Renaissance Society of America Annual Conference, San Juan, Puerto Rico, March 9-11, 2023
Additional Call for Papers for the following sessions:
3. “New Perspectives on Italian Art,” Submission Deadline: Monday, August 1, 2022:
- This session aims to create a space for emerging scholars (recent Ph.D.s or Ph.D. candidates) of Italian art to present their work. Proposals on any area of Italian early modern art (1300-1700) are welcome. We are particularly interested in scholars working in new methodologies, new areas of study, or innovative approaches to more traditional areas of Renaissance studies. The intention is to provide new scholars with a forum to present their ideas and methods and an opportunity to receive constructive feedback from senior scholars who will serve as respondents.
- Please send proposals to the organizers, Ilaria Andreoli (ilaria.andreoli@item-cnrs.fr) and Kelley Di Dio (kelley.didio@uvm.edu) by Monday, August 1, 2022. Paper proposals must include:
- paper title (15-word maximum)
- paper abstract (150-word maximum)
- resume (.pdf or .doc upload)
- PhD or other terminal degree completion year (past or expected)
- full name, current affiliation, and email address
- Please note: Speakers must become RSA members to speak at the conference. Per RSA guidelines, panelists may give papers in only one session at each conference. Proposals must abide by the word limits. Papers are max 20 minutes in length.
4. “Renaissance English Text Society,” Submission Deadline: Monday, August 1, 2022:
- The Renaissance English Text Society plans to sponsor several sessions at the annual meeting of the Renaissance Society of America in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We welcome papers on any topics related to early modern English manuscripts. We would be especially pleased to receive paper proposals on the following:
- Scholarly editing in the digital age, with special attention to editions of early modern texts. While scholars continue to produce traditional print editions, digital formats offer tantalizing new possibilities. Papers might discuss topics such as the benefits and drawbacks of print, digital, and hybrid editions, and/or the opportunities – and risks – posed by digital resources when producing editions.
- Issues of attribution in early modern manuscripts: how trustworthy are ascriptions or other means often used for determining authorship? How might contested attributions be handled? How central is attribution to the editing of early modern texts? Examples welcome!
- The female voice in early modern manuscripts: what kinds of cultural work might the female voice (whether actual or ventriloquized) accomplish, especially in miscellanies including work primarily attributed to males?
- Proposals should be sent by 1 August 2021 to Mary Ellen Lamb (maryelamb@aol.com). Proposals should include an abstract (no longer than 150 words), a brief academic C.V. in prose form (not longer than 300 words), and a series of key-words that suit the presentation. Please indicate too whether you will require A.V. equipment for the presentation.
