The Rhetorics and Rituals of (Un)veiling in Early Modern Europe

University of Michigan
October 3-5, 1997

In European culture from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries a
dichotomy between a supposed "natural" body and its cultural veiling was
not clear cut.  Both the body and its various cultural coverings could be
porous, as were the concomitant concepts of "public" and "private".  This
interdisciplinary conference at the University of Michigan (October 3-5,
1997) considers various manifestations and significances of a gendered
body and its veiling in social practices and discursive constructions.
Ten visiting scholars will deliver papers alongside a nearly equal number
of local faculty and graduate students.

The keynote address will be given by Peter Stallybrass and Ann Rosalind
Jones.  Visitors are Giulia Calvi, Tom Conley, William Eamon, Valentin
Groebner, Katherine Park, Patricia Parker, Richard Rambuss and Patricia
Seed.  Papers will address such topics as costume, anatomy, scientific
"secrets", cartography, rhetorical and legal notions of the "veil", erotic
practices of revelation and concealment in painting and Neoplatonism, and
colonizing practices in the "New World".  An exhibition, concert by the
Harp Consort, and workshops are also planned.

Conference program below. For more information, contact Pat Simons in
History of Art (313) 764-5400 or see our website:  www.umich.edu/~veil/
