[Archport] Call for Papers - Celtic religions between Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages

[José D´Encarnação <jde@fl.uc.pt>]

We would like to invite you to our two-day multi-disciplinary conference on 'Celtic' religions and myths between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages (notably in Britain and Ireland), studying, among others, the persistence (and transformation) of 'indigenous' religious ideas and practices during Late Antiquity, the sub-Roman period and into the Middle Ages. The conference will be held at Aberystwyth University on the 12th and 13th September 2024.

'Celtic Myths and Religions from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages'

This two-day conference will focus on the development of religious ideas and cultures in the Celtic-speaking world in late Antiquity and into the Early Middle Ages (c.350-800 CE). The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for multi-disciplinary debate. By bringing together specialists in ancient and medieval history, Celtic studies, religious studies, archaeology and epigraphy, we hope that discussion will provide new insights on continuity and transformation in Celtic religions and mythologies, and interrogate established dichotomies such as Roman/Celtic, nativist/anti-nativist and 'pagan'/Christian.

If you are interested in proposing a paper please send us the title and an abstract (each paper will be 20 minutes long, followed by 10 min. discussion):

Thank you very much!

We look forward to seeing you in Aberystwyth!
