Opis
In 1764, Horace Walpole wrote what is now recognised as the first Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto. In doing so, he started a literary tradition that would captivate readers for centuries to come. Today, over 260 years later, readers and writers alike still turn to Gothic fiction as an artistic way of exploring fears and insecurities. The Gothic has become a versatile mode of engaging with topics of trauma, identity, memory, technology, ecology, and global culture, among many others. We are honoured to invite you to the conference "The Gothic Labyrinth: Trauma, The Real, and The Unreal". Our panelists and lecturers will present a wide array of topics, from literature to cinema, from philosophy to critical theory, from history to politics, from the past to the future through the present. All in service to understanding the Gothic; and through the Gothic understanding the world. All events take place in room 1.128 at Dobra 55, Warsaw. We ask all panelists to arrive before the opening lectures for registration. Thursday, May 21st 9:15 - 11:15 Opening lecture by dr hab.
