From April 24 to 26, UOC Campus. Marta Puxan-Olive co-directs, together with Neus Rotger, the international conference The Global Novel: Bridging Material, Objects and Forms. The Global Novel Research Project's final conference gathers scholars pursuing research on the contemporary novel from a global perspective, from any literary and linguistic tradition. The conference topic aligns with the project's objective. We are interested in a new, more integrated, and decentralized perspective in the study of the emergent genre of the global novel, defined as a narrative form that aspires to represent and think about the contemporary world from a global perspective. This new approach will help us better understand how the global novel contributes, discusses and builds global discourses through specific exploratory poetics. Aina Vidal-Pérez, Ignacio Martínez-Armas and Laia Ventayol-García are also participating in the conference. You will find the conference program attached.
