CALL FOR PAPERS (SEMA)
The Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Medieval Association at the
University of Southern Mississippi to be held October 18-20, 2012 on the
Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Session title: Re-Membering the Monstrous
Sponsor: MEARCSTAPA
Organizer: Larissa Tracy, Longwood University
Disarticulated bodies and separated members populate the Middle Ages in a
variety of forms. From the cherished body parts of saints, to the reviled
limbs of criminals and monstrous creatures, dismembered and reassembled
bodies have a profound cultural significance throughout medieval Europe.
We welcome abstracts of 250 words on any form of dismemberment, physical
dislocation or separated members in medieval literature, art, language,
law, history, or archaeology.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: June 1, 2012
Please email abstracts of no more than 250 words, with a brief
biographical note to Larissa Tracy: [email protected].
