Within and Without: Representations of Ageing: International Symposium III: Special Issue
Within & Without III is the third edition of the Within and Without Old Age: International Symposium on Representations of Ageing series and will be held on-line at the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (ULICES/CEAUL) on January, 9th, 2024.
It will provide an opportunity to exchange ideas on cultural ageing from multiple perspectives. Within & Without III is an international event bringing together scholars from different universities who will discuss and share research on age-related issues in order to establish new discourses and guidelines for ageing studies in general. The event will also reflect the need to continue speaking about gender equality, vulnerability and the responsibility for the well-being of others. Some of the speakers will include Professor Sarah Falcus (University of Huddersfield, UK), Professor Katsura Sako (University of Keio, Japan) and Professor Heike Hartung (University of Graz, Austria).
The event will be chaired by Professor Zuzanna Zarebska (CEAUL/ULICES/FLUL), the PI of the Women’s Lives in Time: Bodies, Homes and Voices: Ageing Women Research Project.
RHOSE 27 | “Ethic of Care: transgenerational praxis.”
The Australian writer Charlotte Wood is the author of several novels and books of non-fiction such as The Submerged Cathedral (2004), Animal People (2011), The Natural Way of Things (2016), The Weekend (2020), The Luminous Solution (2021) and Stone Yard Devotional (2023) among other works, for which she has won many distinguished prizes.
The Weekend belongs to the genre of Reifungsroman, the novel of growth and a (re)establishment of meaningful relationships in later life. It is a story of vulnerability, mourning and freedom that is not prior to responsibility for others but is manifested relationally. The Weekend tells the story of a lifelong friendship between four women. Jude, Wendy and Adel travel to celebrate Christmas in the Australian village of Bittoes in order to declutter Sylvie’s house before it is put up for sale after she has died of cancer. By doing so, they need to face the stories that have held them together in a “state of mutiny rather than stasis, a period of constant striving against the world, but also against oneself.” (Collins The Guardian, 2020)
Stone Yard Devotional tells the story of a woman who leaves her established yet failed life to enter a religious community of nuns on the inhospitable planes of Monaro in Australia, where she explores the idea of being in relation to and for others as the most fundamental experience of being alive. While using varied narrative techniques of introspection and re-storying the narrator’s reminiscing of the past is concerned with the notions of care, vulnerability and receptivity towards others.
This seminar will examine the ethos of care that The Weekend and Stone Yard Devotional inspired by the work of Emmanuel Lévinas and Judith Butler. We will look at the genre of Reifungsroman and the philosophical concepts of responsibility towards oneself and others, of experience of grief, reverence and self-care. Furthermore, we will analyze the incorporation of the motif of animal vs human life and their relationship to the environment seen as, paraphrasing Kathleen Woodward, a model of natural continuity. As will be argued, healing and regeneration are only possible in ethical relations that are inseparable, simultaneous and based on care.

American Studies Over Seas | A Parternship between ULisboa/CEAUL and Georgetown University
An academic and pedagogical programme will take place on 16 November as part of a collaboration with Georgetown University that CEAUL and DEA, with the support of American Corners, have been building. For the time being, it will be materialised in this American Studies Over Seas meeting.
In a hybrid format, online and face-to-face, with six of our researchers in Washington DC and many more here, the programme on 16 November starts at 9 a.m. in Washington DC and 1 p.m. in Lisbon (all times in the annex refer to Eastern Time). It would be a pleasure and an incentive for the protocol we are trying to establish if you could attend some of the activities, which include a transatlantic tribute to the “two Teresas”, scientific papers by younger and younger speakers (from both institutions), the presentation of the two volumes American Studies Over_Seas, as well as a discussion of good practices in inter-institutional protocols and research and teaching partnerships.
