This two-day conference was structured around twelve panel sessions on specific, yet extremely varied, topics such as: knowledge flows and the \u201cGlobal\u201d Atlantic; women\u2019s trans-Atlantic writing; migration; travel fiction; epistolary texts; diasporic literature; music; photography; cinema and theatre and also mass media and communication in trans-Atlantic relations. The notion of a \u201ccommon\u201d Atlantic identity within contemporary political and socioeconomic scenarios was explicitly challenged in the presentation of the Research Project \u201cAtlantic Future\u201d. Lively discussions followed the plenary lectures by Professor Charles Forsdick (U Liverpool) and Michael Cronin (Dublin City U) who distinctively focused on the movement and circulation of cultural products and offered exceptionally engaging explorations of translation, mobility and hospitality across the Atlantic. The conference also offered a venue for the remarkable readings of writers Evelyn Conlon (Not the Same Sky, 2013) and Owen McCafferty (Titanic, 2012). With stimulating conversations over coffee breaks, receptions and dinner, the event did succeed in generating a sense of fellowship and community. The organizers of the Vigo conference look forward to future Atlantic encounters whether in Porto or Belfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
