#18thc pals, pls RT: @kasiaiskasia.bsky.social & I are assembling a roundtable for the American Society for 18th-C Studies mting in Philly in April, on Olga Tokarczuk's 18th Century. Abstracts due 9/22. Pls help us think together about this fabulous novelist's wayward ways with our period & its 📚.
Olga Tokarczuk's Eighteenth Century, Co-chairs Katarzyna Bartoszyska and Deidre Shauna Lynch We are assembling a roundtable on the novels of Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk. We hope to identify other scholars who are interested in how her fiction lays claim to the legacy of eighteenth-century literature and philosophy, repurposing the Enlightenment’s encyclopedism and universalism and its concepts of print communications, the public sphere, and the trans-national republic of letters. How do we re-see our period —its modernity, its concerns with gender, nature, violence, nation—through the lens provided by this 21st-century Polish novelist? Alternately, how might we trace continuities from the eighteenth century to the present in the formal experiments or thematic concerns of novels such as Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and The Books of Jacob, and what new architectures of totality or concepts of voice might we discover by doing so?
