News of an international online journal and a symposium/festival on Corfu in June 2019
ISLANDS OF THE MIND
Corfu, Greece
24-28 June 2019
The festival symposium will examine aspects of Island Studies, focusing on:
-indigenous island writing compared with writing by the “visitor”
-the literature and psychology of “islomania” – the “affliction of spirit” for those “who find islands irresistible”
-the study of islands as a microcosm of biodiversity
-the “tourist gaze” and tourism as a dimension of island development
