In recent approaches to literary studies we notice a turning away from an (almost) exclusive attention to national literatures in favour of a variety of "transnational" approaches. One may here think of world literature and geocriticism, but also of the so-called "-phone" studies, i.e. anglophone, francophone, hispanophone, or lusophone. as well as increasingly also sinophone and other linguistically-inspired categories. Often, these approaches have a a postcolonial perspective, especially in the case of literatures in European languages, but sometimes an "imperial" point of view can also be noted, as has sometimes been argued with respect, precisely, to sinophone developments. However, it is equally possible to consider not necessarily linguistically but rather culturally, historically, or geographically related areas such as "Europe," the Americas (often now referred to as "hemispheric America"), the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, the Atlantic or the Pacific Rim, the Indian Ocean, or the Silk Road. The conference offers room for both synchronic and diachronic reflections on any or all of these approaches. The conference will bring together a number of leading international theoreticians, critics and literary historians of (a number of) the various developments sketched under the theme of the conference, such as David Damrosch (Harvard), Djelal Kadir (PennState), Longxi Zhang (Hongkong), Svend Erik Larsen (Aarhus), Hans Bertens (Utrecht, President ICLA), Ottmar Ette (Potsdam), César Domínguez (Santiago de Compostela), Jean Bessière (Sorbonne), Elleke Boehmer (Oxford) and Helena Buescu (Lisbon).
