Hyatt Regency on the Hudson, Jersey City, NJ
The 2004 Romance Studies Colloquium will take place from October 14 to 16

celebration across the Romance literatures. Material, sociological, and
theoretical implications of celebration will be considered. Comparative and

theory, cultural studies and media) are actively encouraged. Topics from
any period in the Romance literatures may include, but are not limited to
the following:
CELEBRATION!: Carnival and other holidays, rites of passage, victory
(military, sporting, political); commemoration of (national) heritage,
regional identity, gay pride, religious belief; the theories of Bourdieu,
Turner, Bakhtin; the rhetoric of celebration (ode, epithalamion, blason);
literary representations of royal entries, banquets, weddings, rituals.
Proposals for twenty-minute papers (maximum one page, in English) should be
