The Medieval Romance Society is sponsoring the following session at the
37th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, MI, in 2002.
"Medieval Romance and Postcolonial Theory: Exploring Empire and Culture"
This session on postcolonial theory invites proposals for papers that
investigate the "colonial" impulse of medieval romance. Topics for
consideration include racialized geographies, cultural hybridity, and
representations of foreignness from the perspectives of such postcolonial
theorists as Antonio Gramsci, Homi Bhabha, and Gayatri Spivak. We are also
interested in papers dealing with romance texts of the New World.
Please note that the Medieval Romance Society is particularly interested in
cross-cultural issues and romance; therefore, we welcome papers which
examine medieval romance literature from any culture/language (English,
Celtic, French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc.). We also welcome papers
from scholars of all levels--from the graduate student to senior academic.
Papers are to be no more than 20 minutes. The deadline for receipt of
abstracts is September 15, 2001. Please submit one-page abstracts (plus any
requests for audio-visual equipment) via email, fax, or regular mail to
