Dear !subscriber_name, this is the 16th installment of European Narratology Network newsletter. We remind you that registration for ENN 5 in Prague is open and that we eagerly await your abstracts at http://www.enn5.cz . We are also looking forward to your opinion on the ENN membership poll. Please direct your browser to this link prior to March 31.  The narratology community deplores the passing away of two leading figures within the discipline, Lubomír Doležel and Tzvetan Todorov. Both are commemorated by contributions mentioned in the "new publications" section below.This is the first "full html" newsletter to be sent out to all ENN members via the new website http://www.narratology.net. You can also read this newsletter online here. The ENN website should now more faithfully reflect and represent the current ENN membership, which is approaching the number of 1000 members. Happy reading!

CFP: Preconference Doctoral Seminar "Cognitive Narratology Today" (Prague, September 11–12, 2017)

Preconference Doctoral Seminar

Cognitive Narratology Today

Prague, September 11–12, 2017

In conjunction with the 5th International Conference of the European Narratology Network, a preconference doctoral seminar on cognitive narratology will be held. The doctoral seminar will be primarily devoted to the topics connected with general narratological and poetological concepts such as Fictional Characters and Their Minds, Time and Temporality, and Reader, Reading and Interpretation as viewed from the cognitive perspective. Both, proposals with theoretical perspectives and particular analyses are welcomed. 

Applicants for the seminar must be doctoral students during the 2017–2018 academic year. At the end of the course, the participants will receive a diploma.

Prospective participants are asked to send a 500-word description of their doctoral research together with their résumés and institutional affiliation via the registration form at www.enn5.cz. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2017.

The seminar will consist of an introductory lecture, delivered by the leader of the seminar and keynote speaker, prof. Monika Fludernik (University of Freiburg), and of four working sections to which the participants will be distributed according to their particular topics. The seminars will be led by four supervisors, who are experts on particular topics. Each student will present their topic (10–15 min), after which the supervisor’s comment on the topics, and a discussion, will follow.  

Registration fee: conference: 165€; PhD students: 85€

(PhD students participating in both, the seminar and also in the conference, will pay 85€ only)

How to update your online ENN profile

* The profile data related to your narratological interests are to be found under the separate tab "Personal information". Please also indicate whether you wish to receive the newsletter.  You may also upload a profile piccture and enter your ORCID ID.

* If you no longer know your password, you may gain access to an existing ENN profile by following the "Request new password"-routine. If the email address linked to your ENN profile is no longer valid, please drop us a line at enn4@ugent.be

* Returning visitors may now access the website via SSO (Single-Sign-On). This means that you can login via credentials used for logging into Facebook, Google, Linkedin, on the condition that the email address attached to this external login corresponds with the one used within the ENN membership database and [2] that you provide the correct credentials for the external login! This feature is still somewhat experimental and may function better with some providers rather than others. Given that you may have forgotten your ENN website login by now, SSO is a viable alternative to following the "New password"-procedure (which remains possible too, of course.) Using SSO is not encouraged for creating new accounts.

* In case of problems, please contact us via email: enn4@ugent.be.
