'Survivals: the Past in the Present' Postgraduate Conference, Cardiff
University, 10-11 September 2005.

How do the texts and ideas of the past act upon the present? Does the 
way that
we read the past say more about us than it does about any "real" past? Do we
speak the past, or does the past speak us?

'Survivals: The Past in the Present' is a postgraduate conference 
organised by
postgraduate students in the School of English, the Centre for Critical and
Cultural Theory and the Centre for Language and Communication Research at
Cardiff University, Wales, UK. The conference will be held on 10th and
