Workshop in Multidisciplinary Approaches to Medieval and Early Modern
Studies will be hosting its first annual symposium on Saturday, May 23rd,
2009 at Stanford University. The topic this year will be Imagination and
Memory. Serving as complementary faculties in both Eastern and
Western medieval epistemology, imagination and memory function as the
means for the soul’s access to understanding of the world both physical
and metaphysical. The early modern period shifts this paradigm,
separating imagination from memory as its fanciful counterpart, leaving
memory to reconstruct a “lost” past and imagination to envision an
uncertain future. How and why did this shift occur? What is lost/gained
in this separation? What purposes did imagination and memory serve in the
medieval period? In the early modern period? How is
imagination and/or memory used in the service of various disciplines,
from art to poetry, history to science?<br>

<font face="Verdana" size=2>As a community of scholars interested in
bridging geographical, temporal and disciplinary boundaries, we encourage
paper proposals from all disciplines, as well as collaborative
cross-disciplinary projects. We also highly encourage proposals on
subjects outside of the Western canon. Presentations should be in
English and no more than 20 minutes in length. An abstract of 300
words or less may be emailed to Elizabeth Coggeshall
(<a href="mailto:eacogg@stanford.edu">eacogg@stanford.edu</a>) on or
before December 31st, 2008. We will contact senders regarding
submissions by January 31st, 2009. Please note that we may not be
able to accept all proposals.<br>
