> The International Congress on Medieval Studies invites submissions for a
> Special Session on continental university drama in early modern Europe.
> 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.
>
> Those interested in submitting abstracts should limit their scope to
> university drama originating outside of England. Submissions might address
> but are certainly not limited to the following questions:
>
> --How might our contemporary pedagogies usefully employ university plays,
> which were themselves chiefly educational exercises?
>
> --What do individual plays and/or performances contribute to our
> understanding of early modern university culture on the European
> continent? Of university curricula?
>
> --How do the intellectual climates of specific universities highlight the
> plays that were performed within their walls?
>
> --What traces of native, popular, and/or vernacular dramatic elements
> survive in the dominantly neoclassical university drama?
>
> --How do the unique performance circumstances of university plays affect
> issues of gender and/or sexuality? Of class?
>
> --What material and/or theoretical issues impede investigations into these
> questions?
>
>
> PROPOSALS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 20 SEPTEMBER 2002. Please send all
> submissions by electronic attachment or cut-and-pasted (or if necessary by
> hard copy) to:
