EH-EH: ERNEST HEMINGWAY AND EUSKAL HERRIA

THE HEMINGWAY SOCIETY ANNOUNCES ITS CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE 20TH INTERNATIONAL HEMINGWAY CONFERENCE TO BE HELD JULY 14-20 2024 IN SAN SEBASTIÁN AND BILBAO, SPAIN.

Participants are invited to get to know the people, places, cuisine, and culture of contemporary Euskal Herria—the Basque Country as it is called in the Basque language.

The Hemingway Society invites proposals for papers about any aspect of Hemingway studies, including literary theory and criticism; aesthetics and craft; modernism and modernity; race and ethnicity; class, labor, and work; gender and sexuality; ecocriticism and animal studies; print culture, textual scholarship and book history; material culture and pop culture; travel, tourism, and leisure; influence and intertextuality; disability studies; biography, memoir, and life writing; digital humanities; and other modes of inquiry that add to our understanding of Hemingway. Papers adjacent to Hemingway studies--about Basque art, literature, and culture; Spanish modernism; and about the Spanish Civil War--are very welcome.  

In addition to individual paper proposals, we also invite panel proposals (of up to 4 presenters and a respondent) or proposals for roundtables (groups of 5-6 participants and a moderator giving shorter papers on a common theme or question); pedagogy papers and roundtables; and multimedia or creative arts presentations.  

Please send proposals of about 500 words as well as a brief biographical statement and audio-visual requirements to both Dr. Verna Kale (vlk123@psu.edu) and Dr. Alberto Lena (alena_ord@yahoo.co.uk) by October 31, 2023.

If proposing a fully-formed panel or roundtable, please provide a biographical statement and email address for each presenter. If proposing a multimedia or creative arts presentation please provide a sample of the finished work or representative work from your portfolio in addition to your 500-word proposal and bio.
