CALL FOR PAPERS
FIFTH ANGLO-ITALIAN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY CONFERENCE
KING’S MANOR, UNIVERSITY OF YORK
2-3 SEPTEMBER 2015
The Italian and British Societies for Eighteenth Century Studies are proud to announce the Fifth in their series of International Conferences. The Conference will be held under the auspices of the Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies at the King’s Manor in the University of York. The Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies in the University of York is widely regarded as one of the most distinguished Centres for eighteenth century studies in Europe and in 2011 proved to be an Ideal location for the Third Conference.
The main theme of the 2015 Conference will be ‘Politics’ in the extended sense and we invite papers on all aspects of Politics. Politics may be construed in the more traditional sense: institutional, personal, national, local, structural. In recent decades Politics has been seen in the context of commerce, consumption, travel, fashion and reading. Furthermore, the presentation of Politics has aroused much interest: in novels, poetry, art, theatre, aesthetics, and, not least, ritual. Politics is inevitably linked to journalism, periodical and essay writing, the development of new genres and the place of the literary market more generally. And there remains, as ever, the issue of the reception to politics, political writing and political philosophy. The possibilities are almost endless. Although by no means requisite, comparative and reception approaches are highly desirable.
Proposals are invited for 20 minute papers. Abstracts, preferably in English, of no more than 200 words should be sent to Frank O’Gorman ([log in to unmask]); Lidia De Michelis ([log in to unmask]) and Lia Guerra ([log in to unmask]), by 31 March 2015.
The Conference Fee (including a reception, two lunches and coffee) will be £70, a very reasonable amount for a major International Conference. Postgraduates and early career scholars are particularly welcome both to attend and to offer papers. Individuals are invited to negotiate their own accommodation, which at all levels is readily available and by no means expensive in York. Assistance, relevant lists and suggestions are available from the York Tourist Office and, indeed, from the Conference Organizers.
