Meeting Description:

Space and time, their conceptualization and the relationship between the 
two, have intrigued literature and linguistics for a long time. The objective of 
this conference is to gather presentations which deal with the expression of 
space and/or time in languages and literatures. The conference aims at 
exploring the issues of space, time and their interrelation from a linguistic 
and a literary perspective. With Time and Space in Languages, we aim to 
investigate issues related to the expression of time and space in natural 
languages. The topics could include, but are not restricted to, the following 
themes:
-Typology with respect to the expression of spatial information in languages 
around the world,
 -Space as expressed and conceptualized in verbs of fictive motion, 
-Comparing the use of time and space in unrelated languages,
- Prepositional semantics,
-'Language universality' versus 'language variability' in the expressions and 
the conceptualizations of space and time.

Space and Time in Literatures aims at bringing together presentations 
dealing with literary topics. Indeed, the expression of time and space in 
literature exceeds the simple notion of physical setting to take on 
psychological, social, spiritual, existential and transcendental dimensions. 
Novelists, playwrights and poets often make use of the symbolical 
dimension inherent in concepts of space and time to verbalize personalized 
issues of existence in the universe. Topics could include, but are not 
restricted to, the following themes:
-Space and time in Modernist and Postmodernist literature, 
-Space and time in Existentialist literature and literature of the Absurd, 
-Expression of Feminism, femininity and gender through particular 
representations of space and time, -Space and time as an expression of 
individuality, nationality or humanity, 
-Psychological, social and existential entrapment as conveyed through 
representations of space and time in literature.
