ESSE 2016 BOOK OF ABSTRACTS Summary of Contents CONTENT Seminar Abstracts Roundtable Descriptions Posters Sub-‐plenary lectures PAGE 379 385 387 This document was published on Friday 19 August A Note on Presentation Seminar convenors made a variety choices about how to present their abstracts Some chose to give a breakdown of the timing of individual seminars, others to give their seminar sessions specific names or subthemes, and so on Some convenors included biographical information for speakers; others did not Some listed papers in the order in which they will be presented; others did not, or were obliged to reorganise their seminars due to withdrawals Rather than seeking to impose consistency – which would have required the removal of information from most seminar descriptions – the editors of this document have presented material largely as it was sent to the organisers Some changes have been made to formatting for reasons of space; delegates’ email addresses have been removed; and we have sought to eliminate repetition of information that is available in the programme It is also possible that some changes will inadvertently have been made in the transmission of an abstract from the speaker to the convenor to the conference organisers The content is otherwise unaltered List of Seminars • S1 “Pragmatic strategies in non-‐native Englishes.” Co-‐convenors Lieven Buysse, KU

Strategies in Non-‐Native Englishes The pragmatic marker you know in learner Englishes Lieven Buysse, KU Leuven, Belgium Over the past few decades the surge of scholarly interest in pragmatic markers has also addressed non-‐native speaker perspectives Such studies for English have brought to light differences between native speakers and learners – largely albeit not exclusively resulting in reports of “underuse” by the learners – but it has also become clear that “learners” do not form a homogeneous group Apart from L1 background, other factors that have been considered relevant are proficiency level, setting, and the type of pragmatic marker The present study sets out to investigate one particular marker that has been shown to be highly frequent in native English, viz you know Four components of the Louvain International Database of Spoken English Interlanguage (LINDSEI) will be examined to identify differences and similarities in the use of this marker by upper-‐intermediate to advanced learners of Dutch, French, German and Spanish The pragmatic functions of you know will be teased out and compared to those attested in a native speaker reference corpus, and the incidence of the marker and its functions will be compared between interlanguages and with native speaker practice Interpreting care: Interpreters between the voice of medicine and the (ELF) lifeworld A corpus-‐based investigation of interpreter-‐mediated doctor-‐patient interaction in ELF and Italian Eugenia Dal Fovo, University of Trieste, Italy This paper presents a study on interpreter-‐mediated doctor-‐patient interaction in Italian and English as lingua franca (ELF) (inter al Albl-‐Mikasa 2015) based on real-‐life data recorded in healthcare providing institutions of the city of Trieste (Italy) Interpreting in this area is provided by non-‐professionals called cultural and linguistic mediators (Rudvin/Spinzi 2013): non-‐Italian citizens with migration history, extensive knowledge of the Italian language and culture, and foreign patients’ background Indeed, interpreting curricula in Italy rarely provide trainees with the necessary tools to tackle the multifaceted challenges healthcare interpreting poses, especially when involving ELF-‐speaking patients The study aims at investigating healthcare interaction as a form of institutional talk-‐in-‐ interaction, which, when interpreter-‐mediated, requires an adjustment of discourse practices and configuration (Baraldi/Gavioli 2012) Particular attention will be dedicated to the use of ELF by non-‐Italian speaking patients and its implications on mediated doctor-‐ patient interaction Albl-‐Mikasa, M (2015) “English as lingua franca” In Pöchhacker, F (ed.)

