Join us as on Wednesday 13th November as we celebrate Robert Louis Stevenson day 2024 at the University of Edinburgh with an academic symposium reflecting on our project artworks, our cross-cultural collaborations and our future visions for Stevenson scholarship. Encompassing Adaptation Studies, Documentary Film Criticism, Postcolonial Literature and Environmental Humanities, this symposium brings together academics from every career stage, facilitating dialogue across disciplines and industries. Our incredible programme of speakers – including prominent graphic artists, Solomon Enos and Simon Grennan, documentary filmmakers, Dan Lin and Nick Stone, and poet and translator, Keao NeSmith – will probe Stevenson’s prevailing legacy across Scotland and Samoa in the context of his endless adaptations and adaptability. The symposium offers an extensive analysis of a wide range of the ‘Remediating Stevenson’ project outputs, from graphic novels, to film, to museum exhibitions, and poetry, and asks what’s next for Stevenson’s Pacific Fiction.
