GENERAL PROGRAM

XVIIIth CONGRESS OF THE ICLA


Rio de Janeiro, July 29-August 4, 2007

INTRODUCTION

Based on the international and itinerant spirit of the ICLA, which has sought to integrate scholars from all regions of the world, as can be noted by the realization of its triennial Conferences hosted by a different university, in a different country and, whenever possible, on a distinct continent, we have proposed the city of Rio de Janeiro and, in especial, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) as the official conference site for the XVIIIth ICLA Congress, to be held from July 29 through August 5, 2007. Studies in Comparative Literature were already existent in Brazil since the first half of the 20th century, having been fully developed by Brazilian exponents of Literary Criticism such as Antonio Candido, Afrnio Coutinho, Eugnio Gomes, Augusto Meyer, Tasso da Silveira, Haroldo de Campos, and many more. However, the great surge in the discipline has occurred in the last decades: first, with the shift of literary studies from the journalist milieu to academia; and then with the founding of the Brazilian Comparative Literature Association (ABRALIC), in 1986. The idea for a national Comparative Literature Association was conceived by a small group of Brazilian scholars present at the XIth Congress, in Paris, hosted by Sorbonne Nouvelle University, in 1985. The following year, ABRALIC was founded in the city of Porto Alegre, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, having as its first president Dr. Tania Franco Carvalhal. The ABRALIC currently boasts over two thousand members among scholars and literary researchers from all over the country, and it has had an important role in encouraging the creation of new graduate courses in the area. Among the many activities developed by ABRALIC in the twenty years since its foundation, it is important to mention its ten International Conferences, which enjoyed immense repercussion, as well as the publication of the respective Conference Proceedings, considered works of reference to the field of Comparative Literature in Brazil. Other activities worthy of note are the organization of numerous colloquia and seminars, and the creation of two fundamental means of divulging the Association: Contraponto, the ABRALIC newsletter and the Revista Brasileira de Literatura Comparada (Brazilian Review of Comparative Literature), currently in its nineth issue. In addition, ABRALIC has inspired the creation and development of other similar

Associations in Latin America, such as the Argentinean, the Uruguayan and the Peruvian Comparative Literature Associations. Since the idea of integration is at the basis of our objectives, the Organizing Committee is being composed of representative scholars from the main universities in the state of Rio de Janeirothe Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UFF) and the Federal University of the City of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO)which are collaborating towards structuring the conference, from the creation of the central theme and distribution of sections and symposia to the constitution of a basic infrastructure for the realization of the event. All these universities form, along with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, a network of scholars whose main objective is to increase the dissemination of Comparative Literature in Brazil, as well as of Brazilian literature and culture to the rest of the world.

General Theme:

BEYOND BINARISMS: DISCONTINUITIES AND DISPLACEMENTS IN COMPARATIVE LITERATURE

Comparative Literature Studies have undergone significant transformations on account of the new currents of thought which dominated the Western world in the second half of the 20th century. Many comparatists have largely abandoned their previous attempts at the construction of a universal poetics and have become conscious of the discursive and historical character of their discipline. The gaze which guided traditional comparativism has been descentered and comparatists have explicitly assumed their locus of enunciation. The aura which involved the literary object has been questioned and other types of literary and aesthetic expressions so far excluded from the mainstream of comparativism have come to be taken into account. The traditional axis of comparative studies have become permeable to other voices, coming from previously neglected places and groups whose production was considered secondary or irrelevant. The binary schema which for so long prevailed within the core of comparative studies has been revalued and its excluding character has often been replaced by an inclusive view that has come to consider alternative forms of expression and to recognize their differences. The XVIIIth Congress of the ICLA is intended to be a forum of debate for these questions. Its main goal is to rethink the role of comparativism at the beginning of the 21st century and to investigate the conflicts the discipline has had to face and the paths it has been following in its diverse forms.