If the history of theory and before it philosophy entails, as we would assert, a history of pedagogics (teaching practices which reflect not only on their practice but also on their very possibility), does theory/philosophy have anything to say, today, in defence of the incalculable? Dr Elizabeth Hoult, Birkbeck, University of London Contemplating Hope in the Infinite in a Prison Reading Group In this paper I will give an account of a recent research project which convened a science fiction film group in a men’s prison Escaping the walls of the university, and teaching in the context of a funded research project rather than the curriculum apparatus, has led me to a pedagogical experience which has been characterised by people confined in space and time, but where, paradoxically, the accountancy and accountability measures that saturate more traditional university environments were largely absent The process of thinking about infinite space and time in these confined contexts has led to open and plural readings of both the texts (e.g Kubrick’s 2001) and the participants’ own futures in the context of incalculable space and time I’ll offer some possible readings of this freedom Dr Michael O’Sullivan, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Imperfect Knowledge of the Knowledge Economy and the Teaching of Literature The language of the “knowledge economy” is based on allegiance to what are often described as rigorously calculated macroeconomic models of universities as markets University administration teams employ these models, they tell us, in place of older models based on tradition and educational philosophy because they are less open to the kinds of chance and uncertainty that could send us crashing in this same market However, this paper explores the imperfect knowledge of the Knowledge Economy As Frydman and Goldberg argue with their IKE (Imperfect Knowledge Economics, 2015), rational choice macroeconomic theory has for too long ignored the “radical uncertainty” (Keynes, 1936) and imperfect knowledge that behavioural economics must be based on They argue that, regardless of whether agents are “fully rational” or “less than fully rational,” “fully predetermined microfoundations are incompatible [ ] with profit-‐seeking in real-‐world markets,” and that, in order to open macroeconomic models to “minimally reasonable decision-‐making [ ], economists must jettison their core premise that non-‐routine change is unimportant for understanding market outcomes.” If any discipline can help our students and universities imaginatively engage with the economic [ ] and ethical importance of radical uncertainty, imperfect knowledge, and non-‐routine change in 375 planning for the future, it is literature, and specifically a theoretical approach to literature This paper will explore these ideas in relation to the teaching of such writers as Samuel Beckett and David Foster Wallace Dr John W P Phillips, National University of Singapore, Leading and Misleading: A Hundred Years of English Teaching With an eye on two kinds of process, of calculation and of education, and therefore on two kinds of practice, I want to inquire into a possibility of teaching in its connection with 1) truths that cannot be proven and “that are, in fact, ‘false’”; 2) an “aesthetic education” that aims to combine opposite conditions “by cancellation (Aufhebung)”; and 3) a tension between what is teachable and unteachable In addition, I propose a reading of short sections from Aristotle – the Ethics and the Analytics – and a passage from Sophocles’ Antigone (with several translations) The framework of a history of English serves as a guise or, as Rousseau would have had it, a “subterfuge”, and the motif of leading (in several senses) operates as a guide through an otherwise complex tangle of materials Dr Sarah Wood, University of Kent, Dream Reckoning Taking up the panel call’s possibly psychoanalytic language of resistance and defence, I’d like to see what happens if we start to dream teaching, and start to read what Freud writes about calculation (Rechnung) in dreams According to “On Dreams”, dream-‐calculation produces “the wildest results” Can dreams teach us how to reckon with pedagogical calculation? 376 S87 Richard Hakluyt Organisers: Daniel Carey (NUI Galway) and Claire Jowitt (UEA) Colm MacCrossan (Sheffield Hallam) ‘“The Master Thief of the Unknown World”: The Ambivalence of Hakluyt’s Drake’ In Richard Hakluyt’s enormous travel collection The Principal Navigations of the English Nation (1598-‐1600), no other voyager is named as often or in such a variety of contexts as Sir Francis Drake He appears as the first commander to complete a voyage around the world (1577-‐80), and as a leader of the English defence against the Spanish Armada (1588), and his influence in the text further extends from Virginia to Tierra del Fuego, Constantinople, and Ormus Yet, while Hakluyt explicitly expressed an ambition to provide images of ‘famous predecessors’ to inspire further English voyaging, his text does surprisingly little to frame Drake’s activities in a way which would make him a cohesive exemplar to younger Englishmen This paper examines the fragmentary representation of Drake in The Principal Navigations, taking into account the sources Hakluyt had available to him and the contexts in which it was produced, and asking what the treatment of Drake reveals about the larger collection and how it can be read critically today Claire Jowitt (University of East Anglia) ‘Hakluyt and the Heroic: Captaincy at Sea and its Discontents’ Everyone knows what the sea means to an Englishman; what