Representation of trauma in literature and art
Scholarly colloquium organised by the Department of Czech Literature and Library Science and the Centre for Literary and Intercultural Studies at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University, in cooperation with the Brno House of Arts.
The aim of the scholarly colloquium is to introduce the research of various forms of trauma in the field of culture, especially literature and art of the twentieth century. The presented papers will thematize artistic reflection of trauma in various stages and forms, in social and psychological contexts, and historical and philosophical contexts. The genres of scholarly reflection and discussion will allow participants of the colloquium to share experience, research perspectives, and findings in a creative dialogue. We suppose that the colloquium will bring partial evaluation and conclusions of research, which will be the basis for a monograph publication in the form of essays, as well as open new subject matters for further development of the debate in broader cultural contexts. Language of the colloquium: Czech or Slovak
