>"Renaissance Medievalisms"
>
>An interdisciplinary conference to be held at
>The Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies
>Victoria College, University of Toronto
>6-7 October 2006
>
>This interdisciplinary conference will examine the presence of the
>medieval past in the culture of Renaissance Europe. While the rejection
>of the medieval heritage and the renewal of classical ideals have
>traditionally been used to define the Renaissance, the undeniable
>continuum of medieval culture into the early modern period is
>undisputable, especially in light of recent scholarship on "early
>modern" Europe. Clearly, then, the transference and adaptation into the
>Renaissance of patently "medieval" elements of European civilization
>from Boethius to Boccaccio needs further investigation in order not only
>to validate their continued presence, but also to determine exactly how
>and what they contributed to the "renewal" we call the "Renaissance."
>
>Proposals are invited on all areas of scholarly investigation into Early
>Modern Europe and the European expansion overseas (1400-1650), and
>especially (but not exclusively) in the following general areas:
>
>Art and Literature
>Commerce and Economics
>Learning, Scholarship, and Humanism
>Science and Medicine
>Politics and Judicial Practices
>Religion
>Sex and Gender
>Theatre and Spectacle
>Travel and Exploration
>
>Proposals should include the title of the presentation, a 150 words
>abstract, and a one-page c.v.
>Proposals should be emailed to [log in to unmask]
>
>Deadline for submission: Wednesday, 15 March 2006
