Call for Papers Versions of Home: Adapting – Rewriting – Referencing in the Arts

In sum, we are interested in contributions that examine how aesthetic concepts connected to home (and factors that constitute a sense of home and belonging) have played out at specific points in time, have evolved over time, and how they have been adjusted to different historical, geographical, and sociopolitical contexts. At the same time, the conference papers will, ideally, cover a broad range of media-comparative research. We thus invite proposals for papers (max. 20 min) on the topic “Versions of Home: Adapting – Rewriting – Referencing in the Arts.” The conference is intended to promote critical scholarly exchange among various disciplines such as the ones already represented by cluster members but also beyond these fields. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged. Confirmed keynote speakers are Naomi Waltham-Smith (University of Oxford) and Stijn Vervaet (University of Oslo). The conference language will be English. Selected papers will be considered for publication in peer-reviewed conference proceedings. Proposals should include an abstract of the proposed paper (up to 400 words), contact details (including name, email-address, and affiliation) and a short bio (up to 150 words). The organizers are seeking funding. Thus, travel and accommodation expenses will be covered according to available resources. Independent scholars without an affiliation to a university or other research institution as well as early career researchers will be given priority for financial support. Proposals should be submitted by August 31, 2024 via email to interarts@uni-graz.at. Decisions will be communicated until the end of October 2024. For further information on the conference please contact Olaf Terpitz (olaf.terpitz@unigraz.at) or Ingeborg Zechner (ingeborg.zechner@uni-graz.at).
