MidWestern American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, November 2001
Location: Iowa, United States
Call for Papers Deadline: 2001-04-15

CALL FOR PAPERS, PANELS, AND ROUNDTABLES:

"BEAUTY"

We invite proposals for papers, panels, and roundtables for the
thirty-second annual meeting of the Midwestern American Society for
Eighteenth-Century Studies (MWASECS), to be held November 9-11, 2001, at
the University of Iowa Memorial Union (IMU) in Iowa City, Iowa. Plenary
speakers at the meeting will be Bernadette Fort (French, Northwestern
University); Jay Fliegelman (English, Stanford University); and Mary Hunter
(Music, Bowdoin College).

We welcome submissions from all disciplines on any aspect of the long
eighteenth century, though we are especially interested in topics relating
to our theme of "Beauty." This theme is meant to encompass all manner of
aesthetic production and reflection, in relation to both generals and
particulars, and to encourage the framing of eighteenth-century creations
and preoccupations in light of recent critical concerns with the category
of the aesthetic and/or the renewed interest in beauty that has emerged at
the turn of the millennium.

Prospective organizers of panels and roundtables are welcome to send calls
to the Secretary <connery@oakland.edu> for posting on the Society's
website(http://www.otus.oakland.edu/english/mwasecs/index.htm).

Please send proposals to arrive no later than April 15, 2001. All proposals
should include an abstract (one page maximum), a mailing address, email
address, and phone number. Proposals for panels and roundtables should
include in addition the names of all participants. Membership in the
Midwestern ASECS is not required in order to submit a proposal.

Please send proposals to:
