>The Eighth Annual North Carolina Colloquium in Medieval and Early Modern
>Studies will be held at Duke University on February 16-17, 2007. This
>year's graduate student colloquium encourages interdisciplinary
>discussion of our topic, "Dissent and Dissonance," among scholars of the
>Middle Ages and early modernity. We will convene to explore the contours
>of resistance to religious, political, cultural, aesthetic, and
>institutional traditions and discourses in premodern or early modern
>contexts, negotiating the very terms of order and dissent. We solicit
>papers that interpret resistance not by reducing analysis to
>all-encompassing categories of "orthodox" and "heterodox," but by
>considering the varieties and gradations of dissent and discord
>available to medieval and early modern traditions and institutions.
>
>Paper topics might address, but are not limited to, the following:
>
>-What constitutes an establishment or an institution? Are these active,
>static or otherwise?
>
>-What constitutes orthodoxy? What is its relationship to dissent? How do
>these terms influence one another in medieval and early modern contexts?
>
>-Does order/orthodoxy ever (or always) bear the traces of dissent?
>
>-How do the very terms "dissent" and "orthodoxy" naturalize particular
>cultural, political or periodic understandings of regimes of order and
>disorder?
>
>-How might we think about the performance of dissent in architecture,
>images, mode of dress, actions, language, or social/political practice?
>
>-How does dissonance relate to the impetus to revision (aesthetic and
>musical revisions of harmonics/harmony; social and/or political revision
>proceeding from discord)?
>
>
>Please submit paper proposals (250 words max) with full name and
>institution to [log in to unmask] by December 1, 2006.
