-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP Reminder and Deadline Extension: Cognitive Theory and Medieval Performance Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:06:04 -0400 From: jill stevenson <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: PERFORM - Medieval Performing Arts <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] *REMINDER AND DEADLINE EXTENSION* *Cognitive Theory and Medieval Performance* *International Medieval Congress in **Kalamazoo**, **Michigan*** *May 7-10, 2009*** * * Many theatre scholars are employing cognitive theory to explore drama and performance. This research has supported long-held claims about theatre, as well as complicated and challenged our assumptions about theatrical events and their cultural work. The large number of recently published essay collections, articles, and special journal issues devoted to this interdisciplinary approach reflects its relevance and significance. This panel seeks papers that use evidence and theory from cognitive science to analyze medieval drama and performance. Although papers that analyze dramatic texts are welcome, this session specifically invites work that employs cognitive theory to explore aspects of performance events. The session organizer hopes to include work from a range of medieval periods and geographic regions. *Please submit your one-page abstract and participant information form to Jill Stevenson at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> no later than **September 18, 2008**.* The participant cover sheet and general information about the Congress are available at: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions.html#PIF -- Abigail Ann Young (Dr), Associate Editor/ Records of Early English Drama/ Victoria College/ 150 Charles Street W/ Toronto Ontario Canada Phone (416) 585-4504/ FAX (416) 813-4093/ [log in to unmask] List-owner of REED-L <http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/reed-l.html> http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/ => REED's home page http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/stage.html => our Web guide http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~young => my home page
