to address these concerns. Possible subjects might include:
Ritual techniques and practices; memory sites; arts of memory and
memorialistion; customs, histories and records; forms of devotion;
calendar customs; ceremony, liturgy and the sacred; images and icons;
magic and superstition; demystification; death and dying; geographies of
the afterlife; ghosts and demons, ghost stories and ghost writers; dreams,
allegory.
Papers from the perspectives of literature, history, art history, gender
studies and other relevant fields are welcome. Please submit abstracts of
