To technologically-adept medievalists, with apologies for cross-posting.
There are still places available in the New Chaucer Society e-seminar on Genre, Gender and
Sexualities. Participants in the e-seminar will correspond by e-mail before meeting at the
New Chaucer Society Congress in London, July 14-17, 2000.
If sexualities are cultural productions, they can be expected to be historically specific:
does medieval literature in general and the work of Chaucer in particular write sexualities in
ways alien to us, or do we find evidence of the continuity of sexual identity? Are such
culturally embedded sexualities discursively specific, differently produced according to
genre? And can genres themselves thus be said to have sexual identity? Such questions
will be the focus of the e-seminar on genre, gender and sexualities; participants of all shades
of opinion are welcome.
Anyone interested in being part of this discussion should e-mail a position statement of up
to 500 words to Sarah Salih<[log in to unmask] and/or Jean-Pascal
Pouzet<[log in to unmask] by August 18th, when we will review all
submissions and make final decisions.
