Taking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Pascale Casanova’s field-defining La République mondiale des lettres (The World Republic of Letters, 1999) as its point of departure, this conference seeks to decentralize the praxis of cultural reading and literary critique that the notion of Paris as the world capital of literature represents. Drawing inspiration from a host of decolonial projects that seek to renegotiate the terms in which we understand the world—a process that Walter Mignolo terms “epistemic delinking”—we seek to examine trans-peripheral and counter-hegemonic cultural infrastructures that flourished despite, in resistance to, and in the aftermath of colonial domination. This project is historical, but also oriented toward the present and, crucially, dedicated to rethinking the epistemic assumptions that undergird the study of literature and associated forms of cultural production in the present.

How can we use drawings and graphic narratives to develop and communicate our research? The Border Readings group at ILOS has invited researchers and artists, guest researcher Kari Korolainen and ILOS researcher Fabian Heffermehl, to share with us their thoughts and experiences of using drawing and graphic storytelling to think about their research problems – and thinking with their research materials – in visual and bodily ways. Welcome to this open discussion, if you are interested in exploring these possibilities or already have experiences which you might share.
