Writing and Style: A Comparative Approach - 3 March 2012
The Comparative Literature Association of Ireland announces a one-day workshop to be held on the Belfast Campus of the University of Ulster.
Novels start with a catchy in medias res paragraph and short stories end with plot twists...
Plots unravel through flashback scenes and characters through dialogues, interior monologues and stream of consciousness...
Sentence structure, word choice and tone lead to the creation of placid, unsettling and surreal ambiences, realist and speculative dialogues, and falling actions...
This CLAI workshop for senior researches seeks contributions that explore how authors? writing style reveals their cultural preferences and state of mind. Their techniques can also help us understand the way in which they analyze their readings and develop their writing idiosyncrasies. Contact Dr Victoria Ríos Castaño (v.rios-castano@ulster.ac.uk) for information.

CLAI First Postgraduate Symposium held in 2008
The Comparative Literature Association of Ireland (CLAI) held its First Postgraduate Symposium at Dublin City University (School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies) on Saturday, November 29 (following the national launch of CLAI at the Royal Irish Academy on Friday, November 28). There was a wide and varied programme of papers.
Through its First Postgraduate Symposium, CLAI aimed to address the current state of Postgraduate Studies in Ireland. We gathered new researchers in the field of Comparative Literature, offering them the opportunity to present their current research. The aim was to explore the latest theoretical and methodological practices , provide a supportive environment for those new to presenting conference papers and, last but not least, provide a lively and stimulating platform.
The conference was open not only to the broad community of postgraduate students in Comparative Literature, but also to all those who may be considering engaging in study or research in the field. A poster session allowed third-level institutions and research centres to present their various programmes and projects. Presentations, in English, lasted 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for discussion. PowerPoint facilities were available.
More than two dozen proposals were received by the deadline of Friday November 7, 2008. Papers dealt with many aspects of Comparative Literature. Abstracts in English were included in the final programme announcement, with title, abstract, institution, email address and keywords.
The organizing committee was: brigitte.lejuez@dcu.ie, jean-philippe.imbert@dcu.ie and bevin.doyle25@mail.dcu.ie, Proceedings were considered for an online publication on the CLAI website (www.complit.org ). >>>>VERSIONE ITALIANA DELL'INVITO ALLA PARTECIPAZIONE<<<<.
