Panel Discussion: Frontier Societies<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s an honour and a pleasure to invite you all to the panel discussion \u201cFrontier Societies\u201d, which will take place as part of this year\u2019s Anglophonia: New Frontiers<\/em> conference. The panel discussion will take place on Friday, 10 May, at 11 am in the Conference Hall at the faculty library.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The theme of the panel discussion will be frontier societies. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the term \u201cfrontier\u201d as \u201cthe extreme limit of settled land beyond which lies wilderness, especially in reference to the western US before Pacific settlement\u201c. Following a brief overview of how the frontier came to be defined, it can be inferred that the frontier as a concept does not refer to a physical reality, but rather to a \u201cprocess\u201d, and that it has the capacity to become a discursive construct. This issue has been addressed by numerous works of historical (meta)fiction that question the dominant narrative (or are even explicitly critical of it), which have garnered public attention and won critical acclaim over the past decades, and which will be discussed during the panel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
