Authors as Characters in Fiction, Film and Graphic Narratives
12-13 mars 2026
MSH Lorraine 91 avenue de la Libération - NANCY (France)
The aim of this international and interdisciplinary conference is to understand the fetishisation of English-speaking canonical authors (such as William Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Henry James, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley, D. H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway), the ‘versioning’ (Silver xvi) of their texts and images, the fabrication of myths which are ‘endlessly repeated and woven into culture’ (Miller xiii), the relationship between auctoriality and celebrity, and artistic and historiographic representations.
