Call For Papers

The 45th AICA International Congress will be held under the aegis of AICA
Switzerland, on the theme, *Writing with Accents*. It will be preceded by
an optional hike in the Swiss mountains (6-8 July) and followed by a Post
Congress visit to Documenta 13 in Kassel, Germany (14-16 July).

The conference will be held mainly in English, though papers may be given
in any of AICA’s three languages (English, French, Spanish), with the
possibility of some hoc translation, for the discussion sessions. Each day
there will be a keynote speech, covering broad aspects of the main theme,
followed by short papers and working sessions with the participants.
