There will also be an attempt to examine literary texts of authors who crossed the border between the two countries and came to reside in the other region as did, for instance, Elizabeth Spencer and Clark Blaise. Additionally, the reciprocal exchange of other modes and art forms will be studied. Keeping in mind that the culture of the Cajuns in Louisiana is an offshoot of the ethnic heritage of the Acadiens we will also reflect on the interconnections between the Maritimes and the Deep South.
During the seminar, participants will also benefit from the expertise of a leading scholar in Southern literature and culture, Robert Brinkmeyer, Director of Research at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, who is expected to participate in the seminar in June.
