SHAKESPEARE 450: Call for Program Proposals

21-27 April 2014, Paris

 

The Société française Shakespeare is organizing in Paris a week-long conference from 21-27 April 2014 to coincide with the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth. The program will include plenary lectures, roundtables, workshops, seminars, panels, along with performances at various venues, theatres, concert halls, museums, libraries, artists’ studios and bookshops.

 

The conference is backed by a large number of French and international institutions and organizations.

 

The international organizing committee welcomes seminar, workshop or panel proposals on all aspects of Shakespeare’s works, their reflections in painting, sculpture, opera, on radio and screen, as well as issues of performance, critical theory, poetics, commemorations, textual and scenic rewritings, translation, biography.

 

For 2014, panel proposals will welcome up to four papers per session. Panels may extend for more than one session.
