CFP: Early Modern Queer Alliances (5/15/05; RSA, 3/23/06-3/25/06)
Proposed Panel: The Social Work of Same-Sex Alliances
in the Early Modern Period
Alan Bray’s _The Friend_ has sparked a great deal of
discussion about the ways in which same-sex alliances
fit within, and signify to, larger social, political,
or cultural formations. For a proposed panel at RSA
2006, in San Francisco, we invite papers that consider
same-sex associations and representations under the
shelter of, or in tension with, other allegiances: to
marriage, to patron, to genre, to nation, or to
politics, to name only a few possibilities.
