READING MAPS IN LITERATURE AND THEATRE

Conference 18-19 May 2018

University of Gdańsk.

In 2018, besides theatre performances, meetings with authors, readings, happenings, and film shows, the Between.Pomiędzy International Festival of Literature and Theatre has – as it always does – a strong academic programme. This includes: The University of Gdańsk Samuel Beckett Seminar; and a conference on Reading Maps in Literature and Theatre. The latter consists, among other events, of:

• a discussion of Christian poetry with poet and scholar Michael Edwards of the Académie Française;
• a seminar on Maps with outstanding scholars from Poland and abroad in conversation (e.g. Paweł Potoroczyn and Przemysław Czapliński);
• a seminar discussion on dramatic literature with Piotr Tomaszuk that is co-organised with the Polish Society for the Study of European Romanticism;
• a theatre laboratory Mapping Beckett led by Dr Nicolas Johnson (Trinity College Dublin) and Dr Jonathan Heron (University of Warwick);
• and theatre workshop with Robson Corrêa de Camargo.

We invite all interested to attend these and participate in discussions.
