CALL FOR PAPERS: COLONISING, DECOLONISING AND POSTCOLONISING THE VIKING AGE
17–19 March 2011
Colonising, Decolonising and Postcolonising the Viking Age seeks to
revisit the Vikings through the lens of postcolonial theory, in order
to open the period to new research questions on such topics as
Viking-age aesthetics, the role of art in cultural translation and
identity formation, cultural hybridity in the Viking age, gender,
history and the landscape of memory, the work and preservation of
tangible and intangible heritage, the Vikings and historical/national
consciousness.
Papers are invited from all fields on any aspect of these or related
topics. Submissions from graduate students are particularly welcome,
and we do have a limited number of bursaries to support both UK and
international students.
Two days of the conference will be devoted to scholarly papers, with
the third day reserved for general discussion and workshops centred
on enhancing both funding and postgraduate resources.
Please send paper proposals or expressions of interest to:
Professor Catherine E. Karkov
School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies
Old Mining Building
University of Leeds
LS2 9JT
