On day one of #Woolf2018 at the University of Kent in Canterbury there were lots of choices. The program for the 28th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf offers six different panels of experts in the morning and another six in the afternoon. I believe I chose well.
Here are the two excellent panels I picked Thursday, along with twitter reports on them, as well as the keynote lecture from Claire Davison of the Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris 3 on “European Peace in Pieces? Woolf, Music and the Radiophonic Imagination.”
Apologies for not having the energy to write more and for such dim photos. The rooms in which the panels were held were dimly lit to allow for slides.
Woolfian Artists
- Ane Thon Knutsen (Oslo National Academy of The Arts), ‘Reading Woolf from the Type Case Perspective: Finding Artistic Freedom through “The Mark on The Wall”’
- Adriane Little (Western Michigan), ‘Virginia Woolf Was Here’
- Luz Novillo-Corvalán (UNC, Argentina) ‘Portraits of Radical Women: From Anaïs Nin to Virginia Woolf’ Note: Luz also created the conference graphic.
Propaganda and the Press
- Judith Allen (Pennsylvania), ‘Intersections: Propaganda and Just War Theory’
- Trudi Tate (Cambridge), ‘Virginia Woolf and The Times: Lies, War, and Democracy’
