CALL FOR PAPERS
Word and Image: Pacific Northwest Renaissance Conference
April 24-25, 1998
Western Washington University
Bellingham, Washington
The theme "Word and Image" is intended to be interpreted very broadly to
include considerations of iconography, film, religious images, illustration,
maps, set design, costume, painting and other fine arts, descriptions of
images, the presentation of manuscripts, documents, books, hypertext, etc.
We also welcome papers addressed to the wedding of words and images in the
teaching of Renaissance texts. The PNRC is an interdisciplinary conference.
Plenary Speakers:
Huston Diehl, University of Iowa,
"Reforming Spectacle: Visual Regimes and Disciplinary Strategies in Early
Modern England"
and
Susan Karant-Nunn, Portland State University,
"Not Like the Unreasoning Beasts: The Rhetorical Separation of Humans and
Animals in Sixteenth-Century Germany"
Selected papers will be considered for publication in *Studies in
Iconography*, a refereed journal supported in part by the English Department
at Western.
Located on the coast about 90 miles north of Seattle and 50 miles south of
Vancouver, B.C., Bellingham is surrounded by evergreen forests, saltwater
coves, mountain-fed lakes, and snowcapped peaks. A city of 60,000
residents, Bellingham preserves a mix of urban and rural activity. Western
Washington University is situated on hills above the city, overlooking
Bellingham Bay with views of the San Juan Islands and the Cascade mountain
range. Bellingham International Airport offers ten arrivals and ten
departures daily, or one may fly into Seattle s SeaTac Airport and take a
convenient shuttle to Bellingham.
