Since 2010, Trial and Error Colloquium takes place at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile every year, thanks to the Facultad de Letras’ Student Council and the very important support of Dirección de Extensión de la Facultad de Letras UC. This instance first arose from a group of students of our Faculty interested in strengthening spaces of mutual participation and discussion for undergraduate students, academics and professionals related to literary studies.


During the previous three versions of Trial and Error Colloqium, one of the principal goals has been generating and fortifying a space for meeting and sharing different point of views in relation to literature and its study. This goal is consolidated today as the most important basis that motivates the organization of the IVth Trial and Error Colloqium 2013.


Once again, the Organization Committee of IVth Trial and Error Colloquium 2013, along with the Facultad de Letras’ Student Council and Dirección de Extensión de la Facultad de Letras UC of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, wishes to extend this call for papers to all undergraduate students interested in literary studies, from Chilean or other foreign countries universities.
