LITERATURE & ETC

By proposing an anthropological reading of the world, similarly to what happens with other artistic manifestations, literature represents a privileged space of dialogue between the individual and the world, giving him the possibility to objectify fears, discuss enigmas and share wonders. Since the dialogic nature of literature is grounded in the transversality of reading, it is crucial to encourage the dissolution of boundaries cutting off the academic context, where the study of literature typically takes place, from the experience of reading which is carried out beyond university walls, providing the common reader with a fresh outlook on his own dialogue with the world (and the world of literature). 

The project entitled «Literature & Etc.» concerning a variety of topics which may help readers rethink their dialogue with the world through the lens of literature (i.e. Literature and God, Literature and Music, Literature and Politics…). You are encouraged to submit papers with that approach.
