TENEB - Transatlantic Exchanges between New England and Britain 2010
July 14 - 17, 2010
Plymouth , Regno Unito
This three day conference will explore issues arising from the relationship between Britain and New England in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in the light of recent developments in the reading of transatlantic connections.
In the run up to the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower, and in the context of new critical perspectives on transatlantic studies, such as post colonial theory with its emphasis on the whole Atlantic rim, feminism, discussions of displacement and debates about national identity, what does it now mean in the early twenty-first century to revisit with an interdisciplinary perspective the cultural and ideological exchanges between Britain and New England 1600-1900?
The conference will include contributions from literary scholars, art historians and specialists in the history of architecture and other material cultures.
