Trees in/and/around Literature in the Anthropocene

Listen

From Tuesday 21 May 2019 at 9:00am, to Wednesday 22 May 2019 at 5:00pm

via Sant'Ottavio 20, Torino

The international conference "Trees in/and/around Literature in the Anthropocene" takes place on 21st - 22nd May 2019 at Palazzo Nuovo (Sala Lauree di Scienze Umanistiche, via Sant'Ottavio 20, Turin).

Literature, among other arts, such as film, photography, the fine arts, is one of those privileged terrains where Trees enter our field of vision, our epistemic knowledge, our sensorial experience. In literary and artistic productions, Trees are ethically and aesthetically called into question (evoked, invoked, iconized, prized, even attacked), with the aim to identify, describe, or allegorize their singularities and specificities, or to pay homage to their material, literal, cultural, ethnic, and symbolic meaning through a variety of textualities.

The aim of this international and interdisciplinary conference is to discuss with scholars, artists, poets, experts in various fields in order to explore and assess the presence, value, and stance of Trees and Tree-like epistemic structures (arborescence vs rhizome, tree-shaped flows) in the Anthropocene.
