FWD: Australian Conference on Perceptions of Celts

[Elizabeth J. Pyatt]

Not exactly linguistics, but a Celtic conference is being planned in Australia


The University of Melbourne
Department of History

Conference call for papers

Us and Them:  perceptions, depictions and descriptions of Celts

Thursday 24 August to Saturday 26 August 2006

Papers are invited from history, archaeology, anthropology, onomastics,
literary and cultural studies and related disciplines, in any period from
prehistory to the present.  The conference will focus on the theme of
perception and presentation of Celtic peoples by others and by themselves,
engaging with the problematisation of the term 'Celtic' over the past 20
years, and inviting consideration of the application of cultural and ethnic
identifications.

Submissions should take the form of an abstract of no more than 200 words
for a 20-minute paper (followed by 10 minutes of question time).  Abstracts
should be forwarded to the conference convenor by 30 May 2006.  Please
include contact details with your abstract.
