"Rethinking Time and Space in Dante's Worlds"
We are interested in 20-25 minute papers that deal with any aspect of time
and space in Dante (and other authors who adopt a Dantean topos). Papers
focusing on Dantean perspective in other texts, poetic time vs. historical
time in the Middle Ages, or on Dantean art are also welcome. Other
possible topics include: the <u>Commedia</u>'s past-present-future as a
text, Christian vs. classical history, poetic lineage, <u>translatio
studii</u>, Dante's refiguring of the classical past, space and travel in
the <u>Commedia</u>, memory and time in the <u>VN</u>, Dantean
archeologies, ancients and moderns in the <u>Commedia</u>, Dantean
journeys, definitions of time in medieval philosophy, gendered space,
Trojan and Theban space, etc.
