The 8th Annual Graduate Student Conference:
The Poetics and Politics of Love
The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Miami is pleased to announce its annual graduate student conference, “The Poetics and Politics of Love,” to be held March 5 -6, 2010. The poetics and politics of love refer to representations of concrete social relations that function as allegories for complex cultural imaginaries. The goal of the conference is to examine and debate the multiple uses of such representations from the perspective of different theoretical, historical, and cultural approaches in Spanish, Latin American and Francophone literatures, films, and other cultural texts from all periods. Abstracts for presentation will be accepted in French, Spanish, Portuguese and English. The group of themes presented below form part of the variants that we consider most representative of the poetics and politics of love:
• Manifestations of love across different periods
• Languages of love: Metaphorical expressions of love at the crossroads of politics and aesthetics
• Textual desires: Desire as a means of creation
• Love, nation, race, gender and sex: Desire for national identities
• Intimate memory/Intimate knowledge: Erotics of nostalgia and/or melancholy
• Love, lust and discourses of power: Old and new imaginaries
• Traveling desire: Love, violence and migration
• Transnationalism and global households/families
• Homosocial vs. homosexual: Locating the erotic in queer dialogues
• Definitions of love: Philosophical or sociological explorations on the evolution of the concept
Proposals should include a 250-word abstract and title, as well as the author’s name, address, and institutional affiliation. Please submit abstracts via email to: mllconference2010@gmail.com by January 15, 2010. Acceptance of proposals for presentation will be communicated via e-mail no later than February 1, 2010. Each conference attendee is required to pay a registration fee of $40.00.
Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Patrick O’Connor
Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies, and
Chair of the Comparative Literature Department
Oberlin College
