essay collection
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 15, 2001
Abstracts sought for a collection of essays on Widowhood and Visual
Culture in Early Modern Europe. Desirable submissions will engage some or
all of the following questions: How and why has widowhood, both during and
after the mourning ritual, been represented? Conversely, what does
widowhood represent--socially, politically, psychologically,
allegorically? Finally, what is the relationship between widows--women,
at a particular historical moment, caught in a situation of complex and
complicating transformation--and representation? Essays might address
issues such as memory, ritual, spectacle, patronage, gender (including
masculinity), and class. Interdisciplinary approaches and new
methodologies are encouraged. Please send inquiries or 1-2 page abstract
