-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: Renaissance Medievalisms in Performance--deadline extended to September 18th Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:08:05 -0400 From: jill stevenson <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: PERFORM - Medieval Performing Arts <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] *Renaissance Medievalisms in Performance* *International Medieval Congress in **Kalamazoo**, **Michigan*** *May 7-10, 2009* As Chris Brooks suggests, the Renaissance inherited the Middle Ages both as a material presence and as a complex of ideas and feelings—both real and imaginary. This panel seeks papers that examine how Renaissance communities constructed, evaluated, mythologized, or re-imagined the Middle Ages through performance. Although dramatic texts offer us evidence of such cultural work, this panel encourages submissions that identify and analyze "medievalisms" in staging practices, patronage, acting styles, design choices, or other theatrical elements. The session organizer hopes to include work from a range of medieval periods and geographic regions. The Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society is sponsoring a panel on this topic at the MLA Convention this coming December. Due to the enthusiastic response to that panel's call for papers, the MRDS is sponsoring this second panel on the same theme. *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
