Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Luigi Pirandello’s birth, this one-day conference sponsored by the Pirandello Society of America seeks a broad spectrum of contributions that evaluate and illuminate Pirandello’s legacies on world theatre, literature, cinema, and other media over a period of more than a hundred years. We encourage contributions that are interdisciplinary and engage with a variety of theoretical models when looking at Pirandello’s work and its multifaceted resonance.
Possible topics:
- Pirandello and media: theatre, cinema, performance, music, painting, and beyond
- Pirandello’s creative legacies: children and grandchildren of Pirandello
- Pirandellian mutations, transformations, dramaturgies
- World Pirandello: Pirandellian authors and works outside the Western canon
- Unfinished and ever-new: Pirandello “updated” across three centuries
- Pirandello and the power of experimentation
- Pirandellian techniques: applications and developments
Abstracts of 250 words in English for papers of 20 minutes duration should be sent to psa2017conference@gmail.com by April 15, 2017. Further information: https://blogs.baruch.cuny.edu/pirandellosociety/