SECTION 1 COMPARATIVISMS: ROOTS AND ROUTES


Comparativism has been a complex, shifting and frequently contradictory field. Literature is increasingly characterized as a privileged locus for reflection, through its affinities with theories that take into consideration different contexts of displacementgeographical, economic, political, racial, ethnic and genderedwhich have contributed to the critical construction of our contemporary world, such as feminism, deconstruction, post-colonialism, postmodernism, political culture, studies on exile, migrations and transits, etc. This section proposes a view of Comparative Literature which explores these affinities.

WORKSHOP The East Asian and South American Comparative Literature


Organizer: Kenichi Kamigaito East Asia and South America are located just on the opposite side of our planet Earth. However, we find out a certain number of subjects for Comparative Studies between these two cultural zones. This workshop is organized to explore and measure the possibilities of Comparative Studies between these geographically most separated two cultural zones. First of all, South American native people are by race Mongols, who came from the Asian Continent in the pre-historic age. Some of their basic literary elements, such as myths, folk tales and proverbs have many things in common. Our first axis of comparison will be myths, folk tales and proverbs. The second basic aspect for East Asian / South American Comparative Studies is the Portuguese expansion throughout the world. Portuguese was the most important Western language in 16th century East Asia. Many documents were produced in Portuguese, such as reports on the cultural and social situation in East Asia. By analyzing these documents, we may find out what is common or different in the native peoples understanding of, and their response to, the Western civilization or Christianity. Our third axis of comparison are the patterns of traditional society, especially their mixture of indigenous and newly developed religion expressions, such as Catholicism and Neo-Confucianism. In addition to this, we compare and analyze the traditional literary canons of East Asia and South America. In modern times, East Asia and South American literatures have been greatly influenced and inspired by Western European notions, such as Romanticism, Naturalism, Symbolism, Modernism, Post-Modernism and so on. By using these Western European literary notions, we compare every phase of modern and contemporary literature of East Asia and South America. In the 20th century, East Asia and South America have begun a mutual process of population and intercultural exchange. The most remarkable example of this exchange is the East Asian immigrants literature in South America, especially in Brazil. In the post war period, South American social and revolutionary movements began to inspire East Asian intellectuals. Japanese students worshipped Che Guevara as their revolutionary idol, and Korean intellectuals had long discussions about Liberation Theology and Desencantado during and after their democratic movement. The subjects of comparison we offer here are still tentative; yet we hope we are now cultivating a new field and opening up a new horizon for truly worldwide Comparative Literature.

SECTION 2

CRITICAL DISCOURSES AND THE ROLE OF THE INTELLECTUAL


The discourses of Literary Theory, Criticism and Historiography have undergone a process of contextualization in the second half of the 20th century and their own condition of constructs has been made explicit. Theory has abandoned its totalizing character, its yearning for the construction of universal models applicable to every context, and has come to be seen more as a reflection on the literary phenomenon. Criticism has left aside any notion of a fixed system of values and has assumed its historical condition. Finally, Historiography has replaced some of its basic principles, such as the notions of progression and linearity, by more flexible concepts, and has come to take into account both the context of production and that of reception of literary works. This section is intended to discuss the transformations which the above discourses have undergone and the role of the intellectual as a mediator between the writer and the reading public.

WORKSHOP Real-World Practices and Institutions of Comparative Literature, and Envisioning the Future of the Discipline.
Organizer: Gerald Gillespie The workshop will strive to build on views and activities of self-identified comparatists over the most recent decades. But it will encourage more than reports that only mirror contents in various programs labeled Comparative Literature. Instead, it will encourage evaluative critiques of actual trends and institutions and forward-looking proposals for new directions and remedial efforts. Attention will be direceted at assessing in how far the real world practices in various major and minor programs around the globe are helping to advance, or in certain ways impeding, the development of a vigorous discipline at the international level where ICLA strives to excel. The workshop is not intended as a vehicle for a variety of performative exhibitions in which adherents reiterate the established ideologies or schools or approaches which have been prominent in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Rather, it is intended as a place for a rigorous debate about first principles, of well-thought rejections of established ideologies or schools or approaches of recent decades. We hope to hear trenchant criticisms of reigning attitudes and of inadequate institutions. These criticisms should maintain a high level of civility but speakers or interveners should not mask their searching analyses in order to spare the feelings of sectors within ICLAs (happily!) quite diverse membership who might perhaps be surprised or feel discomforted.

