About this Event
Dis/Trusting the Institution(s) of Literature brings together scholars to consider questions raised by the institutional turn in literary studies over recent decades. The conference aims to evaluate the current state of the field and to reflect on the cumulative effects of this disciplinary shift concerning institutions. We are hosting a conversation that includes scholars who are producing exciting new work using sociological methods - across subdisciplines and national cultures - alongside scholars interested in reflecting on the broader implications of these methods for literary studies.
The conference is co-sponsored by two research projects, “Imaginative Literature and Social Trust, 1990-2025” (www.trustlit.org) and “The Publishing Infrastructures of Contemporary Anglophone Literature,” both funded by Research Ireland.
Keynote Speakers: Sarah Brouillette (Carleton University), Simone Murray (Monash University), Christopher Newfield (Independent Social Research Foundation).
