Call for Papers: RSA Conference, March 29-31, 2000
**Gender Performance in the Renaissance**
Recently, interest has grown in identifying and defining the ways in which
gender is variously performed in Renaissance literature. This panel
invites papers that explore, in particular, the connection between the
performative aspect of gender and of genre in the Renaissance. The
critical term current in the Renaissance for both gender and genre was
"kind," a term used to signify the concept of natural category, which would
have applied both to kinds of literature and kinds of identity. How are
these two "kinds" of category related, and in what ways are both genre and
gender to be conceived as the function of ongoing performance? The panel
welcomes a range of approaches, from topics that focus on the role of
gender in relation to a specific genre, writer, or text, to those that
consider issues of gender and genre more generally.
