Call for papers: The Annual UK Gender and Medieval Studies Conference
Gender and Difference in the Middle Ages
Edinburgh, 11-13 January 2008
The concept of difference enables us to explore medieval gender in a
number of ways. It allows us to think about the construction of
gender, through its relationship to various other categories of
difference such as social status, sexualities, and ethnicity, and
age. It also allows us to think about how gender is used to
construct, articulate, and represent various forms of difference.
Explorations of the gendering of objects and the monstrous, for
example, can illuminate, blur, or challenge binary distinctions.
This conference seeks to provide a forum in which such approaches
can be discussed and developed. Papers are encouraged from a wide
range of disciplines, such as art history, literature, archaeology,
and history. In particular, the conference hopes to encourage
interdisciplinary discussion about the theoretical and practical
implications that ideas of difference have on gender studies. Themes
to consider could include:
? Religion, Ethnicity and Race
? Regional Difference and National Identity
? The Monstrous, Outsiders and the Other
? Marital Status, Age and Social Status as Categories of Difference
? Sexualities
? The Blurring of Difference
Further enquiries and abstracts of approximately 250 words for 20
minute papers should be sent to: [email protected]
Deadline for proposals: 3 September 2007
