Transcodification:
Literatures – Arts – Media

First Conference of the ICLA Research Committee on Literatures/Arts/Media (CLAM).

July 1-3 2021 – University of L’Aquila
Catherine’s Room 2001 Bill Viola

CLAM 2021 July 1-3 /Online Conference

In September 2020 we decided to make one final attempt to organise an in-person conference and to postpone CLAM to July 2021. Today, in the midst of the pandemic’s third wave, we must face the fact that we will not be able to guarantee our presenter’s safety in L’Aquila by this summer. Furthermore, travel restrictions could make it impossible for many presenters—even those residing in Italy—to actually reach L’Aquila.
For these reasons, we have decided to move our conference online. CLAM 2021 will take place virtually on July 1-3.

Here you will find the PROGRAM of the conference.
Here the PROGRAM OVERVIEW and the panel listings.

Here you will find some PRACTICAL INFO on how to attend the conference, and guidelines for panelists and chairs.

For any question or information—concerning both the conference’s logistics and program—do not hesitate to get in touch with us: clam2020conference@gmail.com.


The first CLAM conference Transcodification: Literatures – Arts – Media represents an invitation to investigate the principles and practices of transcodification across time and space, as well as to discuss re-mediation as an aesthetic category which implies fluidity, fragmentation and pluralization. The conference’s main purpose is to offer an intermedial perspective on fiction and the arts taking as a starting point the insights provided by the most recent developments in comparative literature.
