Please send a single page with a 150-word abstract and brief CV by May 25, 2013 to both Laura Bass (laura_bass[at]brown.edu<mailto:lrbass at tulane.edu>) and David A. Boruchoff (david.boruchoff[at]mcgill.ca<mailto:david.boruchoff%5Bat%5Dmcgill.ca>).

Boruchoff (david.boruchoff[at]mcgill.ca<mailto:david.boruchoff%5Bat%5Dmcgill.ca>).

Boruchoff (david.boruchoff[at]mcgill.ca<mailto:david.boruchoff%5Bat%5Dmcgill.ca>).

Reimagining Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World
In the wake of seismic events such as the encounter with America, religious wars, and acute political crisis, early modern Spain registered a pronounced awareness of historical change. In turn, traditional understandings of time as an ongoing continuum were challenged by an intensified sense of the material and cultural discontinuities that separate the present from the past. How did this new experience of the passage of time manifest itself in literature? What were its effects on mimesis, the tempus fugit topos, clock symbolism, visual imagery, representations of America, the practice of memory? Please send a single page with a 150-word abstract and brief CV by May 25, 2013 to all three of the following: Ariadna García-Bryce (garciab[at]reed.edu), Laura Bass (laura_bass[at]brown.edu<mailto:lrbass at tulane.edu>) and David A. Boruchoff (david.boruchoff[at]mcgill.ca<mailto:david.boruchoff%5Bat%5Dmcgill.ca>).

Poetry and the City
This forum explores poetry as a social practice that transcends the search for aristocratic status. We invite submissions that examine the multiple roles of poetry in city life; urban themes and imagery; or poetry and the bourgeoisie. Please send a single page with a 150-word abstract and brief CV by May 15, 2013 to both Ignacio Navarrete (ignacio[at]berkeley.edu) and Elizabeth Pettinaroli (pettinarolie[at]rhodes.edu).

Cervantes and Poetry
On the fourth centenary of the publication of Cervantes’s Viaje del Parnaso (1614), we invite submissions on poetry written by Cervantes or on the roles that poetry and poetics play in his works. Please send a single page with a 150-word abstract and brief CV by May 15, 2013 to all three of the following: David A. Boruchoff (david.boruchoff[at]mcgill.ca<mailto:david.boruchoff%5Bat%5Dmcgill.ca>), Laura Bass (Laura_Bass[at]brown.edu<mailto:Laura_Bass at brown.edu>), and Ignacio Navarrete (ignacio[at]berkeley.edu).


Please note:
All proposals should bear in mind the interdisciplinary makeup of the Renaissance Society of America and the need to speak to scholars whose primary interests and expertise may lie beyond the Spanish-speaking world. Successful proposals will be published in the conference program.
The RSA permits participants to give only one paper at its annual meeting.
All presenters must be or become members of the RSA and register for the meeting.
Submission of a proposal implies that one will subsequently participate in the meeting if selected. The RSA is considering sanctions against those who withdraw after being selected or fail to attend the meeting. For more information on the annual meeting, see the RSA website: www.rsa.org<http://www.rsa.org>.
