"Educated Playing: University Drama in Early Modern Europe"
Thirty-Seventh International Congress on Medieval Studies
Western Michigan University
Kalamazoo, Michigan
2-5 May 2002
The International Congress on Medieval Studies invites submissions for a
Special Session on early modern university drama. The session seeks to
offer new perspectives on an important sector of European theater, one
which has intimate ties with humanist learning, neoclassicism, and even
court and popular playing.
Submissions might address but are certainly not limited to the following
questions: How might our contemporary pedagogies usefully employ
university plays, which were themselves primarily educational exercises?
What do individual plays and/or performances contribute to our
understanding of early modern university culture? Of university curricula?
What traces of native dramatic elements survive in the dominantly
neoclassical university drama of Europe? How do the unique performance
circumstances of university plays affect issues of gender and sexuality?
Of class? What material and/or theoretical issues impede investigations
into these questions?
PROPOSALS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 1 SEPTEMBER 2001. Please send all
submissions by electronic attachment (or cut-and-pasted), or if necessary
by hard copy, to:
