    >>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
