Peterloo at 200 (1819-2019): Histories, Narratives, Representations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keats-Shelley House, Rome<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 July 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Peterloo Massacre has been dubbed \u201cthe bloodiest political event of the nineteenth century on English soil\u201d (Poole 2007, 111). Its psychological, sociocultural and political reverberations reach far and wide. The approaching bicentenary of the Peterloo Massacre calls for reappraisal and questioning through the (sometimes) distorting, yet revealing lens of narrative \u2013 that is, through the numerous ways in which Peterloo has been represented and retold in literature, art, on stage and on film. Writing about popular protest in 1819, John Gardner states that \u201cEvents are usually ephemeral and those present are often unclear about what actually happened. What does remain is the dominant representation of the event, the story that is put before the public and believed\u201d (2011, 3). However, hegemonic representations tend to engender competing, counter-representations. These co-existing, parallel narratives are the focus of the \u201cPeterloo at 200\u201d Conference as they point to the way in which texts (literary and otherwise) interact with events, participate in their representation, and interrogate the \u201cuncertain\u201d facts determining their shape and significance. In this regard, these texts at once deconstruct and reconstruct the historical event, either by questioning established or hegemonic narrations, or by producing a version of the facts in and of itself, whose truthfulness might be as debatable. From this perspective, Peterloo may arguably be viewed not only as an event, but as \u201can effect,\u201d to quote Slavoj Zizek, \u201cthat seems to exceed its causes\u201d (2014, 15).<\/p>\n

In search of complexity and counter-perspectives, the organizers of \u201cPeterloo at 200\u201d welcome research that interrogates unconventional Peterloo-related texts (literary, non-literary, dramatic, visual) and the resonance that Peterloo had outside English borders. We especially welcome proposals that highlight Peterloo as a cause in and of itself, and the texts it spawned as the effects that \u201cexceed\u201d it \u2013 texts which started from it but are irreducible to it, remediations (Bolter and Grusin 2000) of a brutal historical fact that recast it as real and imaginary, factual and fictional at once. Papers may focus on one or more of the following:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u2022 Romantic poetry and drama<\/p>\n

\u2022 Romantic and Victorian periodical essays<\/p>\n

\u2022 Less canonical Victorian novels (such as Hale White\u2019s 1887 Revolution on Tanner\u2019s Lane)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Court transcripts (e.g. the Samuel Bamford trial)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Visual culture and satire (e.g. George Cruikshank)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Philosophical writings (e.g. Jeremy Bentham)<\/p>\n

\u2022 The European reception of Peterloo (the press, letters, essays, poems)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Contemporary narratives (e.g. Mike Leigh\u2019s Peterloo, 2018)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

By investigating different textual typologies and narrative modes, we hope to recast Peterloo as a polysemic, meaning-making site of textual exploration.<\/p>\n

Abstracts of 250 words should be sent to\u00a0a.anselmo@univda.it<\/a>,marco.canani@unimi.it<\/a>, and\u00a0giuseppe.albano@keats-shelley-house.org<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a030 March 2019<\/strong>. Emails confirming acceptance will be sent out by 15 April 2019.<\/p>\n
