CFP: "The idea of Europe in the 18th century" (6/30/2007;9/20/2007-9/22/2007)

The eighteenth century is often considered as a key period in the emergence of a
broader European consciousness and the synchronous decline of older imagined
communities such as Occident and Christianity. At the end of the eighteenth
century, however, the age of "old Europe" based on dynasties, elite culture and
balance of power politics was profoundly shaken, if not destroyed, by the
French Revolution and the ensuing international instability. A heated
discursive battle over the redefinition of Europe ensued.

Shakespeare's presence in the 18th century—in book form, on the stage, in art—is overwhelming. This session will explore how artists have transformed Shakespeare's plays in painting or any of the visual arts. By April 30, 2007, please send proposals/abstracts to Chantelle MacPhee, Department of English, University of Puerto Rico at Cayey, Cayey, PR 00736. Email submissions are also welcome: englitgirl_at_yahoo.com.
