TEXT/SOUND/PERFORMANCE: Making in Canadian Space, 25-27 April 2019
TEXT/SOUND/PERFORMANCE offers a crucial opportunity to engage with the diverse range of innovative work coming out of Canada today. Poetry and experimental performances by Canadians have recently appeared on the front lines of environmental and political activism, at the top of lists for international bestsellers, in partnership with laboratories, on billboards, buses and clothing/textiles, and on social media platforms. This conference is going to feature a keynote address and masterclass seminar on each of the three pillars of the event, alongside panels, roundtables, and performances. We remain open to other forms of engagement, and we encourage variant, nontraditional propositions. The event is scheduled to take place at University College Dublin (UCD), a pivotal space for practitioners, Canadian and Indigenous, to connect with Irish writers, scholars and students, all attuned to experimental and postcolonial modes of writing. We invite proposals that might expand, trouble, decentralize, destabilize, or interrogate literary practices:
