NASSR 2018: Open
June 22 - 25, 2018 / Brown University
Annual Meeting of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism
Annual Meeting of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism
NASSR 2018 will meet on the Brown University campus in Providence, Rhode Island, June 22-25.
The conference organizers have decided to not have a topic for 2018, thus keeping NASSR decisively "Open." This
indicates our receptivity to a broad range of proposals for papers and sessions, but also our more specific
interest to not prescribe any theme or concept in advance, thus extending the question of romanticism’s
“open-ness." We welcome interdisciplinary and comparatist approaches, as well as scholarship in
non-English literatures and cultures. This might include work on: circulation, translation,
and reception across boundaries; forms of cultural exchange and their policing;
challenges to aesthetic, political, historical, discursive borders; critical
engagements with race, gender, sexuality, and class; reopened
questions of bodies and technics, reproducibility and
iterability; various figurations of infinite,
open-ended potentiality...
