Tuesday 30 October – Wednesday 31 October 2018

Saramago Conference
From the Land of Sin to the Fields of Blood
An international conference to mark the 20th anniversary of the award of the Nobel Prize to José Saramago
King's College London, 30-31 October 2018
Over half a century separates José Saramago’s first novel from Dulce Maria Cardoso’s Fields of Blood. This conference considers the dual challenges faced by the authors as citizens: on the one hand, to manifest in their writing the contemporary questions that impact on their lives, whilst on the other they are expected to regard the book as an aesthetic object to be judged as such by generations to come.
This conference wishes to address how the authors express a distinctive voice whose tone reverberates both nationally and internationally and in particular how their works take prominence in discussions of current affairs and politics whilst interweaving analysis of an oft tumultuous past. Papers will cover a wide variety of themes in Saramago’s own work, as well as on the work of Lusophone writers published in the last 50 years, and studies of translation, visual arts, screen and theatre adaptations.
Confirmed speakers:
Dulce Maria Cardoso will read from her work.
Margaret Jull Costa will lead a translation workshop.
Ana Paula Arnaut (Coimbra), Paulo de Medeiros (Warwick) and Jeronimo Pizarro (Los Andes) will give the keynote lectures.
