SUMMARY:Guest Lecture "The Water's Speech: Literature at the Coastal Edge"
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Allen (University of Georgia)\n\nHosted by the SNSF-Pr
 oject "The Beach in the Long Twentieth Century"\n\nThe beach, the foreshore
 , the estuary, and the indeterminate spaces between land and sea shape cont
 emporary literature in ways that speak to our concerns for climate change, 
 political uncertainty, and the future. I have written a book about these id
 eas in context of Irish literature from the late nineteenth century to the 
 present, tracing the fluid shapes of empire, partition, and independence in
  the work of writers from William Butler Yeats to Anne Enright.  In this co
 nversation, I will share some readings from Seamus Heaney, Eiléan Ní Chuill
 eanáin, Michael Longley, Moya Cannon, and others, in context of contemporar
 y thinking about water and coasts, with a view to showing how these artists
 ’ liquid arts have their own aesthetic, and political, histories.\n\nThe le
 cture will take place on April 29th, 2021, at 16.15, on Zoom. To sign up, p
 lease send an email to gudrun.jakupsstovu@ens.unibe.ch. Please feel free to
  circulate the attached poster among friends and colleagues that might be i
 nterested in the topic.
