[UPDATE] Encountering Early Modern/Medieval Texts panel at (dis)junctions Grad Conference, Apr 5-6. DEADLINE EXTENDED to Feb 22

full name / name of organization: 
Josh Pearson, University of California Riverside
contact email: 
disjunctions2013@gmail.com

This year’s (dis)junctions conference theme focuses on “encounters,” with an emphasis of the term’s foregrounding of the unexpected. However, under these conditions, true “encounters” with texts of the early modern and medieval periods, texts which have been repeatedly studied for hundreds of years, may seem unlikely. Can we truly “encounter” Shakespeare’s texts (or Chaucer’s, or Milton’s), or is that encounter always mediated by an already-constructed knowledge formation? This panel invites the submission of papers which address this improbable phenomenon of encountering the early modern and/or medieval text.
