Alumni Hall, 121 St. Joseph Street, 4th floor, St. Michael's College, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON. 15 March 2003 8:00 - 18:00 Using the form of structuralism developed by the Prague School as a foundation, Professor Dolezel established his theory of fictional worlds, presenting it in numerous articles, presentations, and monographs. This celebration of Professor Dolezel's long career as a literary theorist and educator will entail discussion of both his intellectual heritage as a student of the Prague Linguistic Circle and his theory of fictional worlds. Along with papers dealing with the Prague Linguistic Circle and the fictional worlds theory of Professor Dolezel, a round-table discussion aims to assess the relevance of Prague School Structuralism in the context of contemporary cultural and literary theories. The keynote speaker will be Professor Roland Le Huenen, the director of the Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto and a longtime colleague of Professor Dolezel.
