Backreading Hong Kong
Junior Scholars’ Symposium on Hong Kong Literature and Culture
CALL FOR PAPERS
A highly diversified and fluid cultural space, Hong Kong requires a particular kind of “backreading” that strikes connections between the temporal, spatial, cultural and linguistic gaps in one’s critical appreciation of literary arts from the local soil. In a spirit of solidarity, this symposium aims at engaging young and emerging scholars in a generative dialogue to explore the transnational and cross-media communications in the production, circulation and reception of the multilingual and multicultural Hong Kong literature and culture. No registration fee is required!
Date: 7 January 2017 (Saturday)
Venue: TBA, Hong Kong
Languages: Cantonese, English, Mandarin Chinese
We welcome contributions from any young scholar who
1. has obtained a doctoral degree within the recent six years; OR
2. is a doctoral degree holder under forty-years old; OR
3. is currently a PhD candidate.
