Subject: Conference Proposal: Disposable Culture and Spaces of
Consumption in Medieval Europe
To: Evelyn Welch <[log in to unmask]>
Dear Evelyn,
Rebecca and I proposing a session at the Medieval Academy meeting at
Yale in 2010. If you know of anyone who would like to submit a paper
proposal for the panel please do send this along to them.
Thanks,
Salvatore
Call for Papers:
Disposable Culture and Spaces of Consumption in Medieval Europe
This panel will explore the ways in which private or public acts of
consumption during the medieval period define relationships between
people and the spaces they inhabit. Paper proposals concerning the use
or consumption of material goods (culture) and how such consumptions
relate to gender and power will be of particular interest. The paper
proposals could cover but not necessarily be limited to the following:
the body (speech, body language, fashion/costume); space
(private/public, sacred/profane, architectural structures,
landscapes); gender/sexuality (visual signs of masculinity and
femininity, cultural assumptions about gender, attitudes toward sexual
practices and preferences); and human activities ("work" of medieval
people, making of material culture, prayer, pastimes/leisure, travel,
feasts/fasting).
We invite submissions from various disciplinary, interdisciplinary,
and comparative perspectives, focusing on individuals, single sects,
or groups. If you are interested in contributing to this panel, please
send a 250-500 word abstract of your proposed paper including your
theoretical framework and your primary sources to
[log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]
[18-21 March 2010. The annual meeting of the Medieval Academy will be
held 18-21 March 2010, on Yale University Campus, New Haven, hosted by
Connecticut College, Southern Connecticut State University, Trinity
College (Hartford), University of Connecticut, Wesleyan University,
and Yale University. The Program Committee invites proposals for
papers on all topics and in all disciplines and periods of medieval
studies. Any member of the Medieval Academy may submit a paper
proposal, except that those who presented papers at the annual
meetings of the Medieval Academy in 2008 and 2009 are not eligible to
speak in 2010. Please do not submit more than one proposal. Sessions
usually consist of three thirty-minute papers, and proposals should be
geared to that length. A different format for some sessions may be
chosen by the Program Committee after the proposals have been
reviewed. Session organizers may wish to propose different formats for
their sessions, subject to Program Committee approval.]
