Our intention is to cross conventional >boundaries of chronology and discipline, and in so doing we hope to further >scholarship on the fragment in a productive way. > >This conference seeks to examine the links and disparities between concepts >of the fragment in different disciplines, and in relation to various >historical periods. A key objective is to foster interdisciplinary >discussion and the potential for dynamic collaborative research. By opening >exchange between research- and practice-based disciplines, and between >materialist and conceptual approaches, the conference aims to respond to a >widespread but heterogeneous interest in the fragment, and to redefine its >uses and significance in contemporary scholarly and creative work. >We anticipate that dialogue around ėthe fragmentķ will include (but not be >limited to) subjects emphasising: histories of art, medicine and the body, >memory and remembrance, museology, archaeologies of knowledge, modernist and >postmodern theory, as well as work in more canonical literary studies. In >addition to academic papers, we welcome proposals for discussion panels, >performances/installations, or creative workshops. > >dr elisabeth salter >Lecturer in Medieval & Renaissance Literatures, >Department of English and Institute for Medieval & Early Modern Studies >[IMEMS] >University of Wales, Aberystwyth >Dyfed >SY23 3DY >Ż ******************* The German Studies Call for Papers List Editor: Stefani Engelstein Assistant Editor: Megan McKinstry Sponsored by the University of Missouri Info available at: http://www.missouri.edu/~graswww/resources/gerlistserv.html
