PRE-PROGRAMME CALL FOR PAPERS

THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
ANNOUNCES
"JOURNEES D'ETUDES JEAN MUNO"

 The "Centre de Recherches Francophones Belges" of the University of
Edinburgh provides the opportunity to exchange ideas and to address
issues dealing with Belgian culture, literature and the arts.

The object of our two-day conference (26-27 September 1997) will be to
continue promoting Francophone Belgian literature through the analysis
and discussion of the oeuvre of Jean MUNO.

Jean Muno (1924-1988) wrote novels, folktales, short stories, theatre
and radio plays and is a excellent representative of his time and
country. He is both innovative and imaginative in his use of language
and original in his choice of themes. We could describe him as an
equally talented Belgian version of Queneau or Vian.

The conference is open to anyone interested in La Francophonie and
will include papers given by speakers from Belgium and the UK.

The debate need not be restricted to Muno but can also encompass a
wide variety of topics which are of interest to the reader of Muno and
to Muno himself, such as lINGUISTICS, stylistics, semiology, magic
realism, humour etc. as well as theoretical and practical studies of
modern Francophone literature.

Those wishing to present a paper are requested to send a 1-page
abstract (along with a brief personal data sheet giving the
presenter's name, position and affiliation), as soon as possible and
in any case no later than the absolute closing date of Monday 31 March
1997. The abstract can helpfully give a description of the theoretical
framework, the method, hypotheses and findings to be presented in the
paper.
