CLIC is very excited to invite you to the 14th CLIC Day on 6 December 2024 at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Building D, Pleinlaan, Elsene), which is devoted to the theme of Multilingualism and Literature.
Bringing together scholars from different disciplines such as cultural studies, intermediality studies, translation studies, and comparative literature, the 14th Annual Study Day of CLIC offers a new engagement with multilingualism as a theoretical concept, analytical category, textual practice and lived experience in the study of literature.
The invited keynote speakers are Prof. Dr. Jo Angouri and Dr. Zeena Faulk from the University of Warwick, who will present on 'Disciplines in Dialogue: Translation at the Intersection of Literary Studies and Applied Linguistics'. For more info, click here.
