| Title | German Literature to 1700 at the MLA 2004 |
| Body | From: THe German Information Center The MLA Committee on German Literature to 1700 is organizing three sessions for the 2004 convention in Philadelphia (December 27-30, 2004). Text as Spectacle, Spectacle as Text The study of visuality has recently emerged as one of the most vigorous sites of debate and (inter)disciplinary engagement in the humanities. In this vein, our session seeks to explore intersections of image and text, the visual and the textual, as well as the broader themes of visuality and textuality. Topics may include visual metaphors, text/image-relations, the art of emphasis, the graphic organization of manuscripts and prints, spectacles in cities, courts, etc. and their documentation, to name a few examples. Conflict and Peacemaking in Premodern German Literature Strife and warfare count among the most prominent themes in premodern literature. This session will discuss literary representations and rituals of conflict as well as how forms of toleration and peacemaking result from hostilities. Open Session For this session, we are inviting submissions on all aspects of pre-1750 German literature. Topics may include: presentations on individual texts or groups of texts from the medieval and early modern periods; discussions of recent trends in the field; talks on the pedagogy and teaching of premodern texts; or reflections on the state of the field. Submit the title and a short description of up to one page via email. The deadline for abstracts is March 1, 2004. The committee will evaluate the proposals and inform you in April whether your paper has been accepted. Please direct all questions and other correspondence to Helmut Puff (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) at puffh@umich.edu. |
