THE 16TH METU
BRITISH NOVELISTS SEMINAR
IRIS MURDOCH AND HER WORK
December 15-16, 2008
Department of Foreign Language Education at the Middle East Technical
University, Ankara, TURKEY, is convening a 2-day conference on Dublin-born
writer and philosopher Dame Jean Iris Murdoch (15 July 1919 - 8
February 1999) and her fiction, and her other critical and creative work. It
is a conference intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum for scholars
and participants who descend from different backgrounds and to encourage
dialogue between them. We encourage proposals on a wide variety of topics
related to Murdoch which might include Murdochs interrogations of gender and
sexuality, identity and difference, and conflicts between good and evil from a
variety of literary, historical, political, and cultural perspectives. We also
welcome new comparative theoretical approaches offering provocative insights
into Murdoch. As usual, we plan to publish the papers presented at the
Conference.
