medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
CFP: Women In/And/On Books (with apologies for cross-posting)
Special session sponsored by the Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship
International Medieval Congress
Western Michigan University
13-16 May 2010
We invite papers considering the relationship of women to books during any era or region in the Middle Ages. Possible papers might consider ways in which women have participated in the production and dissemination of books, whether as authors, scribes, patrons, or owners. Alternatively, papers might consider commentaries on women reading (both good and bad), the ways in which women are represented in books, or how the culture of the book helped to shape women's lived experience. We are particularly interested in developing an inter- or multi-disciplinary session.
Please submit 1-page abstracts to the following (preferably by e-mail) by 15 September 2009. Queries and letters of interest welcomed.
