CALL FOR PAPERS 

The 15th Congress of the International Society for Folk Narrative Research (ISFNR) will convene in Athens, Greece, on June 21-27, 2009.

The International Society for Folk Narrative Research is an international academic society whose objective is to develop scholarly work in the field of folk narrative research. The research interests of ISFNR members around the world cover a number of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including in addition to folklore, anthropology, cultural studies, comparative literature, language, history, museology, education and ethnography from the point of view of narratives.

The 15th Congress in Athens coincides with the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the ISFNR in 1959, in Kiel and Copenhagen. It is the second time in the history of the ISFNR that Athens will host the Conference. The 4th “International Congress for Folk-Narrative Research”, held in Athens in September 1964, consolidated the foundation of the ISFNR in that it approved its Statutes by means of the General Meeting of the Members of the Congress.
