CFP: Memory, Mourning, and Representation in the 18th C. (4/14/05; NEASECS, 9/30/05-10/2/05)

Performing the Everyday in 18th C Art and Literature (II):
"Memory, Mourning, and Representation"
Deadline: April 14

  In the 18th century as now, grief and loss were inescapable aspects of
everyday life. Yet so too
were strategies of remembrance, consolation and commemoration. I am seeking
papers for a panel addressing the topic "Memory, Mourning and
Representation" to be presented at NEASECS 2005 "The Eighteenth-Century
Everyday: Remembrance and Representation" (Fredericton, New Brunswick, 30
September 2 October 2005). Topics might include both personal and public
elegy; portraits, death masks, and funerary sculpture; infant/child
mortality; mourning practices; and literary representations of both
mourners and the dead.

Please send brief abstracts (no more than 300 words) in the body of your
email to
