Glastonbury in Europe, Europe in Glastonbury: Pluralities of Issues, Methods, Perspectives
Panel Proposal: Marion Bowman, The Open University, UK
Glastonbury, the small town in southwest England that is known inter alia as the cradle of English Christianity, the outer world equivalent of the inner world of Avalon and heart chakra of planet earth, has rightly attracted scholarly attention from scholars both within and outwith the UK. Glastonbury's influence is also felt beyond the UK, through products, music, ideas, websites and material culture originating in Glastonbury and in the status accorded to it by spiritual practitioners from Europe. The establishment of Goddess conferences and temples on the Glastonbury Goddess model in the Netherlands and Hungary are one example of this.
European scholars working on Glastonbury, or working with individuals or groups for whom Glastonbury is significant, rarely come together to compare research findings, perspectives and methodology, but in doing so could take forward the study both of this site and the field of multivalent contemporary sacred sites. This is therefore a panel proposal calling for a range of papers on this topic, with the intention of creating a network of knowledge which would be multi-sited and mutually beneficial.
If you would like to participate, please send titles and abstracts of 150 words to marion.bowman@open.ac.uk by November 28.
Best wishes,
Marion
