This international symposium will explore representations of aquatic life in literature, the arts and the humanities in general, building on recent thinking such as writing the ocean through “thalassopoetics”, a concept coined by Isabelle de Vendeuvre, or following on from the EASLCE “Sea More Blue” congress held in Perpignan in 2024. The symposium thus investigates the writing of aquatic life through multidisciplinary papers and invitations to artists and writers who contribute to what we call “aquapoetics”, or writing about water.
Proposals for papers (in French or English) of around 300 words, accompanied by a bio-bibliographical note (5 lines), should be sent by February 7, 2025 to the following address: vieaquatique2025@gmail.com
