Culture, Aesthetics, and the State

We invite proposals for papers that explore the relation between
aesthetics and the emergence of the modern state. We are open to
papers from a wide range of national cultures and historical
periods. Possible themes might include political fantasy, political
rhetorics and/or discourses, state fictions, citizenship and
literacy, and representations of sovereignty.

Please submit half-page abstracts (500 words maximum) and a short
c.v. electronically by March 7, 2007 to:
