Frontiers in Comparative Metrics IV
An International Conference
December 18-19, 2020, Tallinn, Estonia
The conference Frontiers in Comparative Metrics IV will be held on 18th and 19th of December 2020, in Tallinn. It is organized by the Departments of Classics and Semiotics at the University of Tartu and the Department of Cultural Theory at Tallinn University. The language of the conference is English.
The fourth conference in the series is dedicated to the memory of Marina Krasnoperova (1941–2010), a distinguished Russian scholar of versification. A mathematician and linguist by education, she devised a novel approach to the problems of verse analysis and created a theory of reconstructive simulation of versification, which allows to describe the typology of mechanisms of versification in different languages.
We invite proposals for papers on the following topics :
· Statistical method in verse studies
· Automatized analysis of versification
· Theory and typology of verse forms
· Comparative metrics : theory and interpretations
· Frontiers in Indo-European and Fenno-Ugric metrics
· Non-European poetic systems
· Prosody and poetics of oral versification
· Semantics of metre and rhythm
· Rhythmification of prose
· Dramatic verse in original and in translation
· Poetic forms in translation
Other proposals for papers that are related to the usual themes of the conference are also welcome.
The time allotted for each speaker is 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion).
Please send your abstract by April 1, 2020 to maria.lotman@ut.ee. Be sure to include your contact info and details with your abstract (first name, last name, title, email, affiliation, field of research, postal address, and phone number).
Acceptance will be notified personally via email by June 30, 2020.
