Columbia University Medieval Guild Graduate Student Conference
"Bodies in Space: Performance in the Middle Ages"
Saturday, April 19, 2003

Key Note Speaker:
Margaret Pappano, Columbia University

We invite proposals for papers exploring performance, in its broadest
sense, in the Middle Ages. Papers may address performance in dramatic,
literary, political, ecclesiastical, courtly, domestic, and civic spaces;
representations of bodies and space in manuscript illustrations,
hagiographies, dramatic productions, feasts, processions, markets,
torture, and liturgies; the performance of race, class, and gender; the
role of music, art, and architecture in ritual and ceremony; questions of
methodology: local vs. macronic, historicism, dramaturgy; or examination
of modern productions of medieval drama.

Graduate students and recent recipients of the Ph.D. in Art History and
Architecture, Anthropology, Archaeology, Drama, History, Music,
Philosophy, Religion and all literature departments are invited to submit
a 250-word abstract and cover letter indicating any audio-visual
requirements by January 15, 2003:
