WORLD LITERATURE AND INTERMEDIALITY (13 and 14 March 2025)

I will give a paper "Packaging Japan: Paratexts for English Translations of Japanese Literature" at the World Literature and Intermediality symposium at the University of Edinburgh on 13 March 2025.

In this second joint workshop of the research partnerships in intermedial studies between the University of Edinburgh and Meiji University (Tokyo, Japan), Linnaeus University (Sweden) and Aix-Marseille University (France), we wish to investigate the shared theoretical concerns between these two areas, renegotiating text-based approaches to World Literature with methods developed to study the intersections between other art forms.

Also, this event will mark the launch of the new EUP book series “Edinburgh Critical Studies in World Literature and Intermediality”, which shares the key aims of the workshop.
