Lincoln University, 21st century writing conference

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 16:00:50 +0000

“What is happening now in 21st century writing, drama and theatrical performance? Who have emerged as the significant and innovative writers and performers in the first decade of the new millennium? Is it possible to track and trace new trends, characteristics and paradigms in work published and performed since 2000? What older preoccupations and traditions remain structuring features of 21st century writing and theatrical performance? What are the key concerns of critical theory over the last ten years?

This conference aims to address some of these questions and to provide a focus and forum for those interested in what writing and drama have to say in the new millennium.”
