Beckett and Vice
Harrah’s Resort Southern California
San Diego County, CA
Feb. 21-24, 2016
Keynote Speaker: S. E. Gontarski
Special Deadline Extension: October 9th
Beckett and Vice welcomes abstracts on the theme of “vice” in Samuel Beckett’s work. What is vice? Where does vice appear in Beckett’s poems, plays, fiction, or other art forms? Possible ideas for exploration:
Vice as a moral/ethical term
Vice as a tool/instrument
Vice as second-in-line
Religious and philosophical implications
Images of decadence vs. indigence
Hedonism vs. asceticism
Beckett and Vice will take place at Harrah’s Resort Southern California in beautiful San Diego County, CA. We will make an afternoon journey to the Temecula wine region for a wine tasting, and we will indulge in a decadent chocolate social hour. Famed Beckett scholar S.E. Gontarski will deliver a keynote address.
Please submit 250-word abstracts or inquiries to Dr. Paul Shields, Associate Professor of English, Assumption College, [email protected].
