Metafiction(s):

Literary Theory and Intermedial Comparatism

Granada, Spain.

This year's summer school

This Year Summer School ASETEL focus on meta-fiction related to Literary Arts and Media. The thematic area selected for the fourth edition of the School responds to the need to tackle—from different methodologies and areas: narrative, poetry, drama, film, performance — a relevant space among the most recent trends in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature, while being transversal enough to appeal students coming from different disciplinary profiles (Humanities and Social Sciences).

Languages of the school

The seminars and workshops taught by invited foreign professors will be held in English, but the School will use both English and Spanish as its languages of communication.

Main goals

Providing high-level international doctoral training

The School aims to provide the consortium of doctorate programs with a cutting edge international doctoral activity through visiting researchers linked to ASETEL.

The School offers its participants a unique opportunity by providing direct contact with leading international figures and national specialist researchers belonging to the ASETEL network and the Doctoral School in Humanities, Social and Legal Sciences (UGR) in the research domain selected.

Providing students with the opportunity of presenting an outline of their dissertation projects

The School offer our students the possibility of presenting the research plan of their doctoral thesis projects in order to receive feedback from the invited professors such as tutor teachers and chairs (both from ASETEL and from the participating EIP doctoral programs).

Offering students the possibility of creating their own research networks

It also enables the students with the formation of a research network among the participants themselves, multiplying their contacts on both a national and an international level. They will benefit greatly from this in their future as researchers.

Providing guidance on academic career

Last but not least, it provides guidance on the development of the academic career, as well as information on possibilities and better options for the publication and dissemination of each doctoral thesis in its specific field of study, these being theoretical-literary, comparative, cultural studies, etc.
