ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Given the long and rich history linking these two terms, this question is obviously rhetorical. rhetorical. Its merit, however, is to draw attention to the meaning of an association that has become commonplace: what does the term "political" mean when used as an adjective to describe literary?
