Meeting Description:

Presentation and Description:

The Department of Philology at the University of Cantabria is pleased to host
the 6th ASYRAS conference that will take place in Santander from 27-29 June
2019. The conference, with the title ''On Potentialities'' sets up a forum
where early-career specialists in English Studies can present the results of
their research. The Conference will be honoured with three plenary speakers:
Jimena Escudero Pérez (University of Oviedo), Barbara Franchi (University of
Kent), and Ignacio Palacios Martínez (University of Santiago). We will also
offer workshops and informative sessions for conference participants. Our goal
is to foster a scientific meeting for the exchange of current research from a
variety of perspectives.

The Conference will be arranged in thematic sessions and will consist of
20-minute paper presentations followed by a 10-minute discussion. Proposals
will undergo peer review by specialists in the different fields. We will
consider proposals from any field related to Anglophone Studies organised
around Agamben's notion of ''the potential'', defined in ''On Potentiality''
as ''to be one's own lack, to be in relation to one's own incapacity. Beings
that exist in the mode of potentiality are capable of their own
impotentiality; and only in this way do they become potential. They can be
because they are in relation to their own non-Being. In potentiality,
sensation is in relation to anesthesia, knowledge to ignorance, vision to
darkness'' (Agamben 1999: 182).
