The Harold Pinter Review invites essays that consider the influence and effects that Harold Pinter’s plays have had on modern drama generally, including such aspects as style, staging, subject matter, characterizations, structure, and tone.  We also invite essays that consider the stylistic and thematic relations between Pinter’s work and that of another contemporaneous playwright. 

The process of coming out is often framed as a moment of self-realization, a turning point where individuals gain profound insight into their sexual orientation or gender identity. This panel seeks to explore how literature, film, television, and video games depict the mental, psychological, and emotional processes that LGBT individuals undergo as they recognize and articulate their identities.

Once again we invite you to join us in reflection on the contemporary literary culture. We understand it as an integral part of the global socio-cultural communication with its characteristic infrastructure and a dynamic system of relations between authors and audiences (to refer once more to the foundational principles of Stefan Żółkiewski and the complementary suggestions by Janusz Sławiński1) This time, we are interested in the question of collaboration, cooperation and participation in texts and discourses functioning in contemporary literary culture.

Fermentation and Literature 

Saint Louis University, Madrid Campus

April 24th-25th with optional visit to winery or brewery on Saturday the 26th

The 1516 German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) limited the ingredients of beer to barley, hops, and water. Yet, this restriction overlooks the invisible and essential agent behind fermentation: yeast. Only centuries later was yeast recognized as the microorganism that drives fermentation. Prior to its discovery, fermentation was often attributed to divine or spontaneous forces, with no understanding of the microbiological agents at play.
