"Age and the Stage: Women and Aging in Long Eighteenth-Century Drama"

updated: 
Wednesday, September 10, 2014 - 8:12pm
American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Annual Conference. Los Angeles, CA March 19-21, 2015

"Age and the Stage" is inspired by this year's ASECS location in Los Angeles, a city deeply connected to an entertainment industry that foregrounds the complicated intersection of the feminine, aging, and cultural representations of both. It will seek papers that investigate the place of older and aging women in the long eighteenth-century's very own "entertainment industry:" the English theater. When the theaters of London opened their doors to women, young actresses were given the opportunity to enter the public spotlight, and, as demonstrated in recent works by Laura Engle, Felicity Nussbaum, and Joseph Roach, star actresses became the driving force behind the success of Restoration and eighteenth-century theater.

The Poetics/Politics of Post-Postmodernism

updated: 
Wednesday, September 10, 2014 - 3:14pm
Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English (ACCUTE)

In the epilogue to the second edition of The Politics of Postmodernism, Linda Hutcheon heralds the closure of the very period she helped to define: "Let's just say it," she admits, "it's over" (2002: 165-166). This view has in recent years been echoed by an increasing number of cultural critics, who cite the failure of the postmodern aesthetic—developed in the 1970s and characterized by fragmentation, self-reflexivity, and irony—to embody the very real ethical and political concerns of twenty-first century citizens (cf. Eshelman, 2008; Kirby, 2009; Toth, 2010; Vermeulen and van den Akker, 2010; Abrahamson, 2013).
