DESCRIPTION:<p>This colloquium aims at analyzing and discussing the notion of narrative identity\, through a dialogue with the practices of literary creation. The extension of the narrative paradigm to personal identities originated in philosophy with authors such as Paul Ric&oelig\;ur and Charles Taylor and has been applied in a fertile manner in the social sciences. Likewise\, literary creativity presents many possibilities for the application of these notions\, as well as radical challenges. In the literary process\, identities are constructed and deconstructed\, transformed\, fragmented or unified in what seems to be an unending play that allows for many possibilities\, from the attempt of reaching a unified autobiography\, to the more radical explosion of fragmented identities\, of which the heteronyms of Fernando Pessoa are a paradigmatic case.&nbsp\;We invite submissions that explore topics related to a) narrative identities\, their construction or deconstruction\; b) the role played by imagination\, memory and the body in these processes\; c) the philosophical and/or psychological assessment of the multifarious literary figures assumed by selfhood\; d) the relation between literature\, lived experience and self-understanding\; among other possible topics. We will dedicate particular attention to contributions discussing these topics in the works of contemporary writers.</p>\n<p><strong>Invited writers</strong>: Ana Lu&iacute\;sa Amaral\, Ant&oacute\;nio Lobo Antunes\, L&iacute\;dia Jorge (TBC)\, Lu&iacute\;s Quintais\, M&aacute\;rio Cl&aacute\;udio (TBC)</p>\n<p>Abstracts (200-300 words) should be sent to&nbsp\;poeticselfhood@gmail.com</a>&nbsp\;The deadline for submissions is January 13\, 2014.&nbsp\;Notification of acceptance will be given by January 22.</p>\n<p><strong>Organization:&nbsp\;</strong>Project &ldquo\;Poetics of selfhood: memory\, imagination and narrativity&rdquo\; PTDC/MHC-FIL/4203/2012 (Centro de Filosofia da Universidade de Lisboa)\, in collaboration with the Centre de recherches sur les pays lusophones (Univ. de la Sorbonne Nouvelle\, Paris 3)\,&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Centro de Estudos de Comunica&ccedil\;&atilde\;o e Linguagens (Univ.
