'Survivals: the Past in the Present'
Postgraduate Conference, Cardiff University,
10-11 September 2005.

How do the texts and ideas of the past act upon the
present? Does the way that we read the past say more
about us than it does about any "real" past? Do we
speak the past, or does the past speak us?

'Survivals: The Past in the Present' is a
postgraduate conference organised by postgraduate
students in the School of English, the Centre for
Critical and Cultural Theory and the Centre for
Language and Communication Research at Cardiff
University, Wales, UK. The conference will be held on
