ASCL: 46th Annual Comparative Literature Conference, April 13-14

The annual Comparative Literature conference is being held on April 13 and 14. The topic is "The Comic Spirit in the Modern Age" and there are panel sessions and some larger talks. There is even a Classics panel on Roman Satire.

The conference is in the Anatol Center in the AS building. You can download a conference program here.

The history of the evolution of comic forms is variegated and complex. Yet, it is a history that continues to inform the various manifestations and applications of humor within contemporary social discourses. Whether it is delivered in the form of stand-up, on the screen, or in the genre of theater, prose or poetry, the conventions by which modern-day comedic practice is established are the result of the refinement, renegotiation and reconfiguration of traditions harking back to Classical, Renaissance, and even early 20th-century sensibilities.
