    CALL FOR PAPERS: WIDOWHOOD AND VISUAL CULTURE IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE,
    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
    and c.v. by January 15, 2001 to Allison Levy, Department of Art, Newcomb
    College, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA 70118; alevy2@tulane.edu;
