Organized by Bamberg University's American Studies section, this conference explores the links between environmental and migratory issues, with a special focus on poetry. German and international scholars will rethink the various interrelationships between poetics, ethics, and politics, and discuss individual poems from different cultures and centuries that talk about the environment and human migration in historically informed, conceptually complex, and aesthetically innovative ways.
Confirmed keynote speaker: Jahan Ramazani, Edgar F. Shannon Professor at the University of Virginia and author of Poetry and Its Others: News, Prayer, Song, and the Dialogue of Genres (2013), A Transnational Poetics (2009), The Hybrid Muse: Postcolonial Poetry in English (2001) and Poetry of Mourning: The Modern Elegy from Hardy to Heaney (1994).
All colleagues and students interested in the environment, migration and literature are welcome to attend! For further information please click here: www.uni-bamberg.de/amerikanistik/forschung/international-conference-2016-the-environment-and-human-migration

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
