Literatures and Cultures in the Face of War conference In briefDate - 5 October 2023Venue - OnlineOrganisers - Institute of Philology (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv), School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (University of Edinburgh)Book your free ticket on EventbriteAbout the eventRussia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 brought death and suffering to the Ukrainian people, and to the world the shocking realisation that unprovoked aggression and violence had returned on European soil.News reports, analyses, interviews and testimonies have come flooding in ever since in the media, yet the constant flow of information often leaves us with more questions than answers, filling us with a sense of powerlessness.We struggle to make sense of events mediated by live streams, which can give even those directly affected by the events the illusion that they are mere passive observers, watching from afar.This one-day conference aims to explore the possible articulation of the ongoing experience of the war that Russia began in Ukraine in February 2014 through the medium of literary and cultural representations. We will also consider the impact of war on the academic field of literary studies and on teaching and studying literature at university.How to attendThis event is free and open to all.
