Welcome
The Johns Hopkins German Department presents its 2006 Graduate Student Conference
MAPPING NARRATIVES: Excursions in Limbo
With this conference, "Mapping Narratives," we hope to explore issues dealing with excursions (geographical and visual) taken in texts. We would like to investigate these questions from an interdiscpilnary perspective and invite scholars not only from literary studies, but from a diverse range of disciplines such as geography, sociology, philosophy, history of art and psychology. This topic is one that can only benefit from a wide array of strategies and approaches.
Keynote speakers: Tom Conley, Harvard University; John Zilcosky, University of Toronto
Date and Location: 1. and 2. December, 2006; Baltimore, MD
Contact: Anne Flannery, Ellwood Wiggins mappingnarrative@yahoo.com
