Knut Hamsun 2009
Transgression, worlding and remediation

Oslo 27 -29 August 2009
Forskningskonferanse i Oslo i 2009 i forbindelse med 150-årsjubileet for Knut Hamsuns fødsel.

Knut Hamsun and his literary universe signal transgression on aesthetic, political and cultural levels – for better and worse. While his aesthetic transgressions secured him a position as one of Scandinavia’s earliest modernist writers, his politically provocative views secured him a position as one of Scandinavia’s problematic literary heroes. Hamsun’s texts have also exceeded national barriers and made their way into so-called world literature. In addition, they have slipped into new media, especially film and theatre.

The subtitle of this conference has been chosen:
1) – to invite lectures and papers on transgression and boundary-breaking in Hamsun’s literature. The topic may be explored thematically and/or formally in his literary fiction. It may also be explored in his non-literary works, in his life as a private and public person, in the handling of his legacy, or in any combination of the above.
2) – to welcome talks on his position in “world literature” as this may come across in literary histories, school text books, etc. Case studies from various countries at various historical periods are relevant. So are translation and influence studies.
3) – to encourage presentations on adaptation/remediation. This may be carried out with a focus on film and theatre adaptations. The topic also includes book history, philology and other relevant topics.

Each of the above descriptions is meant to advance, not limit, potential topics. The overall goal is to inspire innovative research pertaining to Hamsun’s role as a national, postnational and transnational author.

Dette er bare en foreløpig orientering. Call for papers vil komme i august 2008.

The 16th International Strindberg Conference
"Strindberg: Art, Science, Experiment"
B
onn 16 - 18 Oktober 2008

Although literature may be said to have always been at the center of August Strindberg´s artistic universe, the Swedish writer was also constantly observing the other larger and smaller planets orbiting the cosmos of his curiosity: the visual arts, as well as photography, chemistry and alchemy, biology and geology, optics and astronomy. However, while a man of science would have been looking to find answers, Strindberg was more interested in opening up the field to new questions. What distinguished him from a clear-cut scientist, were his often unexpected approaches, his declared subjectivity, and his stunning originality.

The 16th International Strindberg Conference, which will be held in Bonn, aims to explore Strindberg´s wide range of interests further. As its title, "Art, Science, and Experiment", indicates, we want to pay particular attention to correspondences between, on the one hand, the scientific curiosity and the experimental side of Strindberg´s different activities, on the other, his writing. How did Strindberg´s observations and ´sensations´ - to use a key concept from the end of the nineteenth century - contribute to renewing genres and modes of writing? To what extent did Strindberg´s new dramaturgy answer to a world that had come to be regarded as a dynamic world, a world in constant flux? Can his search for similarities and correspondences perhaps be regarded as a counter-reaction to the compulsion of constant (technological and economic) innovation, presenting simultaneously a challenge and a resistance?

At a time when the non-observable - at least to the naked eye - became more and more crucial to any (scientific) explanations and theories of relativity and the unconscious conquered the world, Strindberg seems to have been acutely aware that aesthetics could no longer remain within a state of naivity.

Papers can be given in English, German, or Swedish.
To apply: Fill in the application form; deadline June 14, 2008.
