Subject: Call for papers: Esse-9 Conference, Seminar 20: Shakespeare and
Discourse Stylistics
ESSE 9 conference - Aarhus, Denmark, 22-26 August 2008: Seminar 20:
Shakespeare and Discourse Stylistics.
The next ESSE conference will be held at the University of Aarhus,
Denmark, from 22 to 26 August 2008. We invite papers for seminar 20 on
'Shakespeare and Discourse Stylistics'
Panel Abstract:
From copia to stylistic reticence, Shakespeare's playtexts map out the
extreme limits and impasse of verbal communication. The present seminar
aims at assessing and highlighting the discourse strategies and
structures at stake in conversational exchange and interaction in the
very process of capturing the world of human understanding and
relationships. Such a process involves the difficulty, sometimes the
impossibility, and the exhilaration of mediating that world through
language. Shakespeare's playtexts should be envisaged as being rooted in
a cultural and rhetorical context in which meaning (and the difficulties
of conveying meaning) is a collaborative construction, involving author,
text, culture, and reader. Papers are welcome on the range of
Shakespeare's negotiations with the problematics of the production of
meaning. Areas of exploration include textual stylistics, semantics,
pragmatics, and semiotics.
