Call for Papers
Graduate students are invited to submit proposals for an interdisciplinary conference to be held on November 13-14, 1999, which will examine the connections between history and theory. The conference will take up issues and ideas raised by many contemporary theories available to us - critical theory, cultural studies, feminism, queer theory, and postcolonial studies, among others - examining their usefulness in the study of the past as practiced in various disciplinary settings. The conference aims to explore ways various theories reshape historical inquiry, as well as the contexts in which these theories have developed. We encourage submissions which stress the dialogic relationship between history and theory, by applying theoretical models in the analysis of a historical problem or by historicizing the development of a theory or body of theories.
Possible avenues of investigation might include, but are not limited to
-Theorizing sexual difference -Queer histories -Theories of inclusion and exclusion -Postcolonial sexuality -The politics of power -Constructing masculinities -Historicizing the body and/or the senses -Listening practices -Visual culture/spectatorship -Race, gender, nation -The state of feminism/feminist history -History and memory
Submission Deadline: August 15, 1999

-A one-page abstract with no information identifying the submitter -A cover letter which includes institutional affiliation and contact information
