The topic for the Early Drama, Art, and Music sessions at the 1997 International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo will be Guilds, Technology, and Early Drama -- that is, essentially what is called "material culture" in the current jargon. Specifically we are looking for papers that deal with such matters as technological expertise as related to play production, but other aspects of patronage, production, and trade may well be appropriate. Proposals are invited, and should be sent to the following address: Clifford Davidson Early Drama, Art, and Music The Medieval Institute Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49008 FAX: 616-387-8750 email: [log in to unmask] Phone inquiries are also welcome; the number is 616-387-8753, and be aware that the answering machine cuts in after three rings. I will answer queries left on the answering machine quickly, however, if a number is left for me to return the call. Thanks very much, Cliff Davidson
