Don Juan: Interdisciplinary Symposium

The Don Juan story is one of the most enduring of modern cultural myths, with retellings and versions spanning several centuries and occurring in the widest imaginable range of cultural forms and narrative media. This informal study day explored the diverse cultural manifestations of the Don Juan figure.

The day was open to graduate students, early career and established researchers. It included papers addressing the potential for teaching and researching the rich inheritance of the Don Juan myth, in a wide variety of media. The event was organised by the Literature and Music Research Group of the Open University and was hosted by the Institutes of Musical Research and English Studies. The convenors were Katia Chornik, Delia da Sousa Correa, Fiona Richards and Robert Samuels.
