Writing (for) the Market – Narratives of Global Economy
25-27 June 2015, 4th annual conference of the DFG Research Training Group “Globalization and Literature: Representations, Transformations, Interventions” will take at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich.
This year’s conference is concerned with the complex relationship between literature and the ‘global market’ and will address questions of the effects of the market on literary production as well as the representation and narration of ‘the market’ in literary texts. Besides bringing together international scholars from a variety of literary departments, the Open Forum “Global Playing for Everyone? Positioning Strategies on the Global Book Market” provides a room for discussion for different agents in the publishing industry.
