SUMMARY:Adapting Violence in/from Classic Texts
DESCRIPTION:A two-day workshop, supported by the University of Bern Fund fo
 r Promotion of Young\n\nResearchers. Deadline for Proposals: 15 Dec 2021.\n
 \nPlenary Sessions:\n\n 	Urvashi Chakravarty (University of Toronto), Keyno
 te Speaker 	Maria Sachiko Cecire (Bard College), Plenary Respondent 	Chitra
  Banerjee Divakaruni (University of Houston), Author Talk 	Round table on v
 iolence and adaptation studies (TBA) \n\nJyotika Virdi (2006) described the
  feminist creator seeking to represent rape in film as caught between a ‘ro
 ck and a hard place’—that is, between the ethical call to represent oppress
 ive reality, and the risk that representing violence may perpetuate harm. S
 imilar concerns underlie the representation of racial violence, homophobia 
 and transphobia, and graphic physical violence, with which adaptations of h
 igh-status cultural texts must frequently grapple.\n\nThis two-day, online 
 workshop will bring together specialists in the contemporary adaptation and
  in adaptation as a premodern cultural practice to consider what concerns s
 hape the reception and re-visioning of violence. We will explore the stakes
  involved in adaptation, and the uses and abuses of violence in adapting cl
 assic texts. Our definition of ‘classic’ is broad - we seek to bring togeth
 er scholars working on adaptations (any period) of ‘high status cultural te
 xts’, where the source texts predate 1865. \n\nSee: https://amybrownresearc
