34th Annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum
“Travel, Contact, Exchange”
Plymouth State University,
April 19-20, 2013.
* Call for Papers *
We invite abstracts in
medieval and Early Modern studies that consider how travel, contact, and
exchange functioned in personal, political, religious, and aesthetic realms.
● How, when, where, and why did cultural exchange happen?
● What are the roles of storytelling or souvenirs in experiences of pilgrimage or Crusade?
● What is exchanged, lost, or left behind in moments of contact?
● How do such moments of contact and exchange hold meaning today?
Papers need not be confined to the theme but may cover many aspects of medieval
and Renaissance life, literature, languages, art, philosophy, theology, history
and music.
This year’s keynote speaker
is David L. Simon. He is Jetté Professor of Art at Colby College, where he has
received the Basset Award for excellence in teaching. He holds graduate degrees
from Boston University and the Courtauld Institute of Art of the University of
London. Among his publications are the catalogue of Spanish and southern French
