Report on a one day symposia organised by the Centre for the History of the Gothic, Monday April 24th, 10.00-16.30.
The symposia on Gothic regions,
attended by academics, early career researchers and PhD students from a number
of institutions, addressed the idea of place and how it relates to the Gothic. The
symposia also explored how such Gothic sites might be developed into places of
interest for the Gothically minded tourist. The day was led by two external
speakers (Dr Catherine Spooner from the University of Lancaster and Dr Emma
McEvoy from the University of Westminster), who began the symposia with a
workshop that explored the relationship between tourism and the Gothic via a
discussion of a number of sociological and cultural analyses of the topic.

Calm I'm a Ripperologist: Appropriation, Negotiation and Protest in the East
End’.

In
the second workshop attendees explored specific examples of Gothic tourism that
they had brought with them. After a lively debate, Catherine and Emma gave
papers which addressed their recent research on Jack the Ripper guided walks,
and the Lancashire Witch trials.

Psychogeography and the Lancashire Witches’.

The symposia concluded with a
roundtable discussion of the day and it was agreed that as we had
representatives present from four northern universities that it would be appropriate
to develop an AHRC network bid around the theme of the ‘Northern Gothic’. Dr
Linnie Blake, Director of the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies at
Manchester Metropolitan University, was present at the event and as she has led
on several symposia on ‘Gothic North’ and secured a PhD scholarship on the
topic, it was agreed that she would be best placed to lead on this initiative
with the Centre for the History of the Gothic being a participant member of the
network.
