Premodern Desires: The Erotic from the Symposium to the Inferno - NEMLA 2022

Ever since the publication of Foucault’s multi-volume work The History of Sexuality, scholarship, whether theoretically, historically, or literarily minded, has reckoned with the call to develop less anachronistic methodologies to analyze premodern expressions of desire. While scholars such as David Halperin and Susan Lanser have risen to the challenge of Foucault’s text and expanded his analysis to address feminine and queer desires, both generally and within their specific periods of study, these theoretical and methodological strides in the history of sexuality have penetrated fields at various rates. This seminar seeks to help remedy this disciplinary issue, particularly within the literature of medieval studies and classics.

St. Thomas University
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, April 1, 2024

I am in the process of reviewing essays for an edited volume, Mythological Equines in Literature, but a few contributors were unable to continue with the collection. Thus, I am looking for 2-3 more essays to round out the collection. Harry Potter, Legend, and Narnia are well covered. Please send an inquiry about the potential topic to ensure that it has not already been covered.

Essays should be roughly 5,000-7,000 words, Chicago-style with endnotes and a bibliography page.

Complete chapters will be due in August 2024.

Please send ideas, abstracts, and short biographical notes to Rachel L. Carazo at rachel.carazo@snhu.edu