WORKSHOP Ambiguity and Disambiguation


Organizer: Galin Tihanov The annual colloquium of the ICLA Committee on Literary Theory is dedicated this year to a wide-ranging field of theoretical concerns captured under the title Ambiguity and Disambiguation. We approach this field from a variety of perspectives from Phenomenology and Deconstruction to PostColonialism and Textual Analysis to reveal and critique the complex ideological implications of the processes of articulation, dissemination, and appropriation of meaning in Literature and Philosophy. As part of this agenda, we seek to establish the dynamics and the significance of the interrelated practices of ambiguation and disambiguation; to do so, we engage in close analysis of texts and artifacts from different cultural traditions and historical contexts.

WORKSHOP Ovid and Modernity: Concepts and Representations of Metamorphosis in Contemporary Literature.
Organizers: Monika Schmitz-Emans and Manfred Schmeling Omnia mutantur (Met. XV, 169): As contemporary literary reformulations make clear, this statement can mean different things. With regard to Ovids Metamorphoses themselves, it points especially to the fact that European and, later-on, also Non-European literature since ancient times have taken up and transformed Ovidian subjects again and again. Many literary works that are characterized by their intertextual connection with Ovids Metamorphoses are not only linked to each other by their intense interest in Ovids narrative, his representation style and the idea of change; while they implicitly and even explicitly reflect upon metamorphic processes they discuss at the same time different concepts of mediality and representation. Italo Calvino, for instance, regarded Ovids work as a model for modern narrators, pointing not only to the unchanged actuality of the subject of metamorphosis, but also of the compatibility of Ovids representation strategies with modern experiences. The Metamorphoses are above all the poem of rapidity. Everything has to happen at high speed, stike the imagination; every image has to overlap another image, come into focus, and then vanish. This is the principle of the cinema: each line, like each frame, must be full of visual stimuli in motion. The abhorrence of the vacuum dominates both space and time. For page after page all verbs are in the present, so that everything is happening before our eyes; events pursue each other, and anything distant is rejected. When Ovid wishes to change pace, the first thing he does is to change not the tense of the verbs but the person. (Calvino, The Uses of Literature, 1976). Our workshop about Ovid and Literary Modernity: Concepts and Representations of Metamorphoses in Contemporary Literature will be dedicated to Ovids heritage as it is reflected by modern and post-modern narratives and poetry.

WORKSHOP Fluid Cartographies New Modernities


Organizers: Isabel Capeloa Gil and Joo Ferreira Duarte The topographical turn in literary and cultural studies has appropriated the concept of cartography both as a powerful tool to address the new social, political and cultural geographies situated on the contact zone (Pratt) between the West and the Rest, and as a figuration of a counter-discourse that displays antagonisms beneath the old colonial charts. Maps that traditionally represented analytical instruments to structure the microphysics of power involved in the domination of the territory were in fact more than geographical tools, they were systems structuring an entire hierarchy of imperial dichotomies as far as power, knowledge and ethnicity were concerned. The appropriation of space foregrounded the dissemination of a European-based knowledge and also supported the diffusion of European modernity. Understanding cartography from a non-hegemonic perspective, i.e. as a fluid tool of emergent possibility negotiated among conflicting discourses and apt to chart the literature and criticism produced in hybrid contact zones, be they geographic, academic, ethnic, sexual or political, the workshop wishes to address the way in which a new cartographic knowledge may be pivotal in deconstructing the old hegemonic spatial-temporal co-presence of European modernity and disclose other modernities beyond the Western gap.

