We ask what kinds of intimacies have a life and how is intimacy influenced by normative life-narratives? What new intimacies emerge from this new attention and what effect do they have on our thinking, our aesthetics, ethics, and politics?

The 2022 edition of the Borders & Crossings conference series acknowledges more than two decades of intense development in the transdisciplinary study of travel writing, which is now a well-established field of research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

The present symposium is devoted to the theme of love and the depiction of emotions in Old Norse literature. All Old Norse genres will be in focus, the courtly translations as well as the native sagas and poems. Both the role of love and the description of it will be discussed. At the symposium, we will share our knowledge, present and discuss our ongoing research, test new perspectives, develop new methods and make new contacts for future collaboration.

Translation Studies systematically studies translation, interpreting, localisation, adaptation and similar rewriting practices.

Our scholars work on British, American, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Scandinavian, Canadian and Quebec literatures, above all on the 19th-21st centuries.
