                Literature and Visual Technologies

    An international conference at St John's College Oxford
    18-19 September 2000

    For over a century, literature has been assailed by an explosion of visual
    media, from the stereotype and the zooprixiscope, through cinema and
    television, to contemporary digital innovations. How has literature adapted
    to this century of spectacle? To what extent are modernism and
    postmodernism formal and stylistic reactions to the challenges posed by
    these new technologies of the visible?

    Keynote speakers: Colin MacCabe, Annette Mitchelson and Laura Marcus.

    Please send 250-word abstracts to Dr Julian Murphet, St John's College,
    Oxford OX1 3JP by 30 May. Informal enquiries to katy.mullin@btinternet.com
    or lydia.rainford@hertford.ox.ac.uk.
