POST-COLONIAL STUDIES: THE NEW FACE OF WORLD LITERATURE

Post-colonial literature is at the moment one of the most prolific and the most studied literature genres. Works of authors such as Salman Rushdie, Chinua Acheb, Aimé Césaire, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Jamaica Kincaid are increasingly popular in our country. The goal of this discussion board is to bring together writers, critics and scholars to discuss the new trends in the post-colonial literature, with the special emphasis on Lusophone literature.

DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY, SOCIETY AND EDUCATION

Overcoming the non-critical fear of technology leads to the innovative use of information technology, which initiates changes in society and makes an impact on the education. Participants will discuss the changes brought about by digital technology and electronic communications in different social categories such as education, media, or politics.

STORY, MOVEMENT AND IMAGE: PROSE WORKS OF IVO ANDRIĆ ON TELEVISION AND FILM

What are the challenges of movie and TV adaptations of literary works? Were the adaptations of Ivo Anrić's prose works a success? Can we attempt to use the movies as a suitable media for the elaborate narratives of Ivo Andrić, rich with details? Is it possible to represent the narrator on film? Should we try to adapt Ivo Andrić's prose works into movies, or leave them as they are?
