SOMMARIO:

- Forum for Modern Language Studies - Forum Essay Prize 2011
   "Literature and the Law"

-------------------------------------

**The Forum Essay prize 2011: Literature and the Law**

Important work in the humanities is taking place where law and 
literature intersect: in the study of hate speech under the rubric of 
performative language; in the study of copyright and intellectual 
property law as part of the material culture of literature; in the 
study of forensic genres of literature, from revenge tragedy to the 
contemporary policier. What can literature tell us about the law? How 
does literature evoke the law to illuminate other subjects? In which 
ways do the two influence one another? What points of reference 
enable, or delimit, their interactions?

The 2011 Forum Prize competition invites submissions on the subject 
of Literature and the Law, addressing literature of any period, and 
in any of the languages covered by the journal (usually English, 
French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian, but we will consider 
others too). The competition is open to all researchers, whether 
established or early-career: it is worth noting that previous 
competitions have been won by scholars in both categories.

*The Forum Prize*

The winner's prize will consist of:

1. Publication of the winning essay in the next appropriate volume of 
Forum for Modern Language Studies

2. A cash prize of GBP 200
