CALL FOR SEMINAR PAPERS

 

For an in person panel at the

 

Seventeenth European Society for the Study of English conference in Lausanne, Switzerland (26-30 August 2024)

Seminar 56: What do the Humanities have to say to Law?

 

This seminar makes the claim that the Humanities have a great deal to say to Law, legal

training, and critical legal theory. We investigate Law and Humanities research from the

perspectives of legal actors as well as scholars working in English Departments, located in

Continental Europe, bringing their own literary and legal systemic traditions to common law

and Anglophone legal texts. The seminar investigates new directions in Law and the

Humanities, including – but not exclusively – how affect and metaphor theory change the

primarily narrative-based research that has dominated the past.

 

Please send 250-word abstracts and a brief bio to all of the convenors before February 10th.
