Meeting Description:

Since the inaugural ICMRSLL, scholars of medieval and early modern Scottish
literature and language have gathered on a triennial basis to explore, build,
and promote the study of Older Scots literate culture. Thanks to the work done
through and beyond these conferences, Older Scots has matured into a field of
study notable for its disciplinary and methodological breadth. In 2020, the
ICMRSLL once again invites delegates to contribute to the growing body of work
on Scottish texts and culture from the 14th to 17th centuries. While ICMRSLL
remains ecumenical in the range of work presented, recent conferences have
invited participants to consider research questions particularly associated
with the concepts of identity and nationhood. Panels and papers, for example,
have investigated an emerging and developing, as well as enduring, Scottish
identity as it was negotiated through a variety of writing (chronicles,
poetry, religious texts, prose tracts) and in a variety of languages (Gaelic,
Latin, Scots, French, English).


Call for Papers:

The 16th ICMRSLL adopts as a general theme, “Crossing Boundaries.” This call
for papers comes at time when boundaries – both literal and conceptual borders
– continue to be sources of contention and negotiation. Battles of inclusion
and exclusion, influence and interpenetration, dominate our politics and
culture. The worlds of medieval and early modern Scotland grappled with
similar problems of definition and delineation. In addition to contested
boundaries within religious, familial, regional, and national identities,
lines were also drawn, challenged, crossed, erased, translated, shared and/or
re-drawn in other areas: in language and linguistics, for example; literary
form and genre; modes of communication (print and manuscript, say); and many
others, including, to this day, those reflected in our own academic
disciplines. It is hoped that papers addressing the negotiation of such
boundaries will constitute a core research emphasis of this conference.

ICMRSLL welcomes papers on any aspect of the culture of literature and
language in medieval and Renaissance Scotland, or related interdisciplinary
areas. The organizers seek a variety of theoretical and methodological
perspectives, including those that stretch beyond periodization – papers, for
example, engaging the later reception of early texts – or those that
incorporate innovative uses of technology in humanities research. Early-career
researchers and first-time delegates are expressly encouraged to submit
proposals.
