The 2008 International Conference on Romanticism will be held on October 16-19 at Oakland
University in Rochester, Michigan.
We invite participants to consider the Work of Romanticism, interpreted as broadly as possible.
Thus, topics may include, but are not limited to, working (agricultural, industrial, political, social,
etc.); the text as work (e.g., editions, textual variants, the text per se, etc.); (re-)productive labor;
the work of Romanticists; responses to works (e.g., reception, intertextuality, etc.); literary, artistic
or intellectual labor; and leisure (including idleness, indolence, vacation, travel, retirement, etc.) We
welcome proposals for special sessions.
Despite the breadth of Irish artistic achievement across various media in
the decades surrounding the 1798 Rebellion and 1801 Act of Union, there is
still a comparative lack of sustained analysis of this foundational period
in Irish cultural history. While much critical work has been focused on
individual authors, there has, with notable exceptions, been little
cross-disciplinary work devoted to Irish writing and culture in the
‘Romantic’ period. In particular, Irish links with European literatures and
Irish language productions have been relatively neglected. This collection
seeks to redress this neglect and to complicate and extend our

San Francisco Marriot,
San Francisco, California
March 19-22, 2008
Proposals are now being accepted for “Shakespeare, The Elizabethans and
the Early Modern World.†Any and all aspects of culture from this time
period are encouraged. The emphasis is on the “Early Modern World.â€
We are interested not only in the literature and drama but other art
forms, technology and material culture from this era. We are also eager
to open the conversation up to interests outside England. We encourage
those with an interest in areas such as Spanish Theatre and literature
before 1700 to make proposals.
Death is an arrival and a departure for the deceased, as well as for those left behind â€" who leave
one kind of life and arrive, like the dead, in uncharted territory. Culturally, we are awash in stories
of the dead, which signifies the desire to come to terms with death and loss as well as the refusal to
do so. We propose a seminar to investigate the various manifestations of death in narrative, from
corpses to caesuras, the death of the author to Diana Fuss’s conception of “last words,†and
surrealism’s exquisite corpses.
We are looking for submissions which address death and the bodily changes that accompany it from
