Call for Papers
We announce our Call for Papers for the International Symposium "Modern Pariahs in 21st Century Latinoamerican and Iberian Fiction", which will be held in Warsow. This symposium aims to analyse the figures of exclusion, in particular the ones Hannah Arendt refers to as modern pariahs, and the dialectics in/out in the Latinoamerican and Iberian cultural production of the 21st Century. The focus of study will be on how emotions are represented and negotiated in current cultural fiction, the narration of marginalisation, the desestabilisation of the categories in/out of in a historical moment marked by border porosity and dramatic migratory flows, extreme precariousness, the reconfiguration of urban space, but also by considering this periphery a space for non-hegemonic opportunity. This symposium is coorganised by ADHUC— Centre de Recerca Teoria, Gènere, Sexualitat together with the research groups GENIA (Uniwersytet Warszawski), CEIIBA (Université Toulouse-Jean-Jaurés), Cos i Textualitat (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), Institut für Romanische Sprachen und Literaturen (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt amb Main) and el Centro de Estudios Galegos de la U. Warszawski.
