Perspectives on Contemporary Legend
Perspectives on Contemporary Legend, the Meeting of the International Society for Contemporary Legend Research, is held annually, historically alternating between North America in odd-numbered years and Europe in even – the Corona crisis in 2020 turned this upside down: North America in even years, Europe in odd ones. It is a small, convivial conference of scholars working on this dynamic field of inquiry.

Hi. What are the dates for the meeting in Tarragona?
Hi Andrea. As you may have noticed by now, the 2019 conference in Tarragona had to be skipped due to COVID-19. The conference will now be held from June 28 to July 2. However, the meeting will be held online using Zoom because of Corona. If you are already a member of ISCLR for 2021, the conference costs will be low: 12 USD (which also allows you to view the recorded presentations at a later date).