is not sufficiently known is the precise form of the connection between his relationship to the sea and his famous individualism The Englishman sees himself as a captain on board a ship with a small group of people, the sea around and beneath him He is almost alone; as captain he is in many ways isolated from his crew So wrote Elias Canetti in Crowds and Power (1960) about the symbolic character of the English nation For Englishmen (sic) the fantasy figure of the sea captain was a ‘remarkably stable’ national self-‐identity, and Canetti describes how this isolated male figure personified his ship, sought to impose his ‘absolute’ and ‘undisputed’ ‘power of command’ on a sea that is ‘there to be ruled’, and provided a powerful collective vision of how to behave and interact with others that endured for generations The model is clearly apparent in nineteenth-‐century accounts of English colonial and imperial history where, for instance, J.A Froude famously described Hakluyt’s collection of ‘English’ exploration, trade, and travel, The Principal Navigations (1589; 2nd rev edn 1598/9-‐1600) as ‘the prose epic of the modern English nation’ (Short Studies in Great Subjects, 1891) But Hakluyt’s texts present a more complicated and nuanced picture than these homogenising accounts of England’s nautical history allow Though Froude is right to suggest that The Principal Navigations makes claims for the central role of sea captains such as Francis Drake, Walter Ralegh, and Thomas Cavendish in supporting English expansionist policies abroad and defending the nation in times of war, and Canetti makes astute connections between English national identity, individualism, and the figure of the sea captain, The Principal Navigations frequently includes disputes between ‘captains’ concerning the ‘power of command’ This paper focuses on the ways struggles to establish and maintain command by sea captains are recounted in The Principal Navigations to explore questions of how and why Hakluyt’s collection repeatedly emphasized and re-‐cycled this particular motif 377 Anthony Payne (NUI Galway) ‘Hakluyt and the Ancients’ This paper will discuss Hakluyt’s treatment of supposed ancient knowledge of the Americas, especially in the last volume of his Principal Navigations (1600) Hakluyt was not excited by the concept of a ‘New’ World Indeed, using ancient authors, he questions its novelty This was not purely a classicist’s deference to antiquity It could be deployed against Iberian claims deriving from the originality of their American ‘discoveries’ These, according to Hakluyt, had been preceded by ancient voyagers and had been informed by the ancients’ knowledge of lands across the Atlantic Implicit in this thinking is that if the lands found by Spain and Portugal were no more than rediscoveries, then the English, acting as true pioneers, were discovering a genuine new world Hakluyt’s discussion of ancient knowledge of the New World had ample precedent Ramusio, his model as a compiler of voyage accounts, had cited Plato’s Atlantis as evidence of the inhabitability of the entire globe and quoted Seneca’s Medea as prophetic of the discovery of the New World But Ramusio was writing half a century before Hakluyt Soon after 1600, Hakluyt’s successor, Samuel Purchas, rejected the ancient discovery tradition Might Hakluyt’s intellectual world have seemed old fashioned even as his final volume came off the press? Jane Grogan (University College Dublin) ‘Vaunting Knowledge and Vouching antiquities in the Principall Navigations (1589)’ Hakluyt ordered his materials ‘regionally’, imitating Ramusio, as D.B Quinn noted The texts centre on travellers, not regions, vivid eye-‐witness accounts rather than geographical pronouncements, but the structures of belief and endorsement that Hakluyt demanded, particularly for the New World materials, were not a given Just a year later, for example, Edmund Spenser would enjoy some epistemological brinkmanship at Hakluyt’s expense, casting doubt on the veracity of both travellers and editors’ work for the dubious purposes of establishing Faeryland within the same appealing framework ‘Who euer heard of th’Indian Peru? / Or who in venturous vessell measured / The Amazons huge riuer now found trew? / Or fruitfullest Virginia who did euer vew?’ (The Faerie Queene, II Proem) That New World interests – Virginia, Peru – were at the heart of Hakluyt’s project in the Principal Navigations is a given; less clear are the significance of the Old World travel narratives interspersed among them: trading missions, pilgrimages and embassies to known parts of the world east and south This paper confronts Hakluyt’s ordering of materials in the first edition of the Principal Navigations, exploring the implications of his mixture of accounts of the Old World and the New in its historical moment John Carrigy (NUI Galway) ‘“To proove by Reason”: Historical precedent in the work of John Dee and Richard Hakluyt’ Elizabethan efforts to establish an English presence in the New World engendered a literature of both justification and promotion Convincing both the state and prospective investors of the legality of colonial and exploratory ventures required rigorous, convincing arguments Key texts in this tradition were John Dee’s General and Rare Memorials Pertayning to the Perfect Arte of Navigation (1577) and Richard Hakluyt’s Discourse on Western Planting (1582) The success of these persuasive texts is evident in the letters patent and voyages during these years This paper will explore the uses of prior claims to sovereignty over the New World by Hakluyt and Dee, demonstrating