International
Conference “Europe and the Colonial Empires of the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth centuries in Literature and Film”
Faculdade de Ciências Humanas e Sociais – Universidade do
Algarve
Gambelas
Campus – 20 and 21 October 2016
CALL FOR PAPERS
Literature and Film have been
working as true time machines. The reappearance of the historical or
historically themed novel and the continued popularity of the historical film
are evidence of the reader’s and the filmic audience’s interest in these
genres, as well as of the huge inspiration that authors and directors find in
the historical past.
The dialogue between Literature and
Film has been fruitful in recent years, in the field of inter-Arts Studies. The
mutual influence regarding the themes and narrative strategies have led to a
growing interest for Literature and Film studies in Academia.
In this sense, the Organising
Commission of this Conference, constituted by members of FCHS-UAlg, CLEPUL-FLUG
and CIAC-UAlg, proposes a debate of scientific nature for specialists and
whomever might be interested, to take place in the Faculadade de Ciências
Humanas e Sociais of the Universidade do Algarve, Gambelas Campus, in 20 and 21 October 2016.
There will be considered works
dealing with the following thematic areas:
1. Literature and Film
1.1. Theory and interdisciplinary
dialogue.
2. Historical novel
2.1. The “New Historical Novel” of
the twentieth century: problematics, themes and narrative strategies;
2.2. The representation of the
historical character and event in the “New Historical Novel”;
2.3. The sixteenth, seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries in the “New Historical Novel”.
3. Historical Film
3.1. The historical film and the

on film;
3.2. Authors and directors:
