Организаторы: CVAR and Othello's Island

Othello's Island is now a well-established annual conference that aims to explore Byzantine Medieval, Renaissance and early-modern artistic, literary, social and cultural history, and their subsequent legacies, in a truly multidisciplinary way (it's not just Othello and not just Shakespeare!).

​Now in its six year, this interdisciplinary conference brings together academics, researchers and research students from all over the world, and covers a wide range of topics relating to the Medieval, Renaissance and early modern periods, in a stunning medieval city location.

The keynote speaker for 2018 will be Professor Henri Frances (American University of Beirut)​: "Donor Portraits in Byzantine Art"

If you are interested in giving a talk at the conference please submit a proposal for a paper. Standard papers are 20 minutes long, followed by 5 or 10 minutes for questions.

We are very open minded on the topic of papers, so if you have an idea for a presentation that is not covered by the suggestions given above please feel free to submit a proposal, or contact us first to discuss the idea.

Thematic papers on Art History, Literature, Archaeology, History, Social and Poltical History, Cultural Studies and the Colonial and Post-Colonial legacy and use of medieval and renaissance history are welcome, but we also welcome 'wildcard' papers that do not fit into standard categories, and papers which are highly speculative and formative. 

As our title suggests, we welcome papers on Othello and Shakespeare, but we are a interdisciplinary conference, and welcome papers on topics ranging from Byzantine icon paintings, to the writings of Aphra Behn, or from Medieval manuscripts to the wine trade in Renaissance Europe (and much more besides).
