[Comedias] Call for Papers: Out of the Wings 2010 Oxford Symposium

[Kathleen Jeffs]

Dear Colleagues,

The AHRC-funded project ‘Out of the Wings’ presents its 2010 Symposium

‘Spanish Golden Age Drama in Translation and Performance’

To be held at Merton College, Oxford, 18-19 March 2010

We invite proposals for individual papers of 30 minutes in length, on
any subject within the field of translating and performing Spanish
Golden Age drama. Of particular interest will be papers featuring
performance aspects such as music (translating/writing lyrics as well
as music), acting, directing, movement and choreography, and design.
Practitioners from a wide variety of theatrical backgrounds as well as
scholars are encouraged to submit proposals.

Translating and performing the works of Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de
Vega, Tirso de Molina and Calderón de la Barca, and other playwrights
of the Golden Age have sparked an increasing amount of interest,
heightened by the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2004-5 Golden Age
season. Our Symposium will be attended by both academic and theatrical
practitioners working within the field of Golden Age drama, and a
wider base of attendees interested in Spanish theatre in general, as
well as University colleagues and students. Speakers will be drawn
from the United States and Europe, representing a variety of areas of
expertise in translation and performance of the comedia. Please
explore our website (www.outofthewings.org) for more information on
the project and past events.

Please send proposals no later than 30 September 2009 to
Kathleen.Jeffs at new.ox.ac.uk. Proposals of 500 words or less will be
accepted in the body of an email, or as Word attachments. Please
include the title of the proposed paper, along with your name, title
and institutional affiliation if appropriate. If you wish to submit a
proposal in hard copy, please send it to Dr. Kathleen Jeffs, Faculty
of Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford, OX1 2JF.
