| Title | Seminar: Hispanic Cultural Heritage: Folklore, Mythology and Fantasy Literature |
| Body | The Instituto Cervantes is delighted to announce that it is organizing a Seminar entitled: Hispanic Cultural Heritage: Folklore, Mythology and Fantasy Literature. This 5-day event, organized in conjunction with the University of Extremadura (Spain), will take place at the Instituto Cervantes in London, from 11-15 June 2007. Each day will cover different themes, so delegates may choose to attend one or more days. The Seminar will provide an opportunity for colleagues to critically explore the present panorama of referenced literary and folklore genres -examining the singularity of the Hispanic contribution-, and to share best practice among British and Spanish Universities, with the aim of promoting joint research. Themes will be: folklore and popular traditions related to the fantastic; myths and traditions of the Iberian Peninsula; fantasy literature in Spanish and its subgenres (magic realism, science-fiction, terror, sagas, …); fantasy literature and mythology compared; literature-folklore relations in Hispanic literature; analysis of specific authors and works; fantasy themes and motifs; cultural heritage as a pedagogic resource; cultural and tourist itineraries from myths and legends; myths in films and visual images. Keynote speakers: Professor Eloy Martos Núñez (University of Extremadura); Professor Pedro Cerrillo Torremocha (University of Castilla-La Mancha); Ana Paula Guimarães (Nova University in Lisbon); Professor Antonio Gómez Yebra (University of Málaga). Full details, including a call for papers will be available soon on http://www.unex.es/eweb/sil/ and on http://london.cervantes.es . For further information and expressions of interest please e-mail: cultlon@cervantes.es . Attendance will be free. |
