CFP: Conrad and Art
The works of Joseph Conrad have long inspired artistic adaptation and remediation. The editors invite proposals for a critical description and analysis of the transmedial expressions of Conrad’s work. We are interested in the untravelled spaces of Conrad’s inspiration in the visual arts, film, music, stage and poetry as well as new returns to adaptations that are already familiar to Conradian readers. We encourage proposals that cross cultural and national boundaries and reframe Conrad’s ideas in defamiliazing contexts.
Deadline – May 2021 (closed)
