  Characterizing the Celt: Post/Colonial Representations of Identity and Alterity.
   
  Papers are invited that examine representations of Celtic cultures and peoples expressed as a means to self-identification and as modes of colonial, postcolonial or exilic discourse. Submissions are welcome that employ various theoretical perspectives and explore different historical moments and geographical spaces. Panelists are free to examine single literary texts, literary and artistic movements, music, cartoons and caricatures, the visual arts, or any combination of the same. Papers are also welcome which discuss hybrid representations of post/colonized Celtic identities, such as Ulster Protestants, the Breton’s relationship to France, the Galician’s relationship to Iberia, the liminal position of Wales in relationship to England’s conception of the United “Three” Kingdoms, the Celt as American immigrant or Australian convict, etc.
