Meeting Description:
International Symposium 'The Failed Text'
Department of English and German Studies, University of Granada
18, 19 & 20 April 2012
The International Symposium 'The Failed Text' aims to analyze exemplary textual failures in the history of discourses, and their repercussions (or lack thereof) in the textual development of historical, political, philosophical, media-related and literary discourses. We are interested in research that looks into how the trajectory of such discourses up until our days has not exclusively been a succession of successful proposals either by a high proportion of the population or by intellectual, economic or social elites. On the contrary, we want to investigate how the history of discourses emerges out of failed projects, unwelcome innovative attempts and instances of deep personal frustration that, at best, have only been vindicated and praised after the death of their devisors. In other words, the present symposium will make manifest that the history of discourse (including the present time) is abundant in absolute failures that have in some cases found acceptance and gained influence with time.
Simposio Internacional 'El Texto Fracasado'
Departamento de Filologías Inglesa y Alemana, Universidad de Granada
18, 19 y 20 de abril de 2012
El simposio internacional 'El Texto Fracasado' pretende analizar fracasos textuales ejemplares en la historia de los discursos, y la repercusión o impacto de dichos fracasos en el desarrollo textual de los discursos históricos, políticos, filosóficos, mediáticos y literarios. Con ello se persigue poner de manifiesto que el devenir de estos discursos hasta su conformación actual no ha sido el resultado de la sucesión de propuestas exitosas aplaudidas y apoyadas por una mayoría o una élite intelectual, económica o social, sino, en muchos casos, la concatenación de propuestas individuales fallidas, de intentos innovadores no bienvenidos y de hondas frustraciones personales que, solamente en el mejor de los casos, han sido reivindicadas y alabadas tras la muerte de sus creadores. En otras palabras, el simposio pondrá de manifiesto cómo la historia de los discursos está repleta de grandes fracasos que, solamente en ciertas ocasiones, han encontrado con el paso del tiempo un espacio de aceptación e influencia.
Call for Papers:
Suggested topics for discussion include (though are not limited to) the following matters:
- Disappearance or exhaustion of literary genres
- Disastrous incursions of renowned authors into genres other than those in which they gained praise
- Unsatisfactory translations eventually replaced
- Praiseworthy translations that remained unpublished or generally unknown
- Failed attempts to import foreign literary genres through translation
- Unfinished or unpublished works
- Ill-fated commissioned literary creations
- Literary works that remained in the margins of the market due to the peculiarities of their authors
- Literary compositions that enjoyed outstanding popularity in their own time and are now forgotten and neglected by the histories of literature
- Pragmatic 'misunderstandings' or miscommunication
- Inter- and cross-cultural pragmatic failure
- Unsuccessful public speeches
- Infelicitous texts in advertising discourse
- Flawed discoursal transpositions, from literary to filmic forms
The International Symposium 'The Failed Text' wishes to gather experts in languages and their literatures as well as specialists in related disciplines (Linguistics, Philosophy, History, Political Science) that approach, from various points of view and applying different methodologies, the history of discourses.

Other Important Dates:
