The World Congress of Scottish Literatures: Call for Papers <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth World Congress of Scottish Literatures will be held from the 3rd to the 7th July 2024 at the University of Nottingham in England. The Congress is a major international gathering of scholars with a research interest in the study of all Scottish literatures, across all of Scotland\u2019s languages, with an emphasis on Scotland\u2019s place in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the fourth World Congress does not have a specific theme, our scope is transnational, and we would especially welcome papers on subjects that reflect the specific context of the Congress in Nottingham: the relationship between Scotland and England from earliest times to the present, a relationship which has had profound implications for the entire world, and which is a significant relationship in literatures in Scots, Gaelic, English, French and Latin from earliest evidence to contemporary production. Under this broad umbrella, we hope to address the following strands: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Scoto-English relationships: personal, inter-textual, political, cultural and historical<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Scotland in Empire and the Empire in Scotland <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Outlaws, outliers and exiles <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 My enemy\u2019s enemy is my friend: Gaelic literary relationships beyond Scotland – Shaped by Landscape: literary understandings of land, sea and the environment – Scottish writing and World Literature <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Scottish medievalisms and the premodern use of the past <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Ultima thule: early Scottish engagements with Europe <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Outward-looking Romanticism <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Post-Couthy: literature in Scots since the Unions <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Drama, theatre and performance <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Contemporary Gaelic literature and media <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Diasporic writing: Scotland in a global world <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposals for papers, posters and presentations should include an abstract of c. 200 words, and your affiliation. Papers in English, Scots or Scottish Gaelic are welcomed; however, the conference is unable to provide simultaneous translation services for papers not delivered in English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for ALL proposal submissions is 31 October 2023. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
