It probes genre-theoretically and genre-historically informed approaches to defining the political novel and to paradigmatically illustrate this mutable genre with respect to specific novels that emerged in heterogeneous contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference will provide us with an opportunity to critically examine and expand on the tentative definition of the political novel that we have formulated as a consortium: \u201cThe political novel in Europe is a set of procedures by which a novel is coded and decoded as political in a particular constellation of circumstances (epistemological, historical, literary, national, political and linguistic). It is hence identified through the complex process of reworking and becoming (reappropriation, repositioning and rearrangement of different sets of circumstances), resulting in the novel being recognised or even misread as political, a cross-genre more than a genre.\u201d The conference will also address a variety of methodological ways in which the political novel can be analysed, involving two interrelated levels of literary and cultural enquiry: text-immanent analysis and contextual (text-extrinsic) analysis. To this end, the speakers will historicise the various forms of the political novel and flesh out the aesthetic, epistemic, political, ethical, moral, etc. norms that guide both their own and historical understandings of what (does not) count as a political novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the run-up to the conference, we will publish a number of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caponeu.eu\/cdp\/novels\/desc\/1\" target=\"_blank\">text portraits<\/a> of the novels that will be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The conference will be streamed on our YouTube channel:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/4x1ihP6QCKo?feature=share&amp;fbclid=IwAR3V02eyuFWGYi2VkQDhDWntmQU41GdXzREYkHpkrtNLOeQOySZssQQgTaQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/4x1ihP6QCKo?feature=share<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday (including the round table): <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/fRV3V0ipqD8?feature=share&amp;fbclid=IwAR2dozyg6efk_7Mh4hvVniYKfELA7wN5coX1klzt2NMIS6gSlTbDFsrwKHs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/fRV3V0ipqD8?feature=share<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/xfVImXzmM78?feature=share&amp;fbclid=IwAR0wz7tmnQ8ORUtfAA-NXs5QqU7pDcsAZxkf2wWgaguIXmm34NmzNdIngHU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/xfVImXzmM78?feature=share<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday, 27 Sep 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.15 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eva Geulen, Zrinka Bo\u017ei\u0107, Patrick Eiden-Offe: Introduction<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.00 pm<br>Institutions of Genre<\/strong><br>Chair: Patrick Eiden-Offe (ZfL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Zrinka Bo\u017ei\u0107 (University of Zagreb): Rethinking politics of an unfinished project<\/li><li>Mark Devenney (University of Brighton): Thinking fictions of the political<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.00 pm<br>A Genre between Estrangement and Identification: Perceptions and Perspectives<\/strong><br>Chair: Ivana Perica (ZfL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Zvonimir Glava\u0161 (University of Zagreb): \u201cFrom Charlemagne to the title of the King\u201d: Political novel between estrangement and recognition<\/li><li>Tomasz Mizerkiewicz (Adam Mickiewicz University, Pozna\u0144): Perceptions in the political novels<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.45 pm<br>Fishbowl<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thursday, 28 Sep 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10.00 am<br>Identity, Social Stratification and the Politics of the Novel<\/strong><br>Chair: Christoph Schaub (University of Vechta)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Polina Mackay (University of Nicosia): Intersectional politics in the \u2018cancerland\u2019: Reading Natasha Brown\u2019s <em>Assembly<\/em><\/li><li>Marina Protrka \u0160timec (University of Zagreb): \u201cPerch\u00e9 i xe bestie?!\u201d Politics, race and exclusion in Vladan Desnica\u2019s <em>Zimsko ljetovanje<\/em> (The Winter Summer Holiday)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12.00 pm<br>The Political Novel and Political Readings of the Novel: Feminist Perspectives<\/strong><br>Chair: Christoph Schaub (University of Vechta)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mirela Daki\u0107 (University of Zagreb): What is novel in the political novel?
