first call for papers
LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, THEORY
Conference
On behalf of the LLT Organising Committee, it is our pleasure to send you the first Call for Papers containing information on the forthcoming multidisciplinary Language, Literature, Theory conference, organized by the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš, which will be held on 27th and 28th April, in 2018.
This time, we focus our attention on theory, the term that can be regarded to subsume all the topics discussed in the previous years as it is deeply intrinsic to all domains of research. In that sense, both language and literature are associated with theory. Language can be studied from different theoretical perspectives; linguistic theories and hypotheses are tested in theoretical and empirical research, validated or refuted, yet always aimed at accumulating knowledge and generating new ideas about how language works. Furthermore, literature and theory pursue the same goals: they both explore and make sense of the complexities of our life and phenomena we barely or do not understand. Literature faces the most difficult questions we can ask, and invites us to reflect and re-examine the questions it addresses, suggesting its openness to critical evaluation.
In this regard, the aim of the conference Language, Literature, Theory is to reflect and examine the relation between theory, language and literature in an open way. This means focusing on various topics, such as examining theoretical approaches to linguistics and literary studies, studying the relation between literary theory and criticism, empirical testing of theories, critical evaluation of both theory and empirical research, meta-theoretical considerations.
Conference languages are English and Serbian, for 15-minute presentations followed by 5 minute discussion time.
