Call for papers - Conference "Mapping
Disciplinary History: Centers, Borderlands and Shared Spaces in Folkloristic
Thought"
Archives of Latvian Folklore, Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art,
University of Latvia, invites submissions of abstracts for International
Conference "Mapping Disciplinary History: Centers, Borderlands and Shared
Spaces in Folkloristic Thought" to be held in Riga on October 20-24, 2014.
Approaching its 90th anniversary, the Archives of Latvian Folklore (founded
1924) is organizing a conference to address the history of folkloristics,
with a particular focus on the international nature of scholarship.
This focus suggests a range of related questions. To what extent and in what
sense can folklore studies be regarded as a shared field of knowledge? Which
lines of authority have held it together and what forces have led to
segmentation? How have hierarchies of intellectual centers and peripheries
shifted over time? Do national or regional styles of scholarly practice
exist in folkloristics? What factors have contributed to regional formations
of intellectual space - common political history, geography and shared
research topics, traditions of intellectual cooperation? What roles have
scholarly micro-spaces - archives, institutes, museums - played?
By foregrounding 'geographies of knowledge' (Peter Burke), we also encourage
a debate on theoretical and methodological dissemination in folkloristics -
its sources, centers of influence and routes. With the concept of
'travelling theory' (Edward Said) as a reference point, we propose to
reflect upon relevant histories of border-crossing, dialogue, and transfer
within and across the discipline, including strategies and outcomes of
knowledge transmission (borrowing, adaptating, translating) and the
attitudes and conditions that prompt acceptance or resistance. We similarly
welcome attention to individual personalities, to the politics and economics
of scholarship, and to forms of communication, (e.g., conferences and
symposiums) as meaningful contexts for discussing the dynamics of theory and
method in folklore studies.
Without suggesting an exhaustive list of possible topics for the conference,
we invite scholars in folklore and adjacent fields, interested in various
aspects of the history of the discipline, to propose relevant papers based
on their research.
Please submit your proposals by February 28, 2014 (sandis.laime@lulfmi.lv).
Submissions should include the name and affiliation of the participant, the
paper title and an abstract (up to 300 words). Notification of acceptance
will be sent shortly after March 15. Online registration for the conference
starts in April. Updates are available at: www.lulfmi.lv. Do not hesitate to
contact us with questions.
