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.
