Meeting Description:
The Department of English Language and
Literature, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Sarajevo, is pleased to announce
its 3rd International Conference on English Language, Literature, Teaching and
Translation Studies (CELLTTS) which will take place on September 28-29, 2018. For
the third time we invite scholars and experts in their respective fields of research
to Sarajevo to present and discuss their research findings and exchange experience
and ideas with their colleagues from the region and the world.
This year's
conference topic is ''Living, Reading, Teaching and Translating in a World Dominated
by the Culture of War and War of Cultures''.
International Conference on
English Language, Literature, Teaching and Translation Studies (CELLTTS) is intended
to mark the metaphorical rebirth of the English Department, University of Sarajevo,
as it will hopefully get to be known as the meeting point of cultural and scholarly
encounters of friends and colleagues.
Call for Papers:
''Living,
Reading, Teaching and Translating in a World Dominated by the Culture of War and War
of Cultures''
The approaching Centenary (1918-2018) of the Armistice which
ended the First World War sadly reminds us that peace is an empty signifier, a
phantom or a beautiful illusion that remains out of reach. The past hundred years of
violent conflicts have changed the world we live in out of recognition, while the
discourse of conflict has become firmly entrenched even within academia in the form
of the so called ''culture wars'' fought in the various branches of the humanities.
Why do humanities matter in a world in which the label ''post-conflict'' has become
a synonym for peace? What is the role of media in times of war and post-war
transition? What is it like to teach (English) language/literature/history/culture
in a post-conflict society? How is war represented in literature? What are the ways
to study language as the site and reflection of wars, agony and revolutions? How can
trauma studies and a culture of remembrance help us understand and accept what was
meant to be suppressed and unacknowledged? Finally, how are we to cope with the
challenge of living the humanities in time of wars?
It is these and related
topics that we intend to examine as closely as possible at this year's conference
and we invite researchers and scholars working in the broad area of Anglo-American
studies to submit abstracts for oral presentations.
The conference language
is English. The presenters are required to restrict their presentations to 15
minutes.
