Panel: Interiority as a Mode of Escape

I am organizing a panel for the 40th Annual Nineteenth-Century French
Studies Colloquium, “Flight, Escape, Fleeing, Escapism,
Freedom”/”Fuite, Évasion” (October 16-18, 2014 in San Juan, PR).

The panel theme/title focuses on INTERIORITY AS A MODE OF ESCAPE from
the modernization of Paris, spanning the shift of power from
Versailles to the capital to the Haussmannization of the urban
landscape. Two papers have already been identified. My paper focuses
on psychological interiority as represented in portraitures of averted
gazes and mirror reflections. Jennifer Pride’s paper will focus on
post-Haussmannization retreat from the cacophonous boulevards to the
quietude of newly defined apartment interiors. Literary,
word-and-image, art history and other interdisciplinary topics are
welcomed. Please e-mail proposals to me directly lweingardenfsu.edu,
by March 11, 2014.
