Plymouth State University
31st Annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum
Friday and Saturday 16-17 April 2010
Call for Papers and Sessions
“Time, Temporality, History”
We invite abstracts in medieval and Early Modern studies that consider questions of periodization, historicity, and temporality. Papers may consider:
-> how people conceived of, constructed, interacted with, measured, or produced “time” in medieval and Early Modern cultures
-> how we currently construct or deconstruct history
-> how studying temporality illuminates other subjects.
Papers need not be confined to the theme, but may cover many aspects of medieval and Renaissance life, literature, languages, art, philosophy, theology, history and music. Student sessions welcome.
This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Carolyn Dinshaw, Professor of English/Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University. Dr. Dinshaw, the author of Getting Medieval: Sexualities and Communities, Pre- and Postmodern and Chaucer’s Sexual Poetics, researches and publishes widely on medieval literature and culture, feminist studies, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender studies, history of sexuality, theories of history and historiography, and mysticism. Her most recent work focuses on theories and experiences of temporality.
Students, faculty, and independent scholars are welcome.
