Definitions of The Real in Prose and Poetry
06.05.2006 & 07.05.2006
OŚRODEK SZKOLENIA PAŃSTWOWEJ INSPEKCJI PRACY
(ul. Kopernika 5) Free admission
An international comparative literature conference organized with the support of the University of Wroclaw and the U.S.-Polish Fulbright Commission.
Literary terms such as “magical realism” and “socialist realism” problematize the concept of the real as it is portrayed in novels, short stories, plays, and poems, particularly in cross-cultural studies. Virtual reality and surrounding philosophies grow in importance in the information age. This conference will provide a forum for the discussion of British, American and Polish fictional texts which provide definitions of what is real and what is imaginary.
The keynote presentation by Dr. Dorota Kołodziejczyk (The University of Wrocław): “Escapes from Reality: Polish Fiction after 1989″
