[Tom Clark]

****Literary Studies Convention 2015****

University of Wollongong, 7-11 July 2015

This is a joint conference of AAL, ASAL, and AULLA
(Australian Association for Literature, Association for the Study of
Australian Literature and Australasian Universities Languages and
Literature Association)

CALL FOR PAPERS ON THE THEME: "LITERARY NETWORKS"
We invite papers that engage with literature and literary criticism as a
network where a network is understood very broadly as a group or system of
interconnected people or things. Given that this conference seeks to bring
together scholars who work in and between a variety of national
literatures, literary, media and cultural histories, we encourage
submissions that engage with and exemplify the rich variety of critical
and creative practices currently being undertaken under the aegis of
"literary studies" in a contemporary Australian context.

Papers might consider literature's engagement with any of the following:

* Acoustics, aesthetics or the visual
* Affect, emotion or contagion
* Animals, the environment or space/place
* Appetite, consumption or food
* Communities of creative practice
* Communication, technology, transport or trade
* Festivals, public events or publishing
* Film, media, new media or television
* Gender, sexuality or corporeality
* Indigeneity, ethnicity, citizenship or diaspora
* Institutions ­ writers, students or scholars
* Language as spoken and/or written expression
* Neurology, cognition or the body
* Reading, reception or research
