Style in Theory / Styling Theory

Inaugural Event, International Literary Criticism and Theory Conference Series

University of Malta

26-28 November, 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS

The conference discusses the concept of style and its place in theory both from historical and systematic points of view, including the relations and tensions between philosophy, literature, and theory with regard to the question of style.

Among the issues that might be explored are:

• What, in theory, is style?

• What is the role and place of style(s) in theory, in the writing practice of theory?

• Is theory style, and is this the same thing as saying it is stylized?

• Has theory gone out of style, never (or about) to return?

• Can theory be restyled?

• Style, in theory – is that the question of theory, and of theory’s future in the age of new media?

Brief abstracts for papers should be sent in via e-mail by 30 June 2009.

Organizers: Ivan Callus, James Corby, Gloria Lauri-Lucente.
