Meeting Description:

The research project Cisalpine Celtic Language and Literacy (Austrian Academy
of Sciences), in collaboration with Lexicon Leponticum and Maynooth
University, is happy to announce an international symposium on Cisalpine
Celtic Literacy, to be held on the 23th-24th of June 2022 at the University of
Maynooth, Ireland.

The symposium aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines
and scholarly traditions to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas on the
study of Cisalpine Celtic, the fragmentary remains of Celtic languages in the
Alpine region and Padan plain of the Iron Age. As indicated by the title, the
symposium's focus lies on aspects of literacy. The keynote address will be
delivered by Professor Joseph F. Eska (Polytechnic Institute and State
University Virginia).


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts on all topics concerned with Cisalpine Celtic, especially
such as are focused on issues of alphabet history, palaeography, orthography,
epigraphy, the reading of individual inscriptions, and sociohistorical aspects
of literacy. We especially welcome topics which examine aspects of the
Lepontic alphabet and the Cisalpine Celtic writing culture in their
script-historical context, with consideration of possible interference and
exchange with the neighbouring writing cultures of Northern Italy. The
symposium encourages an interdisciplinary approach which includes the
perspectives of various pertinent fields, including, but not limited to
linguistics, comparative grammatology, archaeology, and sociohistorical
studies.

The symposium will be held in hybrid mode, with live keynote address, speakers
and audience at Maynooth (if possible and following any government guidelines
at that time) as well as online speakers and audience on Zoom. The choice of
their mode of attendance will be open to all participants. Attendance will be
free (but note that travel expenses cannot be covered). Presentations will be
20 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion. The
publication of proceedings is planned in the Maynooth Studies in Celtic
Linguistics series.

If you would like to present at the symposium, please email an abstract of no
more than 300 words (excluding references) and a short bio, whith a
non-binding indication of whether you would attend online or in person, to
corinna.salomon at univie.ac.at by the 28th of February 2022.
