A Conference organised by the Centre for Comparative Literature, Goldsmiths, University of London, in collaboration with the Society for European Festivals Research.

Day One: 8 June 2022 (1.45-5.00 pm BST): The Public Stage

Day Two: 9 June 2022 (2.00-5.00 pm BST): Festivals

These two half-days of talks and discussion will explore new perspectives on the representation of the Orient in early modern European art and performance between 1529 and 1683, the period framed by the two sieges of Vienna by Ottoman armies.
