Second Call for Papers
Geographies of the Eighteenth Century: The Question of the Global
Proposal Deadline: January 5, 2004
The third annual Bloomington 18th-Century Studies Workshop requests paper
proposals on the question of the global in the 18th century. What does it
mean to locate the invention of the global in the eighteenth century?
What does this location of the global legitimate or make visible? What
does it neglect or occlude? We would like to interrogate the meaning and
distinctiveness of "the global" in the eighteenth century, encouraging
comparisons across space and time, and debates across disciplines.
The workshop will be an interdisciplinary event May 19-22, 2004, with
20-30 scholars presenting, discussing, and debating their work over
several days in a congenial setting. It follows the success of two
previous workshops, and the inauguration of a center for 18th-century
studies at Indiana University. Accommodation and most meals and travel
expenses for participants will be covered by the workshop.
Applications are considered from scholars at all stages of their careers
and from all disciplines. Applications should include a CV and a two-page
proposal. Applications may be hard copy or electronic. Please direct
your application to the address below by January 5, 2004.
