Over the past two decades C. S. Lewis has not only persisted as a cultural icon, and his writings as cultural touchstones, but the impact of both his person and his work continues to reach into new mediums and find new expressions in fields he himself could not have imagined. Film, theatre, video games, board games, dance, sculptures, paintings, book illustrations, fanfiction – all join the continual burgeoning of academic papers and theses, biographies, monographs, personal blogs. Since their publication, Lewis’s writings have attracted a wide range of readership and thus an ever-widening range of interpretive responses, such as reading a Narnia novel as basic religious allegory, medieval cosmology, or covert criticism of communism. The process goes both ways, for there is a consistent acknowledgment that these works can, in turn, change perceptions, perhaps even entire worldviews. Of particular interest is how his works – and those of the Inklings in general – have been received, reflected or re-invented through different cultural lenses, societies, languages, and the varying resulting impacts on readers; the variances in apprehension and (re)interpretation in literary criticism and literary history.

The conference, aptly titled Facing Ideology and its Discontents, provided a fertile ground for intellectual discourse, drawing attention to the ever-evolving landscape of ideologies that shape our world through various mechanisms of our language(s).
