‘Post-Devolution Wales: The Re-Imagined Nation’
Fourteenth Annual Conference
1-3 March 2002, Gregynog
Postponed since March 2001, owing to the foot-and-mouth crisis, the fourteenth annual conference organised by the Association for the Study of Welsh Writing in English, at Gregynog, is to be devoted to a consideration of the ways in which Wales has, and currently does, imagine and culturally construct itself. To what extent is post-devolution Wales in the process of creating new images of itself? Do we now look back with new eyes on the achievements of earlier Welsh writers? Is the relation between literature and its sister arts changing in Wales, with the rise to greater recognition of contributors from such fields as the visual arts? These are some of the questions we will be discussing in Gregynog 2002. Speakers at this conference will be the same as those previously advertised for 2001, including leading writers, critics and artists, such as Iwan Bala, Jeremy Hooker, Stephen Knight, Ceridwen Lloyd-Morgan, Christopher Meredith, Dic Owen, Anne Price-Owen and Ned Thomas.
Organisers:
Jane Aaron, University of Glamorgan
Tony Curtis, University of Glamorgan

After the sad postponement of the previous year, the 2002 conference saw 73 people attend and was, organiser Jane Aaron recalls, very successful.
