DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Astrid Møller-Olsen shares her ongoing researc
 h on how contemporary Sinophone works of fiction use botanical characters\
 , plant imagery and green environments to create alternative realities\, e
 xplore possible futures and deal with traumatic pasts. Through an interdis
 ciplinary theoretical framework based on critical plant studies\, environm
 ental humanities and gender studies\, Dr Møller-Olsen shows how plants fi
 gure as partly human monsters\, planetary partners\, or ecological avenger
 s in works by Chi Hui 迟卉\, Yan Ge 颜歌\, Dorothy Tse’s 謝曉虹\,
  Alai 阿来\, Chu T’ien-hsin 朱天心\, and Dung Kai-cheung 董啟章.

DESCRIPTION:In her research\, Astrid Møller-Olsen employs a framework of 
 sensory literary studies to explore the connections between memory and mat
 eriality in contemporary Sinophone fiction from Taipei\, Hong Kong and Sha
 nghai.  Dr Møller-Olsen engages with themes of scented nostalgia\, flavou
 rs in fiction\, walking as method\, literary cartography\, the melody of l
 anguage\, gendered cityscapes\, metafictional dreams and rhythmic senses o
 f time to study how contemporary cities change the way we think about time
 \, space and memory. \nAstrid Møller-Olsen has a doctoral degree in conte
 mporary Chinese literature and is currently working as a lecturer at the C
 entre for Languages and Literature\, Lund University\, Sweden. Current res
 earch focuses on theories of sensory literary studies and the spatiotempor

 iction.			\nSpeakers:\nDr Astrid Møller-Olsen (Lund University)
