CFP: [18th] Financial Crises in Art and Literature (9/15/07; ASECS, 3/27-30/08)
"Bubbles, Crashes, and Other Financial Crises in Art and Literature"
A session of the 2008 Meeting of the American Society for
Eighteenth-Century Studies (Portland, OR, March 27-30, 2008).
I invite paper proposals dealing with the visual and/or verbal treatments
of the financial crises and innovations that shaped economic and cultural
history in the long eighteenth century. Papers that focus on under-studied
geographical areas, as well as papers written from an interdisciplinary
and/or comparative perspective are particularly welcome.
