No Limits in the French- and Spanish-Speaking Worlds
Elon University, Elon, North Carolina
Saturday, September 23, 2017
This one-day conference will examine perspectives on traversing physical or metaphorical limits or boundaries (geographical, national, social, identity, educational, etc.) in the French- and Spanish- Speaking Worlds. The poster session, however, will be open to all languages and cultures studied at Elon. Poster topics addressing any time period are welcome, and interdisciplinary works with a strong focus on the above themes are of interest. Analyses of multiple types of texts are encouraged: literary, cinematic, journalistic, etc.
