Meeting Description:

The Department of English at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Sousse, Tunisia, is organizing an international interdisciplinary conference titled 'The Ethical and the Violent' from 6 to 8 March 2014. The event will be a podium to review and discuss the latest issues relating to its theme.

- Anthropology
- Art history
- Comparative literature
- Culture studies
- Gender studies
- History
- Linguistics
- Literary theories
- Pedagogy
- Philosophy
- Political science
- Religious studies
- Translation

The conference is open, and attendance is free.
