An international conference, “The Art of Representation,” will be held on Steve Tomasula’s work, in the presence of the author,
on June 12th and 13th 2025, at Université Paris-Cité.
Keynote speakers: Mary K. Holland and David Banash.
With six novels, including a DVD novel, a story collection, an anthology of “conceptualisms,” and countless stories, critical contributions and essays on art, literature and culture, published over the course of twenty years, Steve Tomasula is considered a leading figure in innovative writing. Indeed, he has not only been pioneering new paths for the novel, exploiting multi-media interactions and cutting-edge technological resources, but has also been actively promoting literary experimentation, for instance as the founding father of the &Now festival of innovative art and the editor of numerous anthologies and essay collections.
This conference, held in the presence of the author, brings together specialists of Tomasula’s fiction and criticism, as well as researchers interested in innovative literatures, contemporary American literature, multi-media literatures and new-media literatures.
