The graduate students of the department of Hispanic Studies at the University of California, Riverside invite individual papers or panels for our conference "Dialogando con la literatura: convergencia mediática y su expresión escrita," being held on Saturday, April 16, 2011.
The impact of technology and new media in everyday life is changing the ways in which literary expression is being produced in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Iberian Peninsula. However, the influence of interdisciplinary arts is not a novelty as we can track the presence of musical aesthetics and rhythm in classical poetry and the novel. In addition, technical developments in plastic arts, such as photography, clearly reshaped some of the most important realist works. Nowadays, technology has abandoned the private realm and can be found in public speech as well as day to day practices, changing our environment and ecology. There are various discourses that examine how these technologies are being reflected in art creating intimate expressions in writing. Part of these discourses include, but are not limited to:
Music influence in written structures
Plastic arts reshaped into literary aesthetics
Film and other visual media embedded in the written discourse
E-writing and hypertext novel
Mediatic and transmedia productions
We encourage panels or papers related to linguistics, literature, transatlantic studies, performance studies, film and video, Chicano/a studies, ethnic and indigenous studies, religious studies, gender studies and queer studies. Papers may use an interdisciplinary approach to the arts, issues of gender, and conceptions of identity. Presentations can be in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
Abstracts should be submitted in Microsoft Word format (.docx/ .doc) and should not exceed 250 words in length. The e-mail. should include the title of the presentation, the name and institutional affiliation, and phone number. Presentations should not exceed eight pages (20 minutes in reading length).
Abstracts and questions may be sent by e-mail to:

Deadline for Submissions: Friday, February 11, 2011
Committee members: Enrique Salas Durazo (President), Luz María Landeros, Alexandra Saum-Pascual, Karen Pérez, Noé Ruvalcaba, Suria Ceja and Brian Fox (Treasures)
