Desire is another theme which has found its way into major criticism of Hardy&#8217;s work &#8211; the first item in the series being J. Hillis Miller&#8217;s <em>Distance and Desire<\/em> (1970). This seminar will explore the relation between desire and the gaze in Hardy&#8217;s work. Is the eye an &#8220;expressive eye&#8221; (Bullen), which makes manifest the &#8220;positive, dynamic and productive dimension of desire&#8221; (Thomas), or is it &#8220;the evil eye&#8221;, &#8220;full of voracity&#8221; (Lacan)? We will welcome proposals opening new directions in Hardy criticism, linking the desiring subject \/ the power of the gaze \/ the writing process.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>ESSE-13, August 22-26 2016, Galway.

In literature, the early possibilities of technology inspired masterpieces such as Mary Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein. Technology in its commodifiable forms was a major preoccupation of literary artists at the beginning of twentieth century. This seminar will focus on modernist fiction with the intention to seek productive perspectives on the intersections of literature and technology, with special emphasis on the contribution of the latter to the modernist quality of the first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following ESSE-13 (2016) Conference seminars have extended their paper proposal deadlines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1138"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1149,"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1138\/revisions\/1149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essenglish.org\/messenger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
