>The Stanford Humanities Center Geballe 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?
>
>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 
>(<mailto:eacogg at stanford.edu>eacogg at stanford.edu) 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.
