Conference: Reception, Production, Exchange
Conference organised by the Australasian Universities Languages & Literature Association (AULLA)
and Australian Reception Network (ARN)
9th-11th December
University of Wollongong.

Call for papers out now. Due Monday 29th April.

Texts live only by being read, yet in being read, they are also transformed. Texts may be read closely or distantly, critically or uncritically, deeply or hyperly, fast or slowly; for pleasure, profit, or piety; on the beach, in the library, or in the university classroom. Texts can have long afterlives, travelling far in time and space on circuits of communication and exchange. They can be given new life in new contexts of reception, interpretation, translation, or adaptation

This conference examines the ways in which texts (both literary and otherwise) are produced, exchanged, and received.

We encourage papers with a focus on engaged studies and discussions of teaching practice and of critical/exegetical responses to creative practice.Papers that respond to reception, production, and exchange in the fields of languages and translation studies; the literary study of languages other than English; and philosophical approaches to cultural expression, are expressly welcome. We also expressly welcome interdisciplinary angles on the theme, such as Cultural Studies, Indigenous Studies, Postcolonial Studies, ethnography, sociology of reading, History of the Book, studies in orality or performance, and comparative approaches. 

The organisers welcome submissions for individual presentations of 20 minutes and panel sessions of 90 minutes.

Submissions received by Monday 29th April 2019 will be considered by the committee and outcomes will be announced by Monday 13th May 2019, to enable funding applications to be made in good time. All submissions are due by Monday 30th September 2019, and the program will be published in early November.

Submissions should include: name/s of author/s (including affiliations), title of presentation, an abstract of up to 200 words, and a biographical note of up to 50 words per author. Panel submissions should also include a short description of the panel theme (up to 150 words), in addition to titles, abstracts, and biographical notes for all papers.

Submissions should be emailed to aulla-conference at uow.edu.au.
