Performing Magic in the Pre-Modern North Conference November 2023

Date / time: 31 July, 12:00 am

  • External events

CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS IS 31 JULY 2023

The third Performing Magic in the pre-Modern North Conference is taking place on 9-10 November 2023.
The conference will focus on magic in ancient, medieval, and early modern Northern Europe. Magic, both as a concept and as a tool, is frequently used in textual sources of the pre-Modern North. Archaeological studies of the period have also linked burial evidence with ritual practices, proposing that certain tools were used to perform magic. 

We invite student, early career, established, and independent researchers to submit an abstract for consideration. 
The language of the conference is English and will be a hybrid event, taking place both at the University of Aberdeen and online. Papers should not exceed 20 minutes and will be followed by 10 minutes of discussion. 
If you wish to present a paper, please email an abstract of 250-300 words alongside a short personal biography that includes your name, pronouns, area of study, institutional affiliation (if any), and if you plan to attend the conference in person or virtually by 31 July 2023 to nate.richardson-read@liverpool.ac.uk

Further details are available on our conference Twitter @performingmagic or contact the above email with queries.