the inter-‐relatedness of the sources and substance of 378 their arguments It will foreground the significance of Roman law and historical precedent, within a broader British antiquarian tradition, as the basis for sixteenth-‐century imperial theory It will focus in particular on the influence antiquarian methodologies had on the tone and content of imperial literature at this juncture Ladan Niayesh (Paris-‐Diderot) ‘Under Persian Eyes: Hakluyt’s Corrective to Safavid Chronicles’ To the historian looking for Persian accounts to match Hakluyt’s extensive Muscovy Company’s material on the beginnings of Anglo-‐Iranian trade in the second half of the sixteenth century, surviving Safavid chronicles are a disappointment Referring only in passing to European embassies, Persian sources mostly conflate Western visitors under the generic appellation of Farangi, which could be understood as a sign either of ignorance or of indifference on their part Taking its cue from Rudi Matthee and Sholeh Quinn’s works on Safavid historiography’s aims and methods, this paper purports to provide a corrective to this view, by examining in particular Hakluyt’s accounts of Muscovy Company agents’ court audiences, which yield proof of a surprisingly deep awareness of European geopolitics on the part of the Shah and his nobles With this evidence in mind, I will argue, the discrepancy between English and Persian sources can be accounted for through a process of selection and adjustment whereby the chroniclers make their accounts fit the Safavids’ Iran-‐centred, providentialist view of world history Daniel Carey (NUI Galway) ‘Hakluyt and the Clothworkers: Long Distance Trade and English Commercial Development’ Richard Hakluyt has long been understood as organizing The Principal Navigations (1589; 1598-‐1600) around the interests of the Clothworkers’ Company, based on the fact that he received support from the Company in pursuing his studies in Oxford; the benefit he received in compiling the work from figures like Richard Staper, a prominent member of the company; and the evidence of his commitment to extending the demand for English finished cloth in distant markets (opposing the interests of the Merchant Adventurers) This paper reexamines the case for this view and suggests a more nuanced reading Hakluyt certainly recognized the value of the trade in cloth to the English economy; but whether that makes his position identifiable solely with the interests of the Clothworkers’ Company is another matter The cloth trade, yes, but Clothworkers exclusively? This seems less plausible Membership in multiple companies complicates the picture of whose interests are being served There are also other texts in the volumes that support the case for cloth from figures without any recognized connection with the Company (e.g Sir Geoge Peckham); thus it was possible to advocate for cloth without being an agent of a single interest If we situate Hakluyt’s work in relation to that of his influential elder cousin, also named Richard Hakluyt, is seems clear that his broader purpose is to stimulate economic development, provide for employment, and to strengthen English competitiveness with Spain in particular 379 RT1: “Literary Journalism and Immigration: A Stranger in a Strange Land” Co-‐convenors: John S Bak, Université de Lorraine, France David Abrahamson, Northwestern University, IL U.S.A Literary journalism – a genre of nonfiction prose that lies at the conceptual intersection of literature and journalism – can be the best vehicle to tell a certain kind of story that reporting often neuters of its emotional appeal and literature inevitably elevates to universal heights that efface its individualistic nature It can be argued that the cause célébre of the last few decades or so has been immigration, the ineluctable endgame of colonialist agendas The discourse is global, poignant and often marked by nativism, racism and even violence The proposed session will focus on ways in which a variety of national traditions of literary journalism have dealt with the immigrant experience, in particularly on how various perspectives (both by individual authors and in national traditions) have explored what it means to be – or, perhaps more importantly, to be view by others as – a stranger in a strange land Speakers Alfred Archer,

RT2: Re-‐defining the Contemporary in Anglo-‐American Fiction Convenor: Dr Ana-‐Karina Schneider, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania However cursory a glance at scholarship devoted to contemporary literature will identify the inconsistency with which the “contemporary” is defined and periodised nowadays As it becomes increasingly evident that “literature after 1945” no longer means “contemporary literature,” new temporal landmarks are hard to agree upon and often seem tenuous, problematic and “fraught with conceptual and ideological difficulties” (Tew, The Contemporary British Novel, 60) Nonetheless, periodisations remain “pragmatically necessary and theoretically suggestive” (Tew 17) Taking fiction as our object, as the more referential and perhaps the most representative of contemporary literary genres, our round table aims to investigate the ways in which recent fiction in English has been narrativised in relation to various events, in search of a relational and workable periodisation of the contemporary Speakers: Prof Peter Childs, Newman University, Birmingham, UK Prof Sämi Ludwig, Université de Haute-‐Alsace, France Dr Sebastian Goes, Roehampton

