CALL FOR PAPERS
The University of Sunderland - Third Annual Irish Studies Conference
(incorporating the inaugural North East of England Celtic Studies
Symposium)
11-13 November 2005
Word, The Icon and The Ritual [ii] - Lands of Saints and Scholars
Following the success of its last two international conferences:
Representing-Ireland: Past, Present and Future, [2003] and The Word, The
Icon and The Ritual, [2004] the University of Sunderland is soliciting
papers for an interdisciplinary conference, which will run from 11-13
November 2005. This year we are also delighted to welcome proposals from
scholars working within the broad field of Celtic Studies.
The conference organisers hope to represent a wide range of approaches
to Irish and Celtic culture from academics and non--academics alike.
Performances, roundtables, collaborative projects, and other
non--traditional presentations are encouraged in addition to conference
papers. As with last year’s conference, we welcome submissions for
panels and papers under the thematic headings of: The Word, The Icon,
The Ritual in the following areas: Literature, Performing Arts, History,
Politics, Folklore and Mythology, Ireland (other Celtic
countries/regions) in Theory, Anthropology, Sociology, Art and Art
History, Music, Dance, Media and Film Studies, Cultural Studies, and
Studies of the Diaspora. North American and other international
scholars, practitioners in the arts, and postgraduate students are all
encouraged to submit proposals to the conference organisers. We also
welcome proposals for papers in absentia for delegates who wish to
participate but may find it difficult to attend the event.
The last two conferences have resulted in the publication of a selection
of essays, and we hope to continue this with essays from this year’s
conference.
