Meeting Description:

This conference aims to expand identity research perspective onto other
historically essentialist notions such as gender, sex, age, class, nation,
ethnicity and religion and to scrutinize the categories that have come to
define identity throughout the history of Anglophone cultures, literatures,
and in the English language. Suggesting that it is worthwhile to look at each
of these concepts, not as something to be studied but rather, as Mitchell has
it, as ''a frame, a window, a screen, or a lens'' through which people have
historically structured the world around them and endowed it with meaning, we
thus hope to inquire not just into how language, literature, and art reflect
reality but also how they shape it.

The following scholars have accepted our invitation to address the conference
as plenary speakers:

Christoph Bode (LMU Munich)
Adam Głaz (Maria Curie Skłodowska University, Lublin)
Jan Jędrzejewski (University of Ulster)
Agnieszka Kiełkiewicz-Janowiak (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań)
Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk (State University of Applied Sciences in Konin)