Schneider, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania (convenor) RT3: “Narrative Strategies in the Reconstruction of History in the Work of Contemporary British Women Novelists” Convenor: Ana Raquel Fernandes, University of Lisbon, Portugal 380 The aim of the round table is to enquire into the ways certain contemporary British women authors write into their fiction the processes by which they recreate and pay testimony to history We will also examine the reasons why they recreate the past, whether they be political, social or artistic, and the strategies employed to establish a comparison to the present Celia Wallhead will open the debate discussing Byatt’s collection of critical studies, On Histories and Stories: Selected Essays, in which the author set out her thoughts on the reasons behind what she called “the sudden flowering of the historical novel in Britain” Wallhead will look at Byatt’s thoughts in the context of the postwar novel and its heritage Furthermore, she’ll show how Byatt uses the strategies she identifies in her critical studies in her own fiction in the course of her literary career María José de la Torre will focus on the latest fiction of Pat Baker and Sarah Waters in order to explore the relevance of their historical settings In particular, de la Torre will address how their use of historical settings responds to some of the different modes of writing that the flourishing of the historical novel in Britain has given rise to The Postmodern elements of fact/fiction hybridity will be approached, as well as the social realist streaks that may be found in the novels, which will link with the notion of rewriting history Furthermore, Alexandra Cheira’s analysis of how visual elements (fact) and the stories weaved around them (fiction) are intertwined in Tracy Chevalier’s novels will make for a striking historical approach Cheira will discuss Chevalier’s use of visual art to create her novels She will also argue that Chevalier’s novels are neo-‐historical in the sense that History is secondary to plot and characters Finally, Winterson’s and Smith’s novelistic production, their interrogation of particular versions of history through the process of narrative, their depiction of alternative identities and the rewriting of personal and national myths will prompt the analysis by Ana Raquel Fernandes Debate will be opened to the floor At the end we expect to have demonstrated/discussed parallels, shifts and transformations in the writing of these authors and in the rewriting of history in contemporary British fiction by women

“Competition out of the ordinary: Roundtable on “top research” in English Studies” Co-‐convenors: Janne Korkka, University of Turku, Finland Elina Valovirta, University of Turku, Finland The rhetoric of competition in today’s academia values “top researchers” (ERC) and “top universities” (QS Rankings) above the rest This type of register denotes that by all accounts, competition in academia is fierce and intensifying This roundtable questions and debates how the qualitatively proportional terms of “top”, “best” or “cutting-‐edge” research rely heavily on the prerequisite of ordinary as its foundation or its flipside Based on collaboration under the research project, “Out of the Ordinary Challenging Commonplace Concepts in Anglophone Literature” (Academy of Finland), this roundtable challenges the hegemonic way in which the rhetoric of the “top” in discussions of academic competition has become so commonplace and self-‐evident that it has in fact become ordinary, not special or ‘out of the ordinary’ Panellists from various European universities will engage with questions such as how to move beyond the axiomatic top-‐bottom juxtaposition reproduced in the prevalent academic rhetoric of competition? What does the increasing competition to produce “top” publications, projects, and researchers mean for English Studies and its future?

“The Spatial Turn”: What is Literary Geography Now?” Convenors: Eleonora Rao (Università di Salerno) – David Cooper (Manchester Metropolitan University) The prominence of literary geography within English Studies has been heightened by the ‘spatial turn’ across the arts and humanities and has been formalized by the launch of a new open-‐access international, interdisciplinary journal It is an appropriate moment, therefore, to reflect on the current status of literary geography and to consider the different ways it is being practised across Europe This roundtable discussion will invite scholars from several different countries to draw upon their critical processes and procedures to address the key question: “What is Literary Geography Now?” Topics under consideration might include: the relationship between 382 creative and critical practices, geocriticism, literary geography and ecocriticism, interdisciplinary collaborations between literary critics and geographers, digital literary geography Speakers: • Jane Suzanne Carroll • Kirsti Bohata • David Cooper • Bruna C Mancini • Eleonora Rao • Rocco De Leo (respondent) • Jason Finch (respondent) RT7 “Romantic-‐Era Labouring-‐Class Poetry: New Critical Directions” Convenor: Franca Dellarosa (Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro, Italy) Co-‐Convenor (in absentia) and Panel Advisor: Professor John Goodridge (Professor Emeritus, Nottingham Trent University, UK) Recent criticism has focused intensely on labouring-‐class poetry, debating which writing profiles it should accommodate as a critical category, and under which agenda An expanding corpus of British labouring-‐class poetry is now widely available, as the editors of the special dedicated number of Criticism Donna Landry and William J Christmas remarked in 2005; this provides