Meeting Description:

Canada in Short: Contemporary Canada in Short Fiction
7th International Conference organised by Sacs and the Faculty of Philology of the University of Belgrade 

Belgrade
17–18 April 2015

Alice Munro, the Nobel prize winner for 2013, lays great trust in the genre of short fiction:
''I would really hope that this would make people see the short story as an important art, not just something you played around with until you got a novel.'' - Source: The New York Times, October 11, 2013.

Inspired by this recognition of Canadian Literature, the Association for Canadian Studies in Serbia (SACS) and the Faculty of Philology of the University of Belgrade are pleased to announce the 7th International Conference hosted by the Faculty of Philology to be held in Belgrade, Serbia, 17-18 April 2015.

Registration Fee:

Euros 40, payable in cash upon arrival.

Call for Papers:

Papers to be presented in either English or French are warmly invited from all disciplines as well as from multidisciplinary perspectives. In the general context of short fiction, the Conference would like to achieve a clearer picture of contemporary Canada and its modern sensibility represented in the genre of the short story.
