>>Topic Open<<
You are cordially invited to submit abstracts for papers and session
proposals either on the conference theme or on any topic in medieval,
Renaissance, or early modern studies. “The Presence of the Past”
concerns questions such as these: in what ways are images, artifacts,
and institutions of the medieval and early modern periods part of the
contemporary world? What valid parallels or narratives connect these
periods to the world today? How can we address our own historical and
cultural situatedness? How did medieval and early modern cultures
themselves apprehend and address the presence of the past?
EXTENDED DEADLINE: Individual and panel submissions will be reviewed as
received until April 1, 2002
