Registration is now open for “Whatever Else”: An Irving Layton Symposium, May 3-5, 2013.
You are cordially invited to attend “Whatever Else”: An Irving Layton Symposium, the 41st installment of the annual Canadian Literature Symposium hosted by the Department of English at the University
of Ottawa. This will be 3-day gathering featuring paper presentations by 17 literary critics; a film screening and director’s talk by Donald Winkler (Poet: Irving Layton Observed, NFB 1986;
Red Carpet for the Sun, Diversus 2002); a round-table discussion
of Layton’s life and legacy with Layton biographer Elspeth Cameron,
anthologist, editor and poet Seymour Mayne, and poet-critic George
Elliott Clarke; a keynote address by Canada’s premier
Layton scholar, Brian Trehearne; and an evening of literary readings
and performances inspired by the Layton Reloaded poetry project.
Though
he was once a towering figure both nationally and internationally,
scholarly interest in Layton has dwindled since the mid-1980s. The goal
of the symposium is to demonstrate
the continuing relevance of Layton’s contribution to Canadian
literature and society by way of an examination of his work from a
variety of novel perspectives.
The registration cost is $90 for academics and full-time instructors ($45 for the under-employed and retirees).
There is no charge for graduate or undergraduate students, but
they must register in advance of the symposium. Registration forms can
be downloaded from the Canadian Symposium website at
www.canlit-symposium.ca

The goal of the symposium is to demonstrate the continuing relevance of Layton’s contribution to Canadian literature and society by way of an examination of his work from a variety of novel perspectives. The effect of the symposium will be two-fold: not only will it produce a credible and relevant body of original scholarship on the poet, it will also challenge and broaden the discourse of Canadian literary criticism by way of addressing a figure and a body of work that for almost two generations has proved resistant to the prevailing modes of critical analysis. The proceedings are balanced between papers and presentations geared towards the reappraisal of a career and those breaking new ground by reading Layton and his work in the context of questions and methodologies having emerged during the period of his neglect.
