Contemporary Poetry in the Public Spaces <\/strong>takes place on\u00a022nd May 2013, 9 am – 5 pm in\u00a0County Main SR 1. <\/em><\/em>This\u00a0interdisciplinary workshop at Lancaster brings together researchers based in the UK and Canada for an afternoon of presentations and debates on contemporary poetry in the public space. Contributions will focus on poetry and poetic practices from the Americas and Europe, through an interdisciplinary and comparative framework and from a transnational and transcultural perspective.<\/p>\n

The workshop introduces the interdisciplinary research project \u2018Contemporary Poetry in the Public Space: Intervention, Transfer and Performativity\u2019, funded by the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation and based at the University of Santiago de Compostela. The international group of researchers associated with the project explores the ways in which poetry occupies, presents or actualizes itself, and intervenes in spaces shared by a community of citizens; whereby citizenship is interpreted as transnational. Poetry functions here as a conduit for, or act of translation between, different elements of public life. Research of the project\u2019s members\u2019 focuses on the ways in which poetry publicly interacts with and constitutes subjectivities, (trans) mediality, and space. This workshop seeks to initiate a dialogue between project members and colleagues from other UK institutions.<\/p>\n
