Meeting Description:

We focus our attention on theory, the term that can be regarded to subsume all
the topics discussed in the previous years as it is deeply intrinsic to all
domains of research. In that sense, both language and literature are
associated with theory. Language can be studied from different theoretical
perspectives; linguistic theories and hypotheses are tested in theoretical and
empirical research, validated or refuted, yet always aimed at accumulating
knowledge and generating new ideas about how language works. Furthermore,
literature and theory pursue the same goals: they both explore and make sense
of the complexities of our life and phenomena we barely or do not understand.
Literature faces the most difficult questions we can ask, and invites us to
reflect and re-examine the questions it addresses, suggesting its openness to
critical evaluation.

In this regard, the aim of the conference Language, Literature, Theory is to
reflect and examine the relation between theory, language and literature in an
open way. This means focusing on various topics, such as examining theoretical
approaches to linguistics and literary studies, studying the relation between
literary theory and criticism, empirical testing of theories, critical
evaluation of both theory and empirical research, meta-theoretical
considerations.
