The Department of Comparative Literature is hosting this year's annual meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association, which will bring some 400 scholars from around the world to campus Friday-Sunday, Feb. 25-27.
The theme of the conference is "Interdisciplinary Studies: In the Middle, Across or In Between?" In keeping with that theme, the participants will represent a wide range of disciplines, from the humanities to the social and natural sciences.
The event will include 40 seminars addressing such topics as "Biomedical Sciences and Popular Culture," "Fictional Histories/Historical Fictions," "Deadly Aesthetics" and "Text to Screen/Screen to Text," among others. A complete program can be found online at www.yale.edu/complit/acla2000.htm.
