CALL FOR PAPERS
TRADING PLACES: Male Portraiture and Performances of Identity in Early Modern
Italy
Proposals for a special session at the annual conference of the Renaissance
Society of America to be held in Tempe, Arizona, April 11-13, 2002. Abstracts
sought for a panel on male portraiture in early modern Italy. Desirable
submissions will re-read ‘Renaissance Man’ as an unstable and anxious socio-
cultural construct and will address the performance of gender, class, and/or
race. 20-minute papers might focus on issues such as ambiguous identities,
blurred boundaries or failed masquerade within a variety of portrait types (self,
individual, family or group portraits, donor portraits within religious
narratives, political portraits, allegories and personifications).
Interdisciplinary approaches and new methodologies are encouraged.
Please send 150-word abstract and 1-page c.v. by April 15th, 2001 to Allison
Levy, Center for Research on Women, Newcomb College, Tulane University, New
Orleans, LA 70118; alevy2@tulane.edu; 504-865-5238 (office); 504-862-8948 (fax).
