Alexandre Gefen, member of the ICLA theory committee, and Frédérique Leichter-Flack have organized the conference Livres de voix : narrations pluralistes et démocratie (Books of Voice: Pluralist Narratives and Democracy). The conference is to take place on October 1, 2021, at Science Po in Paris. The aim is to rethink the notion of democracy from the perspective of narrative polyphony and its use between the polyphonic novel of the nineteenth century and the polyphonic non-fiction of the twenty-first. Abstracts of 3000–5000 characters along with brief bioblurbs are to be sent to gefen@fabula.org and frederique.leichterflack@sciencespo.fr before May 31, 2021.
