The ERC project “Poetry in the Digital Age” will hold its first international and interdisciplinary conference on the topic of “Poetry and Contemporary Visual Culture”. The research project is situated between literary, cultural and interart studies. It will develop tools to analyze today’s multifaceted poetry formats, ranging from pop culture to works of ‘high’ art, by scrutinizing their forms and sites of presentation and performance, ranging from the stage to social media, from the written page to the urban space. Research will be divided into three main areas, focusing on (1) poetry and performance, (2) poetry and music, and (3) poetry and visual culture. The latter research field will be the focus of this conference.
Deadline for abstracts: August 31, 2021
