>Subject: CFP: Medieval Misericords: An Interdisciplinary Inquiry 
>(9/15/05; Kalamazoo, 5/4/06-5/7/06)
>
>Misericords, the carvings on choir stalls in medieval and renaissance
>cathedrals, range in subject from spiritual to epic to fabliaux.  This
>session will explore recent scholarship on medieval misericords, addressing
>not only the literary sources for their imagery but the iconographic
>complexities of individual scenes and complete programs.  The organizers
>seek scholars working on literary, liturgical, and art historical approaches
>to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue about these objects. Subjects might
>include the analysis of particular types of scenes and their sources, the
>evolution of particular kinds of subjects, or the relation of misericords to
>contemporary cycles of images.  Papers examining the historiography of the
>subject are also welcome.  This is intended as a critically discursive and
>wide-ranging session.  Please submit abstracts by September 15, 2005 to
