CALL FOR PAPERS,
Workshops or Roundtables for the
2008 Annual General Meeting of FSAC
Cape Breton University,
Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
May 22 to 25, 2008
Folklore Studies Association of Canada announces an upcoming meeting.
The Setting: Located on culturally distinct and diverse Cape Breton Island, at the confluence of Mi'kmaq, Acadian, Irish, Loyalist, and Scottish traditions, further enlivened by the multicultural influx of industrialisation, Cape Breton University is the only university in the Maritimes to offer undergraduate programmes in Folklore and Ethnomusicology.
Themes: The context of Cape Breton suggests a number of themes:
Cultural tourism
Post-industrialism
Out-migration and diaspora
Romantic nationalism
Multiculturalism outside the metropolis
Proposals dealing with other topics will also be considered. As much as possible, we would like to adhere to a plenary session format, which would include: chaired discussions, round table discussions, workshops, oral paper presentations, and visual display presentations.
