We are soliciting abstracts for a special session at the Sixteenth Century
Studies Conference to be held in Denver, CO, October 25-28,
2001. Specifically, we seek proposals that complicate and/or interrogate
the Early Modern subject and recent critical approaches to questions of
the Early Modern subject and subjectivity, particularly in terms of gender
and how this might productively trouble more traditional configurations of
subjectivity. Work on the Early Modern subject has tended to define and
reify an apparent binary of the "interior" aesthetic subject and the
"exterior," culturally determined subject-position. Are there other, more
nuanced modes of approach? And, in light of both still-emerging women's
writing from the period and the "difference of gender," should such a
consideration entail a move away from the apparent imperative of the
interior/exterior binary?
Papers should be of 20-minute reading length. Send brief c.v. and
one-page abstract to Gary Ettari or Heather Easterling, box 354330,
English Department, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
98195-4330. Abstracts will also be accepted via e-mail at
poetboy@u.washington.edu or heasterl@u.washington.edu
Deadline for submission is March 8, 2001
