(Re)Creating a Global Literary Canon

The international conference "(Re)Creating a Global Literary Canon" by the Commission for Migration and Integration Research will be held, from 14. to 15. December 2017, at the University of Vienna.

15.11.2017

The  conference seeks to explore how and under what conditions literary canons are successfully challenged and how cultural production is being sanctified in different ways. What is it that enables an author from the cultural periphery to ascend from national to regional or global fame? What new forms of codification are emerging? Our approach is consciously interdisciplinary.

ISR researcher Wiebke Sievers and Peggy Levitt organise the conference.
