Interdisciplinary Approaches to Culture and Society on MLA Commons 11 years, 3 months agoHi, my topic would be around Álvaro Cunqueiro, a Spanish A-vanguard author, who practices Magical Realism and who grounds his work into the World-up Side Down, parody, irony and humor (Bakhtin, etc.).

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Culture and Society on MLA Commons 11 years, 3 months agoHi Marilyn – it is an interdisciplinary conference so politics is fine. The session that is open for paper submissions is “Carnival and Satire” so if your topic fits that, we would welcome your abstract. Either way, we hope you can attend the conference in April!
