The Literary History of Sexuality (panel)

This panel addresses the relationship between sexuality and literature in the long eighteenth
century. Critics and
historians, from a variety of perspectives, have suggested that "something happened" to
conceptualizations (and
practices) of the sexual and the literary in and around the eighteenth century--although what
that "something"
was remains an open question. Accordingly, this panel will explore the mutually shaping
relations between
sexuality and literature, from Restoration to Romanticism. Engagements with Foucault
(critical and/or
sympathetic) are welcome but not essential.

The Northeast Modern Language Association's 38th annual convention will be
held in Baltimore, Maryland from March 1-4, 2007.

This panel will explore innovative ways to teach critical theory at the
undergraduate level. How can instructors present difficult theory in a way
that is accessible to students? What supplementary texts can instructors use
to complement the theory? What writing assignments can help students
practice applying theory without encouraging them to think formulaically?
