SYMPOSIUM’S GENERAL TOPICS
LITERATURE AND ECOLOGY
Climate change, ecological disasters, and the worries about the destruction of natural resources do not only concern politics and natural sciences, but also the Humanities. From there we are inclined to understand, to criticize, and to re-build the cultural models that have been responsible of the current state of our planet. We also have to meditate about the complex relationship between nature and culture, both synchronically and diachronically. In consequence, ecocriticism, the study of the relations between literature and natural environment, implies artistic and philosophic issues, but is also affected by pedagogical, political, or social perspectives. Ethics and aesthetics are narrowly linked in this field, and both can be approached from many different points of view. This Symposium seeks proposals related to any of the following topics, but not limited to them, being open to the acceptance of others that are also related to the field:- Current ecocriticism

LITERATURE AND THE VISUAL ARTS
From Antiquity, there has been a constant dialogue between literature and visual arts that has derived in the development of key concepts such as Horace’s ut pictura poesis, Simonides of Ceos’s view of poetry as talking painting, the ideal of the sister arts or the Poesque unity of concept. All that has crystallized in literary works in which their authors have acted as visual artists and, using resources like ekphrasis, among others, have “painted” or “sculpted” with words emphasizing the visual aspect of their texts. Of course, this dialogue has traversed both ways, and figurative artists have constantly attempted to “narrate” with their paintings and sculptures, or they have offered visual readings of literary texts. The Symposium seeks proposals related to any of the following topics:VOICES FROM AFRICA
This thematic line aims to cover all the literary productions, along with other artistic manifestations, produced in Africa. Besides, any narration having Africa as its main scenario, whose main characters are Africans or are related to the continent will also be considered. Africa is distributed in more than fifty states and they are the home of languages that are not native to the continent, such as Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish. Africa also hosts about a third of the world’s linguistic diversity. Some African languages have a wide literary tradition, while others are only spoken by a few hundreds and they are exclusively oral. The Symposium will accept proposals related to this variety, specially those linked to the following topics:Papers will be presented in different sessions, as will be announced in the final program. Each author will have 15 minutes for presentation and at the end of each session there will be 10 minutes for debate.
Additional information regarding the Symposium and supplying further details relative to transport and accommodation will be published shortly.
