“Narratives of Displacement” International Conference

Organised by London Centre for Interdisciplinary Researchand The British and Comparative Cultural Studies Research Group (BRICCS), Unversity of the Balearic Islands, Spain, in collaboration with Research Project RTI2018-097186-B-I00 and RED2018-102678-T (MCI/AEI/ERDF, EU)

The conference seeks to explore the narratives of displacement and to demonstrate the validity of a cross-disciplinary approach which brings together the historical, cultural, social and literary expertise in the handling of text. The conference will particularly focus on time and space representations and on treatment of the theme of cultural ambivalence and identity conflict. The subject of displacement will be regarded as both a migration, voluntary or forced, and a sense of being socially or culturally “out of place”.
