principles of a set of beliefs, typically relies for guidance on one Book,
spurning all other books, and rejects any equivocal plurality of interpretations: there is but one book, one truth, one meaning. Literature on the
other hand implies a multiplicity of meanings and readings, a multiplicity of books, and endless intertextuality, with every new work providing
new readings and a rewriting of many other previous works. In other
words, literalness and literariness seem to belong to opposite poles.
Our post-modern world takes multiplicity for granted, but it is also the
locus in which fundamentalisms, especially of the religious kind, have
multiplied and thrived. For instance, among Evangelicals in the USA,
Islamist Muslims in many countries, Nationalist Hindus in India,
Orthodox Jews in Israel, etc., many are those who define themselves
and/or act as fundamentalists. Their hatred of books can take the
milder form of bans, or more radical forms such as harassment and
murder of authors.
The aim of this conference is to enquire into the relationships between
fundamentalism(s) and literature, an association that so far has been
rarely studied: literature can be for fundamentalism a sophisticated
propaganda tool, but in most cases literature becomes a privileged
platform of resistance to fundamentalisms and all forms of
essentialisms.
