Doctoral students of the 37th cycle of the PhD programme of Studies in English Literatures, Language and Translation at Sapienza University of Rome and Silesia University at Katowice are launching a call for papers for the graduate forum conference: “After Shock: New Perspectives in Literary Studies and Linguistics”.
In the face of ongoing disasters including the climate crisis, the pandemic, war in Europe and conflicts worldwide, as well as blatant manifestations of social injustice taking place on both a localised and a planetary scale, we might be prone to think that we have reached a capacity of response that is beyond shock, that we have become numb to events that affect us both directly and indirectly. Can literature continue to make felt and bring home the intolerability of everyday events that may otherwise pass without remark? Does our ‘response-ability’ depend on our being shocked, and how is such a response figured in language? Email: aftershock2024@us.edu.pl.
