International Whitman Week 2010
University of Macerata, 14-20 June, 2010
The Transatlantic Walt Whitman Association announces its third annual Whitman Week, consisting of a seminar for advanced students interested in Whitman and Whitman’s poetry, and a symposium bringing together international scholars and graduate students. The Seminar and Symposium will be held at the University of Macerata, Italy, in the week of June 14-20, 2010, with the support of the Dipartimento di Lingue e Letterature Moderne.
Whitman remains a crucial figure for remembering and re-imagining the literary, critical, and political roles that poetry plays in the world. Through its yearly seminars and symposiums the association intends to explore and foster the artistic, democratic, and intercultural vision of Walt Whitman in the context of the need for improved European and transatlantic cooperation.
