On March 4 we announced “Going Caribbean! New Perspectives on Caribbean Literature and Art” [see Call for papers: Going Caribbean! New Perspectives on Caribbean Literature and Art] an International Conference to be held on November 2 – 3, 2009, at the Center for Comparative Studies at the University of Lisbon in Portugal. Our friend and colleague, Dr. Kristian Van Haesendonck, has just announced that their deadline for submissions has been extended until June 15.
“In an age of intensifying globalization and interdependencies, ‘being Caribbean’ means more than fashioning a particular identity. Being Caribbean refers to a complex, particular condition, which transcends regional boundaries. Who is Caribbean? And who is ‘going Caribbean’? This conference aims to open up new perspectives through the comparative study of fiction and art from the broader Francophone, Hispanic, Dutch, and Anglophone Caribbean as well as their respective Diasporas.”
