First Circular
Dear Students,
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of
the founding of our Department we would like to provide a space for academic
discussion for all interested in the current state and prospects of English
philology. Therefore, we would like to
invite you to our conference “Old Masters in New Interpretation” which is
organized to accompany the sessions of the “Between Clarity and Confusion:
Delusions of Academic Objectivity” conference.
We believe that the scholars at the
beginning of their academic career already have many pertinent reflections –
they are educated in critical time for academia, the time marked rather with
question marks than full stops. Therefore, their research will most probably be
a new interpretation of the old educational paradigm. We are particularly
interested in your perception of the
canonical texts of culture. Who are Old Masters? Are contemporary works of art
influenced by them? Is it possible to create 'new classics' without the
reference to the established conventions? These basic questions remain open and
serve as a starting point for stimulating discussion. We would like to invite you to this vibrant
intellectual exchange. We welcome young researchers representing various fields
of humanities since we aim at an interdisciplinary approach in an international
company.
We have gathered a few topic suggestions and/or
deliberately vague ideas already, hoping to inspire you. The potential is
definitely there.
- The concept of a master now and
then
- When a master becomes old?
- Immortal authors - intertextual adventures of canonical texts
- Masters of literature in literature, cinema and other medi
- Translation or re-reading
- History of art or Art of history
- Old Masters in education – challenges, possibilities, reflections
- Film footage, ready makes – the crisis of creativity?
- Chronology and methodology – how to study old Masters now and how to teach them in the future
You are very welcome to add more.
