Call for papers:
THE "ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT": WHAT IS IT?
a panel to be held at the Twenty-Third Annual Conference of
the Northeast American Society for Eighteenth-Century
Studies
December 9-12, 1999
University of New Hampshire
Durham, New Hampshire
Recent discussions in the humanities and the social sciences
regularly presume that there is something called the
"Enlightenment Project" that needs to be redeemed,
reconstructed, deconstructed, gotten back to, or gotten
over. Yet those who invoke the "Enlightenment project" have
not always been very precise as to what this project was
supposed to involve or very forthcoming in their account of
who was allegedly involved in it. In
the meantime, at least some historians of the eighteenth
century have expressed doubts about the existence of "the"
Enlightenment and have instead suggested that there were a
number of different enlightenments --
each, presumably, with its own projects.
This panel invites papers that address any of the manifold
historical and conceptual issues at stake in invocations of
the "Enlightenment project."
Please submit proposals by Monday, April 5, 1999, to
