Prague Structuralism and Fictional Worlds is a one-day conference to
honour Professor Emeritus Lubomir Dolezel on the occasion of his
eightieth birthday.  Not only will former colleagues, students, and
current admirers be participating in this celebration, Professor
Dolezel himself will be present.

Using the form of structuralism developed by the Prague School as a
foundation, Professor Dolezel established his theory of fictional
worlds, presenting it in numerous articles, presentations, and
monographs.  This celebration of Professor Dolezel's long career as a
literary theorist and educator will entail discussion of both his
intellectual heritage as a student of the Prague Linguistic Circle and
his theory of fictional worlds.

Along with papers dealing with the Prague Linguistic Circle and the
fictional worlds theory of Professor Dolezel, a round-table discussion
aims to assess the relevance of Prague School Structuralism in the
context of contemporary cultural and literary theories.

The keynote speaker will be Professor Roland Le Huenen, the director of
the Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto and
a longtime colleague of Professor Dolezel.
