of Law, University of Southampton

I’m
pleased to announce this Call for Abstracts for the sixth annual Law
and Humanities Roundtable 2024: 'Kafka's imprint on law and the arts:
100 years since The Trial'. The event will be held in person, most
likely at the University of Southampton in July 2024 (date & time tbc). We
would be delighted to receive draft titles and abstracts (up to 200 words) for
paper presentations responding to this theme by the deadline of Tue 2nd Jan 2024. 



 



We
welcome paper presentations on all topics and themes relating to the texts,
performances, adaptations, translations, borrowings, of Kafka's work (including
his novels and short fiction) and its influence and impact on law and legal
studies.



 



Further
details about this workshop, and publication plans in the journal Law and
Humanities (a special issue to mark the centenary of The Trial's
first publication in 1925) can be found in the CfA attached. Abstract
submissions, as well as any informal queries, can be addressed to David Gurnham
(d.gurnham@soton.ac.uk), or
co-convenor Ekaterina Yahyaoui (ekaterina.yahyaoui@universityofgalway.ie).
