Call for Papers

The Department of English and American Studies at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic,
is pleased to announce an

International conference:

Shakespeare and His Collaborators over the Centuries

The conference is intended to provide a forum for diverse critical explorations of the current state of Shakespearean scholarship in Europe and beyond. Our main focus will be on investigating Shakespeare's texts as results of the processes of collaboration between their author and those who, in different degrees and different centuries, have contributed to creating the "Shakespeare" as he (it?) has come to be known. The focus will range from the cultural milieu of Renaissance theatre, through his first publishers (and occasional editors), later editors and scholars who worked systematically on the Cult, through theatre practitioners and adaptors, to translators into other cultures (whose interference as collaborators has been most lasting).

The topics discussed in conference sessions include the following:

* Shakespeare's collaborators
* Shakespearean apocrypha
* Editing and publishing Shakespeare
* Translating Shakespeare
* Adapting Shakespeare

* National Shakespeares
* Shakespeare as a cultural icon outside Britain

Plenary speakers:

Professor Lois Potter, University of Delaware, USA

John Russell Brown, Middlesex University, UK

Venue: Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic

Dates: February 8-11, 2006

Deadline for submission of 250-word proposals:

November 30, 2005 (later submissions will be considered)

Please send your proposals as MS Word attachments to: kapradi@phil.muni.cz
