*Cavafy’s Orient/ations*

The International Cavafy Summer School is an annual scholarly initiative of
the Cavafy Archive and the Onassis Foundation, the first of its kind,
devoted entirely to Cavafy and the impact of his work.

After the inaugural International Cavafy Summer School, which took place in
July 2017, themed “Cavafy in the World,” the second Summer School took
place in July 2018 and focused on the theme “Cavafy and Antiquity.” The
third Cavafy Summer School, whose theme is *“Cavafy’s Orient/ations,”* will
focus on the multiple (geographical, aesthetic, historical, etc.)
topographies and cultural dynamics of Cavafy’s work, and will approach the
Cavafy phenomenon in its broader geographical and historical range, both
during the period of Cavafy’s life in Alexandria and in subsequent decades
when his poetry became a major literary event at a global scale.


The International Cavafy Summer School 2019 will be led by Stathis
Gourgouris (Columbia University) and Takis Kayalis (University of
Ioannina);  In addition, the seminars will host a number of invited
speakers: Hala Halim (New York University), Peter Jeffreys (Suffolk
University), Alexander Kazamias (Coventry University), Vassiliki
Kolokotroni (University of Glasgow), Aamir Mufti (UCLA), and Yiannis
Papatheodorou (University of Ioannina).


A selected group of 12 junior scholars will have a unique opportunity to
attend world-class talks and to showcase new research. Doctoral students,
postdoctoral researchers and early-career academics whose work relates to
the fields of  Comparative Literature, World Literature, Cavafy Studies,
Modern Greek Studies, Classical Studies and related fields, and who would
like to take part in the International Cavafy Summer School are encouraged
to apply by *Thursday** 31 January 2018**.*
