THE EIGHTH ANNUAL UCCB STORYTELLING SYMPOSIUM

Dates: May 21 and 22, 2004

Sponsored by The University College of Cape Breton, in Sydney, Nova Scotia

Proposals for papers on any topic related to storytelling such as innovative
uses of storytelling in academic and other disciplines are solicited.
However, this year we are focussing on the ways stories are begun or ended
by traditional or modern storytellers, in an oral or textual medium. We are
looking for papers that, for example, examine the role of beginnings and
closures in creating reader engagement, in shaping the story or the
reception of the story.

The Symposium combines an informal evening of storytelling with a formal
segment; Saturday is set aside for the delivery of scholarly papers and
presentations to a mixed audience. Papers should be no more than 10 or 11
typewritten pages in order to be delivered in 20 minutes.

Queries, one page proposals, or completed papers may be sent to Afra
Kavanagh at

<afra_kavanagh@uccb.ca>, or to the address listed below. The deadline for
submissions is February 2, 2004.
