Fractured Images / Broken Words: 12th June 2010

Call for Conference Papers

In addition to our annual in-house post-graduate conference, the Department of English and Creative Writing will be hosting a large-scale post-graduate conference this year: Fractured Images / Broken Words

The organisers will be welcoming submissions from post-graduate students from any institution, working in any discipline or field related to the conference themes.  See also news of this event posted in our online postgraduate journal, The Luminary.

Keynote Speakers will be Professor Terry Eagleton, of Lancaster University and Andy Diggle, comic-book writer and former editor of 2000 AD.  The conference will feature art installations by Christine Dawson.

Call for Papers

Visual and multi-modal texts are an integral element of both popular and literary culture, contemporary and past. This conference invites papers which engage with the notion of text and image, through, for example critical examination of graphic novels, television, film, illustrated texts or adaptations. We actively welcome papers with an interdisciplinary approach, allowing for a collision of meaning and interpretations of both text and image. See the full Call for Papers on the website of The Luminary.
