Call for papers for the XVIII SYMPOSIUM OF IRISH STUDIES IN SOUTH AMERICA

“Consecration”

Date: 9-11 October 2023.
Venue: Universidade de Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais, Brasil)

The year of 2023 marks the centenary of the Nobel prize in literature being awarded to W. B. Yeats, the first of four Irish writers that have been recognised by the Swedish Academy thus far, with George Bernard Shaw following Yeats closely in 1925 (received 1926), Samuel Beckett in 1969 and Seamus Heaney in 1995. In commemoration of this occasion, this year’s Symposium of Irish Studies in South America is concerned more widely with the processes that lead to the kind of recognition so many Irish writers and artists have achieved globally.

Abstracts of 300 words can be written in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
The deadline for submission is 31 July 2023.
