  Utopia in a Post-secular Society: at the Cross-sections of Literature and Philosophy

  48th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)

  An element that seems to characterize the 20^th century reflection on utopia is its secular nature. Through a re-thinking of the place and roles of religion in society, the post-secular turn we are witnessing in recent theory (Habermas, Taylor, Asad, Mahmood) may provide a critical point of departure for questioning this specific aspect of utopian tradition. In this panel, we invite papers that reflect on the relationship between utopia and religion, as it is worked out in 20^th century literature and philosophy: How does the place of the utopian tradition change in the context of the “return of the religion” in a post-secular society?

  Norms and Forms

  Le domaine littéraire se définit par des frontières, plus ou moins mouvantes selon les époques : inévitablement, celles-ci incluent, définissent et excluent. Au cours de ce colloque nous proposons d’explorer les enjeux de l’établissement des normes, des formes et des genres, tout aussi bien que les transgressions et les obéissances vis-à-vis de ceux-ci. En unissant une approche historique et un souci théorique, la question de la valeur littéraire et des modalités de son attribution seront également au cœur du colloque.
