PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY LEGEND
International Society for Contemporary Legend Research
Twenty-fourth International Conference

Copenhagen, Denmark

May 29 - June 1, 2006


The International Society for Contemporary Legend Research is pleased to
announce that the 2006 Perspectives on Contemporary Legend Twenty-fourth
International Conference is to be held in the 'Blixen Room' in the 'Black
Diamond' building of the Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark.
(http://www.kb.dk/kultur/diamant/index-en.htm).

Also, in connection with the conference there will be a reception and tour of
the collections and facilities at the nearby Dansk Folkemindesamling
(http://www.dafos.dk/index.htm).

Copenhagen quite often is wonderful at this particular time of the year, and the
conference will take place in the very centre of the city, within comfortable
walking distance of sights, shopping and suitable settings for socializing.


Proposals for papers on all aspects of "contemporary," "urban," or "modern"
legend research are sought, as are those on any legend or legend-like tradition
that circulate actively at present or have circulated at an earlier historical
period. Previous discussions have ranged in focus from the ancient to the modern
(including Internet-lore) and have covered diverse cultures worldwide (including
our own academic world).

The 2006 meeting will be organized as a series of seminars at which the majority
of those who attend will present papers and/or contribute to discussion
sessions. Concurrent sessions will be avoided so that all participants can hear
all the papers. Proposals for special panels of papers, discussion sessions, and
other related events are encouraged.

To participate in the conference, please forward a title and abstract, along
with the appropriate conference fee, to Henrik Lassen by February 1, 2006.

Travel

Kastrup Airport is located about 15 kilometers from the centre of Copenhagen.
The easiest (and often the quickest) way to reach the city centre is to take a
train from the airport to Hovedbanegaarden, the central station. However, the
hotel is located about a kilometre from the main station, so depending on how
much luggage you have, you may need a cab from there. During the day, the train
runs every ten minutes from the airport station. See:
http://www.cph.dk/CPH/UK/MAIN/Getting+Here/

Renting a car is possible, but expensive and not recommended for a stay in
Copenhagen.

Taking a taxi from Kastrup Airport to the Cab Inn City hotel will cost
approximately 150-200 Danish Kroner, but will get you there directly.


Accommodations

Rooms are reserved at the CAB INN City hotel, a short walk from 'the Black
Diamond.'

Standard rooms: 525,- Dkr., single; 645,- Dkr., double. ('Commodore class' and
Captain's class' rooms also available at rates up to 845,- Dkr. for a Captain's
Class double room). All rooms have shower/bathrooms, TV, and kettles + free
coffee & tea, but breakfast is not included. Instead the hotel has a 'morning
cafe.' Parking is available at 120 Dkr. per day.

For more information and booking see: http://www.capinn.com/UK/index.htm

The Cab Inn City hotel is located across the street from Copenhagen's main
police station, very close to Tivoli and the Glyptoteket museum (classical
Greek, Roman, and Egyptian art) and less than a kilometre from the main square/
city hall (R=E5dhuspladsen) and Str=F8get.
