CFP: Special Panel, Medieval/Renaissance Area


“Charm”


This year MAPACA will host its conference in Baltimore, which is known as "Charm City." In honor of this city's designation, the Medieval/Renaissance area is issuing a call for papers for a special panel revolving around the theme of "charm." From charmed objects and cities to charmed (and charming) people, charms pervade the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This panel will investigate how modern works continue to deploy "charm" and the ways in which their use of this concept connects to the medieval and/or Renaissance eras. Please submit proposals for this special panel to www.mapaca.net, indicating in the body of your abstract that you would like for your presentation to be considered part of the special panel.
