Meeting Description:

Major Theme: Another World – The West in Celtic Myth, Language and Imagination

>From ancient times the concept of the Western World has played an important
role in the cosmologies and imaginations of the Post-Roman Celtic-speaking
peoples of the Atlantic World through the stories and mental imagery of Tír
nan nÓg (the Land of Youth), An Saol Eile (The Other World), Hy Brasil, the
Voyage of Bran, the Islands of the Blessed, and by extension, Avalon.  In the
medieval and early modern periods, this consciousness was also incorporated in
more visceral places such as the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Newfoundland.  In
the period after conquest, colonization and industrialization of the surviving
Celtic homelands, this consciousness was transformed and extended to include
modern-day Canada, the United States, the West Indies and Argentina, which
became part of a physical continuum of diaspora, socio-economic networks and
political-cultural inspiration.

Abstracts are invited on any linguistic, cultural or pedagogical topic dealing
with one or more of the Celtic languages.
