One of the main focuses of the conference is indigenous literature, but the conference in general discusses literary critique as a dynamic field of study that brings together aspects of language, identity and the politics of place. Questions that we will deal with are for example: What are the boundaries and possibilities of current theories of literature and methods when studying indigenous literature, migrant literature, diaspora literature or other literary formations challenging our understanding of temporality and location in Nordic literature? Even though literature is the main focus of this conference other media that border to literature, such as film and music, are also of interest, especially if treated as an expression of intermediality.
