Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria
A special issue of Cycnos
Deadline for proposals: 20 July 2021
It is our pleasure to launch a call for papers for a special issue of Cycnos entirely dedicated to Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria. The volume is mainly meant for the students and teachers of the Agrégation in France consequently, the papers may bear upon the whole novel and analyse its thematic, generic, historic, political, ethical, rhetorical or structural aspects and in this case the articles may be written in French or in English; or the papers may bear upon a specific excerpt and take the form of a close reading and in that case the articles will have to be written in English.
We expect the proposals for the 20th of July 2021. Our response will be given by the 1st of August and the completed papers will have to reach us by the 1st of October for a publication at the beginning of November 2021 – so that all the Agrégation students may have access to the volume before the written exams.
Thank you for sending a title and an abstract (around 300 words) as well as a short résumé (around 200 words) to Vanessa Guignery and Christian Gutleben :