SECTION 3 CROSSINGS AND CONTAMINATIONS


This section will discuss the limits and possibilities of artistic production in the contemporary scene, taking into account the social, political, economic and cultural changes imposed by the process of globalization, which is driven by the interests of transnational capital and its logic based upon the rules of the market. This logic aims at a worldwide circulation of material and above all symbolic commodities. The following points will be addressed: the ethical as well as philosophical implications brought about by the mechanization of our perception; the relations between literature, visual arts and cultural industry. Topics of interest: literature and cinema; literature and the visual arts; literature and theatre; literature and music; literature and television.

WORKSHOP Intermediality in the Arts. Papers in Honour of Claus Clver.


Organizer: Stephanie A. Glaser This workshop focuses on crossings between the arts, or contaminations of pure art forms, which are created through medial interplay. Setting forth some of the multiple dimensions of intermediality, particularly in the twentieth century, each panel highlights different kinds of intermedia production ranging from multimedia art, mixed-media art, intermedia transposition, to word and image relations, interrelations between the arts, representation in the arts, and the semiotics of the printed word. The workshop has been organized to honor Claus Clver, who is one of the leading figures in intermedia studies and theory.

SECTION 4 HUMAN, IN-HUMAN, POST-HUMAN


The displacement of the human at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century engendered the scientific paradigm of the Enlightenment, which fragmented the human body, although it was still understood as a totality. The 19th century emphasized the power of the fragment. At the same time, questions related to corpses and morbid forms (Baudelaire) were translated into the creation of Frankenstein. The 20th century developed the exploration of monstrous forms and called into question the nature of the body and of the human: unity or fragment? Nowadays, genetic technology surpasses the opposition between human/inhuman. The hybrid post-human investigates the conditions for a new subjectivity, inhabited by cyborgs and androids, proposing yet another question: dehumanization of the human or humanization of the machine? This section addresses this question, as it surfaces in literature, cinema, and the visual arts.

SECTION 5 IDENTITIES IN PROCESS: MULTICULTURALISM, MISCEGENATION, HYBRIDITY


Contemporary reality offers unprecedented challenges to literary studies. At this time of globalization, which is defined by a ceaseless flow of information as well as featured by a vertiginous plurality of media, there is perhaps no task as important as the development of a theoretical imagination able to process texts, contexts, data and emotions from multiple temporalities and displacements. In this section, we aim at bringing to the fore the theoretical imagination of alterity through methods and approaches concerned with the creative appropriation of the contribution of the Other. Topics of interest: the anthropophagous paradigm; transculturation; hybrid cultures; peripheral modernization; literary anthropology; mestizo cultures; conceptual guerrillas etc.

SECTION 6 TRANSLATION, TRADITION, BETRAYAL?


Translation is a cultural mediator which allows multiple crossings, for it reveals the Other who transposes languages boundaries. Cultural and PostColonial Studies are at the core of Translation Studies. Translation Studies include direct and indirect translations, re-translations, inter-semiotic translations, adaptations, creation proper and trans-creation. The broad map of Translation Studies, its centers and peripheries, admissions and exclusions, reflects the current fragmentation of the field into sub-specialties, some empirically oriented, some hermeneutic and literary, and some influenced by various forms of Linguistics and Cultural Studies. This section welcomes contributions to these issues.

WORKSHOP Translation Studies Across Gender, Genre and Censor


Organizers: Margaret R. Higonnet and John Milton The Translation Workshop of the ICLA is where many of the accepted concepts of Translation Studies first developed in the 1970s and 1980s as cutting edge ideas. The ICLA Translation Workshop provided a forum for the bases of Descriptive Translation Studies, as originated by James Holmes and developed by Itamar Even-Zohar and Gideon Toury. Jos Lambert, Andr Lefevere, Theo Hermans and Anthony Pym all actively participated in the Workshop, which has now extended its horizons beyond Europe, into Asia and the Americas. Unfortunately, however, the last Chair of the Workshop, Yoshihiro Oshawa (University of Tokyo) unexpectedly passed away on at the very young age of 56 on 21 March 2005, a few months after the Hong-Kong ICLA Congress. This Translation Workshop is dedicated to his memory.

