Folklore Studies Assoc. of Canada

Dear Colleagues,

I am posting this message on behalf of the Folklore Studies Assoc. of  
Canada and inviting you to join us in Cape Breton.  The call for  
papers follows:

CALL FOR PAPERS, Workshops or Roundtables for the 2008 Annual General
Meeting of FSAC which will be held at Cape Breton University, Sydney,
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia from May 22 to 25, 2008.

The Setting: Located on culturally distinct and diverse Cape Breton
Island, at the confluence of Mi'kmaq, Acadian, Irish, Loyalist, and
Scottish traditions, further enlivened by the multicultural influx of
industrialisation, Cape Breton University is the only university in
the Maritimes to offer undergraduate programmes in Folklore and
Ethnomusicology.

Themes: The context of Cape Breton suggests a number of themes:

Cultural tourism
Post-industrialism
Out-migration and diaspora
Romantic nationalism
Multiculturalism outside the metropolis
Proposals dealing with other topics will also be considered. As much
as possible, we would like to adhere to a plenary session format,
which would include: chaired discussions, round table discussions,
workshops, oral paper presentations, and visual display presentations.

For information, registration fees, and other details, please visit
