Meeting Description:

This 5th edition is meant to continue the series of academic events dedicated
to the famous British scholar and is open to specialists with an
interdisciplinary interest in his spiritual legacy. This year, the work of C.
S. Lewis and his “kindred minds” (the Inkling group but not only) is
approached with an emphasis on the “other worlds” they imagined.

The fifth C. S. Lewis conference focuses on C. S. Lewis and his literary and
academic kin as creators of worlds. His entire work testifies to his
fascination with alternative universes, from his scholarly exploration of
Medieval literature, with its haunting myths and arcane symbolism, through his
fiction, to his apologetics, where Christianity is seen as a parallel kingdom
seeking to be reinstated in “an enemy-occupied territory”. From pain to love,
through faith and imagination, he opened a spectrum of realities inviting
exploration and reflection. The collection of essays by Lewis alluded to in
the title of this year’s conference spans both this and other worlds: “this”
realm, which we inhabit, is the necessary, unavoidable starting point for any
explorers, conquerors, pilgrims, even refugees into the “others”. 

Those willing to venture into the exploration of the worlds of imagination
created by C. S. Lewis and kindred spirits are invited to contribute papers in
the areas of semiotics, narratology, literary studies (with a special focus on
fantasy, on possible worlds in language structures, at the crossroads between
referential semantics and fiction studies), translation studies (the challenge
of translating fantasy for readerships of various ages and its effect on
reception), philosophy, logic, theology, cultural and arts studies, including
any interdisciplinary permutation or cross-pollination.


Call for Papers: 

Interested participants are invited to send a 200-250-word abstract for
peer-review to the Conference Committee via the organizers: Dr. Rodica Albu
(rodica.albu at gmail.com), Dr. Denise Vasiliu (denise_vasiliu at yahoo.com), Dr.
Teodora Ghivirigă (teoghivi at yahoo.com).
