Call for Papers!


 

“Coleridge and the Orient” will be a three-day international conference focusing on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Romantic literature, and the Orient.


　In the context of post-Saidian criticism, the conference aims to explore the large, untapped territory of Asia, the East, and the Orient in the texts of Romantic literature. The Romantic imagination is enhanced, and yet sometimes threatened by the presence of the Orient. It reflects Westerners' ambivalent concerns and cross-cultural negotiations with the East, and is at times complicated by colonial anxiety and imperial guilt.

　Topics for discussion will range widely to include Coleridge and other Romantic writers, travel writings, cross-cultural issues in Romantic Literature, a reconsideration of Romanticism and Orientalism, the reception of Coleridge and other Romantic writers in the non-European context – and much more.  

 
[All papers will be in English.]
