This year's conference theme is: Images, Illuminations, Maps, and Marginalia in Medieval Texts. This is a call for papers for our Regular session English I (Medieval) as follows: Medieval texts often include visual matter in addition to the text – from the crude illustrations in the only extant manuscript of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to the elaborate Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. Often illustration was imbedded in the text itself, in the form of the decorated Initials; and sometimes decoration overwhelmed the text itself, as in the 'carpet' pages in the Book of Kells. This panel invites papers exploring the function of images of all kinds in Medieval texts.

[UPDATE] Deadline extension: The Arts of Attention Conference, Budapest, Hungary (Mar. 31, 2013)

Károli Gáspár University

Attention is increasingly regarded by cognitive scientists and evolutionary anthropologists as a faculty whose development in human animals is constitutive of what it means to be human. This conference invites papers on (1) the ways in which literary texts encode this faculty (tropologically, discoursively, narratologically, ideologically), and/or (2) the ways in which theories of reading have recognized or underestimated the arts and techniques of attention. We particularly invite contributions developing or dismissing the suggestion that literature offers privileged insight into the function of attention as a possibility condition for the imagination, for agency, and for community formation.

"Vestigial Human Nature in Modernist Literature" MSA 15 Sussex (Aug. 29-Sep. 1, 2013)

Saturday, February 23, 2013 - 2:24am
Modernist Studies Association (MSA)

This panel for the 2013 Modernist Studies Association Conference seeks to analyze and interpret instances of vestigial essentialism in literary modernism. Literary modernism is often described as a movement that rejected the biological conception of a fixed human nature, consistent across time and place, in favor of a cultural relativism that, similar to behaviorism in psychology or the cultural turn in anthropology, foregrounded the variations and anomalies of human experience, rather than the transcendent similarities. Despite this general rejection, however, lingering notions of human nature persevere in modernism, apparent, for example, in psychoanalysis or primitivism.
