Call for Papers 2007: Dissent and Dissonance

This graduate student colloquium will convene to explore the contours of resistance to religious, political, cultural, aesthetic, and institutional traditions and discourses in premodern or early modern contexts. We solicit papers that interpret resistance not by reducing analysis to all-encompassing categories of “orthodox” and “heterodox,” but by considering the varieties and gradations of dissent and discord available to medieval and early modern traditions and institutions.

Paper proposals of no more than 250 words should be submitted to medren@duke.edu by December 31, 2006.
