Meeting Description:

PCCS meetings provide a forum for high quality papers on a variety of aspects
of Celtic Studies. We also invite papers on sociolinguistics of the Celtic
languages. This year the event will be held concurrently with the Celtic
Sociolinguistic Symposium, also in its fourth edition.


Call for Papers:

The Centre for Celtic Studies at the Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz
University in Poznań, Poland is pleased to invite established scholars and
early career researchers to submit abstracts for thematic sessions or general
session papers (max. 300-350 words plus bibliography) for talks of 20 minutes
plus ten minutes of discussion, which will take place during 9-11 October
2020. Please submit your paper proposals via email to pccs at wa.amu.edu.pl 

PCCS meetings provide a forum for high quality papers on a variety of aspects
of Celtic Studies, including histories of the Celtic regions, Welsh / Irish /
Scottish Gaelic / Breton literatures, Celtic folklore, archaeology, teaching
of Celtic languages, and cultures of the Celtic countries.
We also invite papers on sociolinguistics of the Celtic languages. According
to Monica Heller, we are currently witnessing the creation of ‘new spaces’ for
minorities to express themselves, while producing tensions which exist between
the ‘idealized’ monolingual nation state and supranational structures and
processes (Heller 1999: 339). While this greater awareness of the ‘minority
condition’ is surely to be welcomed, we can nevertheless observe a decrease in
the number of opportunities to use many minority languages in what have come
to be seen as their traditional domains. This can be interpreted as a cause
for regret, since the link between language and identity is such that without
a strong (or even symbolic) demographic of minority language speakers, a
particular national or regional identity can be perceived as weakened or
diluted, both by minority language community members and members of the wider
community as well.
The aim of the sociolinguistic aspect of the conference, then, is to explore
these tensions and ‘new spaces’ within Celtic sociolinguistics, in particular
to 'locate the discursive spaces and identify what resources are circulating,
who has access to them, and what they make of them' (Heller 2011: 193). What
challenges do individual speakers of Celtic languages face, and how are these
mirrored and expanded at community level? How are ‘new spaces’ being created
for Celtic languages and what sort of resources are being mobilised in order
to create them and by whom? How are these new spaces contested or celebrated? 
In addition to ‘language-as-a-resource’, the focus can include other aspects,
such as material culture and cultural heritage as well.

The deadline for proposal submissions is 14 January 2020. Please send an
abstract – of no more than 350 words plus references, if necessary – to
pccs at wa.amu.edu.pl When applying, please state if your paper is for the
general Celtic sessions, or the Celtic sociolinguistic sessions. Successful
applicants will be notified by 14 February 2020.
Selected papers will also be considered for a post-conference publication in a
special issue of a peer-reviewed academic journal Studia Celtica Posnaniensia.