a solid, text-‐based foundation to stimulate appreciation of what is now recognized as ‘both a vibrant and sustained literary and cultural phenomenon’ Landry and Christmas make a strong case for critical exercise on labouring-‐ class writing to move and embrace questions of formal and aesthetic order, therefore providing a necessary, healthy rebalancing of the categories of ‘history and the literary, or politics and aesthetics’, and circumventing the risk of sociological reductionism Appraising the current debate for the recent Blackwell Companion to Romantic Poetry, Michael Scrivener records the ‘new turn to the aesthetic’ as a welcome shift of emphasis, associating the somewhat controversial element of the ‘biographical’ with the until recently prevailing ‘ideological’ approach – in the present, the critic’s task, in Scrivener’s words, is ‘to read the aesthetic ideologically and read the ideological aesthetically, giving full weight to the entire meaning of poetry’ The round table, also developing on the outcomes of the themed panel on labouring–class poetry ‘Exploring and Expanding the Archive of Labouring-‐Class Print Culture’, convened by Bridget Keegan for the Conference Romantic Imprints (Cardiff, BARS Conference, July 2015), is intended to discuss the state of the art regarding labouring class poetry as a critical category, in the light of new scholarship and editing work Speakers: • Franca Dellarosa • Jennifer Orr • Jack Windle RT9: “Using ideas from intercultural communication, literary texts and cultural studies to expand EAP practice: breaking new ground” Convenor: Ann Gulden, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Norway, 383 This provocative round table seeks to address and challenge the worrying tendencies towards conformity in EAP practice and its outcomes EAP imposes a terministic screen which can be limiting and lead to the risk of cloned discourses There is an element of instrumentality in much current EAP practice, which risks endorsing unreflecting formulaic writing The power of EAP hegemonies can interfere with the development of academic identities in both L1 and L2 contexts Using approaches from intercultural communication, literary and cultural studies, we propose to explore ways in which learner imagination and autonomy can be encouraged and such instrumentality challenged Speakers: 1.Karen Bennett , Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal Ann Torday Gulden, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Norway, Tom Muir, Oslo

RT11: “Creating a European Anglicists' Gender Studies Network” Co-‐convenors: Renate Haas, University of Kiel, Germany Iil Ba, Boaziỗi University of Istanbul, Turkey María Socorro Suárez Lafuente, Universidad de Oviedo, Spain Women’s and Gender Studies have established themselves as a vibrant, highly innovative field of English Studies and contribute decisively to the crucial role the discipline plays among the humanities in Europe The plethora of achievements across the continent makes it difficult to get an overall picture, particularly as the strong interdisciplinary orientation of Women’s and Gender Studies encourages co-‐operation in smaller local or regional units Much can therefore be gained from European exchange and synergies, as ESSE has already demonstrated These effects can be heightened further by a network Women’s and Gender Studies cut across all sectors of English Studies and a network can help to bring them together for focused work, greater international visibility and well-‐ deserved prestige On the basis of a wide-‐ranging research project, the first part of the panel will give the first European overview of the current situation and highlight a number of landmark achievements The second part will be devoted to organisational matters, including the fleshing out of initiatives and activities (such as setting up a directory of researchers and research) Speakers: Florence Binard, Université Paris Diderot, Sorbonne Paris Cité, France Renate Haas, University of Kiel, Germany María Socorro Suárez Lafuente, Universidad de Oviedo, Spain RT12: “Shakespeare in the Second Language Classroom” Co-‐convenor: Delilah Bermudez Brataas, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Mention Shakespeare to a group of primary or secondary students, and you will get an equal measure of excitement and fear Excitement over his iconic status and his universal presence in popular culture, and fear over his “difficult” language This is particularly true for the second language classroom However, across Scandinavia (and Europe), 384 Shakespeare is regularly mentioned by name in national curriculums The Norwegian National Curriculum, for example, states: «Engelskspråklig litteratur, fra barnerim til Shakespeare, kan gi leseglede for livet og en dypere forståelse for andre og seg selv.» [English Literature, from nursery rhymes to Shakespeare, can offer a life-‐long joy of reading and a deeper understanding of others and oneself] This roundtable seeks to consider the innovative ways educators encourage students to appreciate Shakespeare and his language, and to interrogate the ways Shakespeare remains a resource for language learning across Scandinavia and Europe The panel will include both educators and critics to discuss methods, resources, experiences, challenges, translations, adaptations, teaching through performance, and ways of encouraging a wider use of Shakespeare at all education, skill and age levels Speakers: Delilah Bermudez Brataas (Chair), Associate Professor of English, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway Erica Hateley, Professor of
