V International Gothic Congress
‘Gothic Plurality’
During the last years, Gothic Literature has just begun to be accepted as a literary field worth of study among Mexican scholars. The doors remain open to deepen into the study of a style whose manifestations go beyond the barriers represented by time, culture, genre, and art modes.
Objetive: After the great response received in the previous Gothic Congresses (2008 - 2011), this time the aim is to keep encouraging the interest in the Gothic among both students and scholars at the UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) and other Mexican institutions. To achieve this, we propose to start from the study of the plural presence of the Gothic in various modes of art , as well as time and space contexts.
Dates: March 26, 27 & 28, 2012 (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday).
Place: Salón de Actos I, Faculty of Philosophy and Literature (FFyL), UNAM (Nacional Autonomous University of Mexico), Mexico City.
Call for Papers: We are calling for papers centered upon the idea of the Gothic as a timeless and intertextual plural phenomenon in arts.
Other Possible topics:
. History and evolution of Gothic Literature
. Gothic elements in Mexican and Latin-American Literature
. National Gothic Literatures (British Gothic, Scottish Gothic, American Gothic,
etc.)
. Gothic Literature and Postmodernism
. The future of Gothic Literature
. Gothic in Film and Art
