International Conference to be held on December 18-19, 2018 at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Acknowledging the relevance Clarice Lispector’s work for both Brazilian and World Literature, the Seventh International Symposium on Brazil at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem aims at gathering scholars to promote a dialogue on Lispector’s literary and non-literary writings, from varied perspectives and theoretical approaches. The event will focus on the topic of memory and belonging in Lispector’s work as a starting point for discussions, moving beyond that to critically engage in debates involving other relevant issues concerning her work, such as:

• Comparative readings of Lispector’s works
• Crossing boundaries: genres and intertextuality in Lispector writings
• Lispector within/ beyond a Gender Studies perspective.
• “Writing with the body”, new readings of Lispector’s narrative
• Reading and re-writing: the reception of Lispector’s works
• Lispector in translation.
• Teaching Lispector

Professor Nelson Vieira from Brown University, a renowned researcher who focuses contemporary Brazilian literature, as well as fiction of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including the work of Clarice Lispector, will provide a keynote address. We welcome proposals for 20-minute presentations in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Please include a title, a 200-300-word abstract, and brief biography, no more than 5 lines.

The deadline for proposals is May 1, 2018.