SECTION 7 NATIONALISMS AND SEXUALITIES: GENDER, CLASS AND POWER RELATIONS


Nationalisms and sexualities are two of the most powerful discourses shaping contemporary notions of identity. In literary practice, the assertion of new subjectivities emerges as a space of vindication of new specificities of explicit authorship. In permanent dissention with the canon, questions of class and gender produce unprecedented manifestations such as gay literature or the literature produced by subaltern groups like prisoners or the inhabitants of peripheral areas of the great metropoles. How does womens literature express itself in a Post-Feminist era? What type of power relations emerge in this new century of globalized economy? How do these problems relate to the wider processes of change which are problematizing modern societies and undermining the frameworks through which people relate to institutions, each other and themselves? These are some of the questions this sections seeks to explore.

SYMPOSIUM 1 RIO DE JANEIRO AS A CULTURAL METROPOLIS


Rio de Janeiro is the only city that, having been a colony, was the capital of the Portuguese Empire. With the arrival of the Portuguese court during the Napoleonic wars, an interesting inversion occurred: the periphery became the center. From this time onwards, this harbor citywhich was the capital until the creation of Brasilia in 1960assumed its special vocation as a cultural axis, and became a reference to all Portuguese-speaking countries. Rio de Janeiro holds the main archives and library collections, making it a privileged place for research. The ethnic plurality of its population, the harmonious coexistence of religions, as well as its geography make Rio de Janeiro a special space for the production of culture and artistic inspiration. This symposium welcomes contributions on Rio as a metropolis as well as on the citys relationship with other Latin American, North American and European centers.

SYMPOSIUM 2 LATIN AMERICA: UNITY IN DIVERSITY


If on the one hand Latin America is a construct, which tends to neutralize important differences, on the other hand it is a space of confluence, the only imagined locus capable of assuring voice and projection on the international level to the nations and peoples that form part of it. As a territory marked by conflicts of all sortsethnic, cultural, linguistic, social, economic and political, among othersthe continent has always been seen either from a perspective imported from its colonizers and neo-colonizers or from a consciousness of its locus of enunciation. In the case of the intellectuals who have adopted the latter view, the most frequent attitude has been not a refusal of foreign contribution, but rather an appropriation of such contribution for the purpose of establishing a dialogue on equal footing with it. The basic aim of this symposium is to discuss the meaning and function of Latin American literary and cultural production on international grounds and to raise questions about the strategies of appropriation intellectuals have been employing as regards foreign contributions, especially coming from the so-called First World.

SYMPOSIUM 3 GLOBALIZATION.COM
The planetary reordering of the political, economic, and cultural powers driven by techno-science creates the strategic value of the non-place of velocity. On the one hand, the dissemination of capital, commodities and services worldwide surpasses the traditional notions of space and time. On the other hand, it lends a sense of unreality to everyday life, due to the intense mediation of technological imagery. This symposium addresses the political, artistic, and cultural implications of this context.

WORKSHOP Comparative Literature in the Digital Age


Organizer: Dolores Romero Lpez

The application of technology to information, communication, and culture has been through the history of humanity a key factor in social progress and well being. The impact of digital technology is vital for contemporary culture and is leaving some identity tracks that are changing certain uses of the previous tradition. Similarly, the literary system is also being powerfully affected in three aspects. In the first place, computer resources have been used to preserve and edit literary texts, associating to them graphical material, links with related texts or with dictionaries, and, above all, developing searching tools of concordance and syntactic/ semantic analysis. Secondly, we are watching the birth of a digital literature, with new generic characteristics, new creators, with knowledge of both technological mechanisms and literary resources, and a reader capable of interpreting and enjoying texts on the screen. Thirdly, literary theory has expressed new postulates with regard to the multiple authorship of digital texts, the desintegration of the textual meaning, intertextuality and the participation of the reader in the creative process and the interpretation of the texts. These three aspects imply, for some authors, the search for a new paradigm for the creation, reading, and interpretation of digital texts, and points to a new humanism.
