2023 Conference

East Asian Studies

Deadline: April 30, 2023

Event Dates: Friday-Sunday, 6-8, October 2023 

Location: DePaul University, Chicago, IL (in-person)

Literary theory has contributed towards the recovery of marginalised narratives and discourses in literature during the last three decades. The word, ‘minor’ has acquired a resonance of its own in the context of ‘national’ literature which tends to be part of a ‘great tradition’. Against such a background, the recovery of diverse indigenous traditions has become an important task of comparative studies of literature. Nations emerged as ‘imagined’ communities. However, nation-states were not ‘imagined’ in the crucible of prolonged struggles of anti-colonial resistance in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but were born of the political exigencies of imperial powers.

Online Conference Date: TBA

Registration is free to attend.

Building upon and developing ideas and themes of the previous successful conferences, Celebrating Crime Fiction will consider and reflect upon the growing interest in Crime Fiction scholarship over the past decade.
