Patrick Henry College’s Literary Colloquium 2016  Patrick Henry College is accepting paper proposals for both academic and creative submissions on the colloquium theme “Death.” Abstracts are due by midnight on January 31st, 2016. The submission deadline for all papers is April 1st, 2016. Abstracts are to be no more than 300 words in length. Papers should be 10-20 pages in length.  The writer’s presentation should be 15-20 minutes long. The colloquium itself is set to take place at Patrick Henry College on April 23, 2016.  The Patrick Henry College Literary Colloquium is put on by a group of undergraduate literature students at Patrick Henry College, with the interest of promoting lively and relevant discussion of literary topics. We believe that literature should not be simply left in the classroom, that the study of literature ought to be taken up and applied in the context of everyday culture and experience. Dialoguing about these matters is part of how we learn and grow as human beings, cultivating a deeper appreciation of art and meaning. This call goes out, then, to other undergraduate students to bring what stories or research they have concerning the colloquium theme. The colloquium board seeks to create an environment and opportunity for the presentation and evaluation of both original literature and literary criticism.  The theme of this year’s literary colloquium is Death. From Ancient tragedy to Medieval art, from Renaissance theatre to Gothic literature, artists have wrestled with the idea and representation of Death. If Death has a face, how does it show itself to men? Is Death merely the 2Honorable Mention, Vol. 2 [2016], Iss. 2, Art. 3http://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/honorable_mention/vol2/iss2/3end of the journey, or a journey in and of itself? Is it Hobbes’ “great leap in the dark,” or Dante’s katabasis?  This spring, the colloquium invites artists and critics to explore the theme of Death in art, literature, theatre, and film. The colloquium will examine papers that   Comment on the various personifications of Death and what those personifications imply about Death’s character.  Meditate on Death’s threatening message to live morally, noting which moral lessons Death addresses and how it teaches those lessons.  Notice the relationship between Death and Life and what harmony, or tension, exists between the two.  Otherwise contribute to the discussion by relating the theme of Death to contemporary and/or historical culture.
