-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Reminder: 2 CFPs related to medieval and renaissance performance (9/15 deadline) Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:49:01 -0400 From: jill stevenson <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: PERFORM - Medieval Performing Arts <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] CFP: Where do we find new evidence for medieval performance studies? (09/15/06; Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, MI, 05/10-05/13/07) and CFP: Performance and Physical Memory (09/15/06; International Medieval Congress, Leeds, UK, 07/09-07/12/07) ********************************************************************** Expanding Our Resources: Where do we find new evidence for medieval performance studies? 2007 International Congress on Medieval Studies Kalamazoo, Michigan May 10-13, 2007 This panel seeks papers from scholars who are using unconventional and/or nontraditional evidence to investigate and theorize medieval performance. The panel hopes to highlight interdisciplinary research and to include papers that challenge traditional categories and modes of analysis. We are particularly seeking papers that argue for new ways of identifying performance in the Middle Ages. All national traditions, medieval periods, and genres of performance are welcome as topics. Although all abstracts are welcome, we particularly encourage scholars who have never before presented at the Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo or on a Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society panel to submit abstracts. You can find more information about the congress at Kalamazoo at http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/ One-page abstracts should be submitted to Jill Stevenson at [log in to unmask] by September 15th. Please include your contact information and any AV requests with your abstract. Feel free to email Jill if you have any questions. Please feel free to forward this call to other lists. I apologize for any repeat postings. ********************************************************************** Performance and Physical Memory International Medieval Congress in Leeds July 9-12, 2007 Although often described as ephemeral, a performance leaves traces of itself in many different places—the bodies of actors and spectators; the cities, structures, and landscapes where it is staged; and, the physical evidence that remains as “proof,” or suggestion, of the event. This panel seeks work that considers how Medieval and/or Renaissance performances linger as physical memories, both for Medieval and Renaissance communities and for 21st-century scholars. The panel is particularly interested in interdisciplinary scholarship that explores new definitions of performance and memory, and that employs unique theoretical approaches. The theme for the 2007 conference is Medieval Cities. Papers should incorporate this theme into their topics in some way. The 2007 International Medieval Congress in Leeds, England will take place from July 9-12. You can find more information about the congress at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/ims/imc/index.html One-page abstracts should be submitted to Jill Stevenson at [log in to unmask] by September 15th. Please include your contact information and any AV requests with your abstract. Feel free to email Jill if you have any questions. Please feel free to forward this call to other lists.
