manifestaciones culturales y, al mismo tiempo, ha conllevado un cambio de paradigma en el estudio de las sociedades. Los efectos colaterales del actual contexto de recesión económica en los territorios que conforman la Península Ibérica representan un reto en todo lo que respecta a la gestión de esta diversidad. En esta dimensión, la reflexión crítica sobre estas sociedades se impone con una nueva urgencia.En el XVI Foro de Estudios Ibéricos se abordarán esos ejes de plena vigencia desde distintas perspectivas, siempre con el denominador común del estudio de la diversidad:- Multilingüismo y diversidad lingüística - Lenguas en contacto y variación lingüística- Ideologías y actitudes lingüísticas- Política y planificación lingüística- Enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas- Traducción, interpretación y mediación- Sociopragmática comparativa- Culturas en transformación- Pertenencias transculturales, pertenencias múltiples y complejas, construcción de identidades- Literatura y multiculturalismo- Escritura y migraciones

Shifting to local studies, new questions arise. What was the cultural significance of violence and the law in specific regions? Were these meanings specific to differing social groups and did they change across time? Was interpersonal violence necessarily incompatible with local perceptions of civilised behaviour? What can the study of these communities add to anthropological debates over relations between local cultures and systems of universal values? We want to encourage interaction and discussion of violence as a source of social and political power, and as an aspect of culturally relative interpersonal relations. Confirmed speakers: Prof Andy Wood, Prof Peter King, Prof Patricia Skinner and Dr Joanne Bailey. We welcome proposed papers that deal with one or more of the following issues: -domestic violence -gendered experience of violence -violence and the state -violence and ethnicity -geographies of homicide -comparative histories of criminal justice reform -public perceptions of violent crime and punishment -the emotions of violence -trauma and memories of violence and conflict We hope that this call for papers will be answered both by historians but also by researchers in other disciplines who deal with these questions. Although our main focus will be Europe, papers presenting comparative studies from other regions are also sought. Proposals for papers of approximately 300 words should be sent to simon.sandall@winchester.ac.uk before 30 March 2013, accompanied by short biographical details.

Call for PapersWhat can we learn from the way that violent behaviour is experienced and perceived in European culture? This interdisciplinary conference invites discussion over the nature of violence in differing times and places. The aim is to not only bring together historians of different periods, but also to promote dialogue across a range of disciplines concerned with the study of violence in the modern world. What can comparative historical studies add to these debates, and how can historians benefit from the work of criminologists, anthropologists and sociologists in return? How can the study of acts of violence, both past and present, challenge or support modern claims of humanity and progress? Can we account for the dramatic historical decline in homicide rates in some parts of the world, or their persistence in others? A lot of valuable work has examined how gender affects experience of violent crime, as both offender and victim. We will also consider the role of brutality in oppressive regimes or industrial systems, while the centralized containment of violence and ‘civilising processes’ are integral to narratives of modern state formation.
