This one-day interdisciplinary conference features papers on the international artistic and literary idiom of Magic Realism that arose in interwar Europe and has since spread around the world. This elastic term, coined by German art critic Franz Roh in 1925, has been routinely applied to characterize representations of the real world in various media marked by strange or supernatural qualities that speak to psychological, social, and political alienation or to transcendental states. Presentations will explore the indeterminacy of the category of Magic Realism, and how it intersects with questions of identity, agency, and power from the 1920s to the present. https://www.centerforthehumanities.org/programming/figuring-magic-realism-international-interpretations-of-an-elusive-term ************************************** Steven Kowalik, MSLS [cid:[log in to unmask]]<https://library.hunter.cuny.edu/> Art Research Guide<http://libguides.library.hunter.cuny.edu/art-research> - set up consultation with Steven<https://library.hunter.cuny.edu/forms/class-request?request_type=2> Guide to Online Library Services<https://libguides.library.hunter.cuny.edu/onlinelibraryservices> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
