Young researchers (master-, doctoral-, or post-doctoral level) who work in the fields of anglophone literatures and cultures, postcolonial studies, and cultural studies are warmly invited to join the discussion at the Postgraduate Forum Postcolonial Narrations. The forums second conference will take place at Goethe University, Frankfurt/Main, September 21-23, 2014.

The conference focuses on comparative approaches to postcolonial anglophone literatures and cultures in an era of globalization. Our program will feature research that employs, discusses or problematizes transcultural, transnational or transregional frameworks. The conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging ideas, presenting research, and constructively discussing current projects with other young scholars in the fields.

The conference will feature a keynote by Susan Arndt (University of Bayreuth), and a reading by South African novelist Troy Blacklaws. We also intend to foster a dialogue between academic researchers and professionals from the publishing industry with a panel discussion on the promotion, translation, and reception of postcolonial literature in the German public.
