‘In/dependent Wales’
Gregynog Hall, Nr Newtown, Powys, 11-13 April 2014
The forthcoming referendum on Scottish independence has re-ignited discussion across the British Isles of questions concerning national identity and sovereignty, devolution and political union.
Lacking political independence, Welsh identity has long articulated itself through literature and culture. AWWE 2014 seeks to explore the numerous diverse ways in which Welsh writers, in both languages and across a broad historical period, have positioned themselves in relation to larger structures of power: colonialism; the British state; Europe; industrial capitalism; patriarchy;cultural institutions and/or literary traditions.
