Linguistic Field(s): Ling & Literature

This conference brings together scholars from around the world to
explore the phenomenon of script-switching in literary texts. Thirty
contributions have been selected for presentation, representing
diverse geographical regions and historical periods, with scheduling
that accommodates participants from Japan to California. The
conference's scope encompasses a range of topics, including the
stylistic functions of script-switching in Japanese literature and its
connection to multilingualism and translation. Presentations will also
examine multi-script usage in various regions, such as Asia, North
Africa, and Europe, as well as the significance of script choice in
historical documents. The narratological potential of heterography
will be explored through the works of authors like Ezra Pound and Anne
Carson. Furthermore, the conference will address the role of script in
contemporary contexts, including avant-garde drama, K-pop lyrics, art
and occult science texts. Four keynotes will be delivered, including
one by Haun Saussy and Monika Schmitz-Emans. A book presentation
featuring "Writing Beyond Writing" by Tim Brookes is also included in
the program. This conference provides a forum for scholarly exchange
and discussion on this multifaceted topic.
