Call for Paper Proposals:
American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
Montreal, Quebec
March 30 - April 2, 2006
The Strange Eighteenth Century:
If the physical world undoubtedly became less "strange" in the eighteenth
century, then the people inhabiting it were becoming, perversely, stranger than
ever. The vast movement toward large urban communities surely produced a
particularly modern phenomenon - the sensation of being surrounded at all times
by complete and utter strangers. Proposals are invited for papers examining the
ramifications of such estrangements, or for similar considerations of the
concept of "the strange" within eighteenth-century culture.
Proposal Deadline: 15 September 2005
