Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, the ENN6 Conference had to be postponed. We are now able to announce that 

‘Gaslight’ Narratives in Virtual Landscapes: Narratological Implications of Technologically Mediated and Immersive Media 

will take place from September 15-16 2021 (pre-conference doctoral seminar: September 14 2021). 

When Gregor Samsa and his relatives realize that the protagonist of The Metamorphosis has become a cockroach, their world is shaken not because he is no longer a man, but rather because he cannot go to work anymore. Therefore, Gregor’s metamorphosis is only relevant for fiction from the moment new ways of perceiving things irrupt and highlight the shackles of a society imprisoned in its material concerns.
