Call For Papers: Performance and Theatricality in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

The 17th Annual ACMRS Conference – 10–12 February in Tempe, Arizona. ACMRS invites session and paper proposals for its annual interdisciplinary conference to be held February 10–12, 2011 in Tempe, Arizona.

We welcome papers that explore any topic related to the study and teaching of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and especially those that focus on this year’s theme of performance and theatricality, both in literal and metaphorical manifestations. The deadline for proposals is 9:00 p.m. MST on 17 October 2010. Submissions will only be accepted at http://link.library.utoronto.ca/acmrs/conference/ from 1 June through 17 October 2010.

Before the conference, ACMRS will host a workshop on manuscript studies to be led by Timothy Graham, Director of the Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of New Mexico. The workshop will be Thursday afternoon, February 10, and participation will be limited to 25 participants, who will be determined by the order in which registrations are received. Email acmrs[at]asu[dot]edu with “conference workshop” as the subject line to be added to the list. The cost of the workshop is $25 and is in addition to the regular conference registration fee.
