Appel à contributions: Symposium international sur l’exposition du livre et de la littérature

17 & 18 juillet 2023, University of Manchester

Susana Sanchez-Gonzalez (University of Manchester), Camille Van Vyve (Université Libre de Bruxelles) & Sanna-Mari Niemi (University of Helsinki) organisent un symposium international sur l’exposition du livre et de la littérature qui se tiendra à l’Université de Manchester.

Keynote speaker: Prof. Emilie Sitzia

“The multimodal and multifaceted ways in which books and literature may be exploited in exhibitions has captured the attention of scholars from a variety of disciplines: from museum and curatorial studies to literary criticism, art history, communication and media studies, sociology, history, and reception studies as well as educational sciences and material culture scholarship. Although this wide-ranging interdisciplinary approach is testimony to the richness and singularity of books and literature as exhibition material, it also highlights the scattered ways in which this research has been conducted thus far. As a result, we are hard pressed to find a single source of theoretical and methodological frameworks whereupon we may build a dedicated museology of the book. This museology would seek to bring together analytical reflections on the book as exhibition object but also strands of academic research concerned with the use of literature as exhibition subject and with the exhibition space as a medium for literary explorations.

With this aim in mind, we are inviting contributions for a two-day graduate student symposium on the study of books and literature in exhibitions which will be held in hybrid format at the University of Manchester (UK) in July 2023. The symposium has been organised in collaboration with PhD candidates from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, the University of Helsinki, and the Institute for Cultural Practices at the University of Manchester.   

In organising this symposium, we seek to:

  • provide a platform for students at any stage of their research to present and discuss their investigations to fellow students in a friendly and constructive atmosphere 
  • bring together individuals who share an interest in this field, kickstarting conversations on potential collaboration projects and the formation of other interest-based networks within the community
  • build a body of academic resources for future reference.”

L’appel à contributions, destiné aux doctorant.e.s, est prolongé jusqu’au 27 février 2023.
