American Association of Italian Studies

Colorado Springs 3-6 May 2007

We seek proposals for our panel on “Venice in the Literary Imagination” for
the upcoming American Association for Italian Studies conference,taking place
in Colorado Springs from 3-6 May 2007.

“Venice has loomed large in the imagination of writers from the medieval
period to postmodernity. Papers which examine the city’s literary significance
might explore such areas as aesthetics, gender, identity, leisure, politics,
or travel, or representations of the libertine, libro d’oro, Carnevale,
political prisoners, the Rialto, or the terra firma. We welcome research on
authors of all periods and genres.”

Proposals for twenty-minute papers due by 1 December 2006; please include
brief bio and audiovisual/technology needs. […]
