Call for Papers:

Interdisciplinary and experimental approaches to suspense and related
phenomena
University of Graz, Oct 9-10 2023

The team of the interdisciplinary, bilateral DFG-FWF funded project
“The erotetic and the aesthetic” carried out jointly at the University
of Goettingen, Germany, and the University of Graz, Austria, is
pleased to announce an international workshop on interdisciplinary and
experimental approaches to suspense and related phenomena.
The workshop will take place in person on October 9-10, 2023 in Graz,
Austria (we are considering hybrid options in exceptional
circumstances).
We invite abstract submissions for oral presentations (30 minutes for
the talk + 15 for discussion) on all related topics, including, but
not limited to:

- Interdisciplinary and especially experimental approaches to
narrative suspense and related phenomena, including (but not limited
to):
o Erotetic text structure (both linguistic theory and textual
analysis)
o Textual foundations of suspensefulness in narrative, such as events,
event structure, or plot
o Hermeneutic approaches to interpreting suspenseful literary
narratives
- New theoretical, empirical, and methodological insights on research
at the interface of linguistics and literary studies, especially (but
not limited to):
o Innovative methodological designs for measuring readers’ emotions,
expectations, interpretations, and other interactions with texts
o Visualizing data
o Statistical approaches to experimental and corpus data
o How investigating linguistic phenomena in literary texts can inform
formal semantic theories and vice versa

Participants may present their own research or a discussion of
existing works. Work in progress is welcome.

Confirmed invited speakers:
Regine Eckardt (University of Konstanz)
Mark Algee-Hewitt (Stanford University)
Janina Jacke (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen)
Svenja Guhr (TU Darmstadt)

Abstracts should be up to 500 words (not counting references) and sent
to suspense at uni-graz.at by June 15, 2023. Please include your name and
affiliation in the body of the email, not in the abstract file.
Notification of acceptance ca. July 1, 2023.

For any questions do not hesitate to write to us at
suspense at uni-graz.at. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Graz!
