Women in the Global Eighteenth CenturySeton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey,Le colloque aura lieu au Grand Summit Hotel, à Summit, NJ les 5 et 6 novembre 2015.Date limite de soumission des propositions :  15 mai 2015.La conférence inaugurale sera dispensée par Dr. Lynn Festa, Associate Professor of English, Rutgers University.In The Global Eighteenth Century , Felicity Nussbaum and her contributors urged scholars to see the eighteenth century as ‘wide': a period with a geographical as well as temporal sweep.Such a perspective, Nussbaum contended, would require different, more complex narratives of the people, events, systems, and discourses of the age. In the spirit of our namesake Aphra Behn, whose poetry, drama, plays, and translations reflect a complex awareness of a widening world, The Aphra Behn Society for Women in the Arts, 1660–1830 takes up the challenge posed by The Global Eighteenth Century to invite papers exploring any aspect of women and the arts in this ‘global eighteenth century’. How does a wider, potentially global, lens change the view of people, places, and things both familiar and strange, domestic and imperial, Us and Other? How does gender affect those views?The Aphra Behn Society for Women and the Arts invites papers addressing the intersection of gender and the global eighteenth century from a wide variety of disciplines, including but not limited to Literature, History, Art History, Music History, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Women and Gender Studies. We welcome papers on this topic from all sub-fields of these disciplines.Lien
