Call for papers

Fragmented Lives

The IABA World Conference 2024 will be held at the University of Iceland in collaboration with the Centre for Studies in Memory and Literature 12-15 June 2024. The theme of the conference is ‘Fragmented Lives.’ We invite proposals for individual papers or panels of 3-4 papers as well as round-table suggestions on that theme.

The world is fragmented in different ways in our times, due to wealth disparity, migration, and the continuing climate catastrophe. The digital revolution means that lives are now lived online as well as off – where fragmented identities and selves are played out. The recent pandemic can also be said to have fragmented our sense of time. This in turn shapes life writing and self-expression. As Eva Karpinski has argued ‘the autobiographical fragment is uniquely suited to address the discontinuities and ruptures of history, exp

Auto/biography in Transit

May 29-June 1, 2014 at the Banff Centre, Canada

The IABA Canada conference team welcomes submissions for the ninth IABA conference, to be held at the Banff Centre in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This conference will focus on the themes of transit and transition as a way to think about how lives, narratives and other forms of self representation are constantly in motion. What does it mean for texts and identities to be in transit across national borders, genres, media and languages? The study of auto/biography and life writing is also in transit: where have we been, and where should we be going as a field?

In Alberta, Canada, a place that has often been conceptualized as the “frontier,” we invite proposals from a wide range of disciplines about what it means when identities and representations of many kinds push at political and conceptual boundaries.

Topics can include but are not limited to the following:

· The state of the field—past trajectories, new directions

· Genre, social
