Dear WP, 

The research discussion in question is part of a team research project that is currently in its early stages. As a result, there are no publications as of yet, however, there have been discussions about the possibility of turning these conference papers into a special addition of a journal. But we would not be able to confirm whether that's possible until sometime after the conference.

Sincerely,

As I'm rather new to this forum, I thought I would forward information regarding a conference I'm organizing on winter festivals and traditions at Oxford University. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Call for papers: Conference on Winter Festivals and Traditions at Oxford University, 25 March 2017


The Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology (ISCA) at Oxford University will be hosting a one-day conference on Saturday 25 March 2017. The conference will focus on ‘Winter Festivals and Traditions’ as part of a larger research discussion on ritual, religion and secularism in modern-day Europe. We invite participants with disciplines in anthropology, religious studies, cultural studies, folklore and similar professions. Topics for submission are not restricted to Europe, but can focus on traditions worldwide.  


The objective of this conference is to bring together various disciplines and departments to reconsider how folklore can be interpreted in order to understand the reasoning behind modern traditions in society. Our guest speaker, Dr Cesare Poppi, PhD (Cantab) of la Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI), will contribute to an invigorating discussion based on his extensive research on masked rituals and traditions in South Tyrol and Trentino, Italy and Northwestern Ghana.


Paper themes for consideration include, but are not limited to:


-          Mumming/ Masks

-          Neo-paganism, Wicca/ Witchcraft

-          Performance studies

-          Ritual and symbolism

-          Folklore and myth

-          Festivals, nationalism and the State

-          Identity politics

-          Museum studies

-          Religion and Secularism


Applicants should submit abstracts of no more than 250 words followed by a brief description of their background by 7 February 2017. Successful applicants will be notified by 15 February 2017.    

Please send your abstracts and any questions you may have to the convenor, Dr Ann Wand at: ann.wand(at)anthro.ox.ac.uk
