ROMANTIC COSMOPOLITANISM:
THE 12th ANNUAL NORTH AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF ROMANTICISM (NASSR)
CONFERENCE
CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite our fellow Romanticists to the University of Colorado in Boulder,
CO for the 2004 NASSR Conference, "Romantic Cosmopolitanism," to be held
9-12 September 2004 at the Millennium Hotel in beautiful and sublime
Boulder, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Romantic Cosmopolitanism
provides an opportunity to query our period from the perspectives of the
international, the global, the cosmic, the worldly, and the sophisticated.
The term expands upon certain notions of region and place that some would
deem central to the aesthetics and politics of Romanticism. It also invites
us to think about alternatives to more typical moves to organize Romantic
culture either around individuals or nation-states. Possible topics might
include: the country and the city; rethinking the cosmos, cosmopolitan
science; cosmopolitan poetics; the global, the local, and the national;
women and the world; Romanticism and indigenous cultures; civilization and
Kultur; popular culture and the cosmopolitan; the cosmopolitan roots of
inderdisciplinarity and comparatist studies; metropolitan centers and racial
others; cosmopolitan education: grand tours and world literature; exile;
trade and culture; queering sophistication; eschewing the cosmopolitan: the
local, the rural, the individual; the provincial and the urbane;
cosmo-bodies; reconfiguring Europe during the Napoleonic era; ecopolitics
and ecopoetics of Romantic cosmopolitanism and provincialism;
cosmopolitanism and class; locating cosmopolitanism geographically and
geopolitically; the sophisticated traveler; cosmopolitanism and/against
imperialism; worldly genders; cosmopolitan coteries.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS JANUARY 15, 2004.
