This conference seeks to examine the transformations of epistolarity in a context where e-mails and instant messaging have gradually made letter writing marginal, if not obsolete. This shift in epistolary modes invites scholars to consider letters and their electronic counterparts from the viewpoint of materiality. This interdisciplinary conference organized by IMAGER (Institute for the Study of English-, German-, and Romance-language-speaking Spheres), at Université Paris-Est Créteil, France, will examine the intersection of letter-writing and materiality in English-, French-, German-, Italian-, and Spanish-speaking linguistic and cultural contexts.
