Locating
James Hogg
James Hogg Society Biennial Conference
19-21 July, 2017
University
of Stirling,
Scotland
Call for Papers
To ‘locate’ means to establish, place, or situate, but also to
discover, to settle, and to orient. Where, when, and how do we ‘locate’ James
Hogg, be it culturally, politically, linguistically, geographically, or in
respect of period, genre, or style? How do we position Hogg’s writing and
reputation in current and historical debates about nation, tradition and
identity, or within the work of other writers, past and present? What does his
restless preoccupation with matters of origin, tradition and locality reveal
about our own situatedness (or lack of it) as readers and critics?
The James Hogg Society invites proposals for 20-minute papers and
90-minute panels on the theme of ‘locating James Hogg’.
Abstracts of 300 words should be sent, by 31 January 2017, to locatinghogg@stir.ac.uk
