The Grimm Brothers Today: Kinder- und Hausmärchen and Its Legacy, 200 Years After

An international symposium in Lisbon, June 21-23, 2012


Call for papers

It also provided an enduring, if controversial, paradigm for folktale studies. As the bicentenary of the publication of KHM approaches, we invite scholars to appraise its significance today. We call for papers on all aspects of the Grimms' tales and their legacy, from a number of distinct perspectives. The symposium includes the following panels:

The deadline for panel and paper submissions is September 4, 2011. Please check the attached file (PDF) for more details.
