DESCRIPTION:Artistic Borders\, Social Barriers:\n\nContemporary Critical Di
 scourses in Film\, Literature\, and Translation \n\n \n\nUniversity - LLC 
 Graduate Student Conference – 26th April 2024 McGill\n\n \n\n \n\nThe conc
 epts of borders and boundaries are as urgent an issue today as it has been
  throughout history. Maintaining\, establishing\, breaching\, contesting\,
  and consenting to borders and boundaries entail endless cycles of negatio
 ns. This conference aims to explore how the aesthetic challenge of rethink
 ing borders between artistic mediums leads us to an ethical challenge of r
 ethinking borders between social subjects and structures.\n	 \n\nPapers are
  invited to reflect on the concept and function of borders in a wide conte
 xt within a literary\, film\, media\, gender\, and cultural studies framew
 ork. They may investigate the notion of borders\, boundaries\, margins and
  fringes through a lens of medium-specificity. Alternatively\, papers migh
 t explore social\, political\, or gendered spaces --real or imaginary– as 
 performative boundaries. Papers are encouraged to examine how notions of b
 orders and boundaries may influence or misinform our research and teaching
 \, addressing questions about the feasibility and desirability of interdis
 ciplinarity or multidisciplinary approaches.\n\n \n\nArtistic Borders\, So
