Was held on 06 November 2021 via Zoom
The Conference Programme here
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)

Joseph Conrad Panel at the MLA Convention Seattle (USA) 9-12 January 2020
Conrad and the Senses
The sensory turn of the last decades marks a new direction in literary studies. Informing a wide range of paradigms from biopolitics to poststructuralism, new critical interest in the senses allows us to reconsider Conrad’s writing, to intervene in the commonplaces of traditional criticism, and to expand our investigation of the way in which the senses inform the stylistic and thematic aspects of his poetics. Any form of engagement with the significance and articulation of the senses is welcome.

It forms part of a series of events celebrating writerly culture and experience in the city of Toulon, where Ford spent time in the 1920s and 1930s.
