Dear colleagues,
We invite you to join us for a One Day Conference and Evening of Music and Poetry:
UNENCOMPASSING THE ARCHIPELAGO
14 November, 2015, Somerville College, Oxford
Keynote speakers: Norman Ackroyd, Philip Marsden
Where is the South West? The North? The East or the North East? The Far West?
From Aberdeen, South might mean Newcastle; from Sligo, it might be Cork; from Birmingham it might be the Isle of Wight. This day conference is open to anyone with an interest in the physical and cultural life of the unnameable Archipelago. Bringing together contrasting perspectives on the geography and character of these islands, Unencompassing the Archipelago aims to unsettle habitual notions, stimulate fresh enquiry and, in due course, deepen our understanding of the cultural, physical and social environment.
Participants include David Dwan, Nick Groom, Simon Kovesi, Meiko O’Halloran, Andrew McNeillie, Robert Macfarlane, Kirsteen McCue, Murdo Macdonald, Bernard O’Donoghue, Tom Paulin, Seamus Perry, Tim Robinson, Fiona Stafford, Peter Stothard, and Damian Walford Davies.
Followed by an Evening of Archipelagic Poetry, Prose and Music.
Please see attached ‘Day’ and ‘Evening’ programmes.
