However, some might like to engage ideas on the proposed theme, \u201cDickensian Landscapes\u201d, a timely topic given the distinctive setting of this year\u2019s venue, but also because the very notion of landscape is not only still prevalent&nbsp;today, but seems to have morphed into multiple new derivatives such as ideoscapes, ethnoscapes, technoscapes, financescapes or mediascapes. How powerful a tool the notion of landscapes and its declensions could be to understand the self and the world is precisely what Dickens had already realized and shown in his work.

Partlow, Jr. Prize\"<br \/>Applications are invited for this award, named in honour of the original Secretary-Treasurer and one of the founding members of the Dickens Society. It is in the form of EITHER one stipend of $500, OR two of $300 (if two recipients are chosen), and is intended to defray costs of attending this Dickens Symposium, in order to deliver a paper on any aspect of Dickens\u2019s life or work. The registration fee&nbsp;and cost of the Dickens Dinner will also be waived. Eligibility is restricted to students (graduate or undergraduate), independent scholars,&nbsp;and non-tenured faculty. Candidates should submit a CV, and a completed paper of twenty minutes duration, to one of the Symposium organizers (marie-amelie.coste@hotmail.com;&nbsp;christine.huguet-meriaux@univ-lille3.fr;&nbsp;nathalie.vanfasse@univ-amu.fr). Should the&nbsp;paper be of publishable quality, the Dickens Quarterly shall have first right of refusal. The winner will be informed of the Society\u2019s decision in&nbsp;April 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\"Particulars\"<br \/>The Symposium is to be held in one of the wine regions of Southern France, Languedoc-Roussillon, at a privately-owned country estate called Sagnes, located on the outskirts of B\u00e9ziers and surrounded by the vineyards and olive trees that make the charm of this area. Accommodation will be in B\u00e9ziers, with a shuttle service to and from the conference centre. The Dickens Dinner will take place on site, and two optional evenings will be proposed to delegates: one on board of a barge along the Canal du Midi, one of the greatest engineering achievements under the reign of Louis XIV; another meal will take place at the Cistercian Abbey of Fontfroide, following the visit of the Abbey and also of nearby Narbonne, one of the main cities of Gaul during the Roman Empire.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>Hotels: a list of hotels will be provided shortly.
