Language Games:

A Seminar on Language and Literature

Language Games is dedicated to all matters relating to language and literature, including linguistics, translation, language instruction, and literary experiments in language and their reception.

The round-table format of the seminar is designed to allow participants to share and workshop their ideas, stimulating further discussion and new insights on their subject.

We will generally avoid formal presentations.

We plan to have a flexible programme based on the interests of the group, in other words, we may dedicate several workshops to a particular topic or text, or move at a faster pace should we receive a large number of proposals for workshops

Our first meeting will take place on Wednesday at 24 September at 2pm in Room 1003 (on the first floor of the James Hardiman Research Building) and will begin with a discussion of selected passages of Ulysses and proposals for future workshops

We hope you can attend and would also like to invite you to submit proposals and ideas for future workshops by email. These should not be conceived as formal papers, but as round-table discussions of specific texts or other materials. Please send a short (max 100 word) proposal to irina.ruppo@nuigalway.ie
