CfP: Metamorphoses: The III International Flann O’Brien Conference

Registration is now open for “Metamorphoses: The III International Flann O’Brien Conference” at the Centre for Irish Studies, Charles University, Prague (16-19 September 2015). All are welcome!

Written at a time of profound transformation in post-independence Ireland and war-torn Europe, and displaying an acute awareness of the epochal changes bearing on modern notions of literature and the self, Flann O’Brien’s œuvre offers a sustained engagement with the representation of cultural, political, and personal metamorphosis. This is a body of writing in which the human always bears the potential to be radically remade in the forms of horses, bicycles, and trains; in which genre, language, and literary form are constantly reorganised and refashioned; in which a programme of pseudonymity presents the comic writer as a master of disguise and identity as a matter of constant flux. At Metamorphoses: The III International Flann O’Brien Conference, the organisers propose to build on the current sea change in O’Brien studies to foster a scholarly and critical debate dedicated to the theme of metamorphosis in the writer’s work.

CfP: Ireland and Europe: Cultural and Literary Encounters

“Ireland and Europe: Cultural and Literary Encounters” is an international conference organised by the Department of English and American Studies. It is open to post-graduates and all academic specialists in the broad research field of Irish cultural, literary and linguistic studies.

The release of Bloomsbury’s 2013 ‘The Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe’ series with its monographs devoted to Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, and W.B Yeats continues a growing trend of research devoted to the impact that Irish culture and language makes in countries all across the European continent: East and West.

“Ireland and Europe: Cultural and Literary Encounters” is a further occasion to debate on “Ireland” within a European context. Our intention is to create a forum of discussion that puts no restrictions on academic approaches or methodologies.
Our plenary speaker is Jack Harte: renowned Irish author and founder of the Irish writer’s Union.

The conference will take place at Sofia University (Sofia, Bulgaria), on June 15-16. The deadline for the CfP is May 15.
