Lyd- og fotoudstilling om den voksende afrikanske middelklasse åbner på Toftegårds Plads i Valby d. 12. april.

The conference intends to discuss the relation between literature, media and sound in various perspectives and constellations, thereby hoping to establish stronger links between different theoretical positions, such as Media Studies, Comparative Literature, Intermediality Studies and Sound Studies.
The relation between literature, media and sound is facing severe changes and new challenges due to technological developments. E-books and audiobooks are currently through smartphones, tablets and online streaming making rapid gains in popularity and distribution.
