[Comedias] FW: Session on Representations of Women as Daughters, Sisters, Wives, Mothers, or Grandmothers in Early Modern European Literature

[comedias at comedias.org]

Session Proposal for the Fall Women's Studies Conference at Brigham Young University November 6-8, 2014:
Daughters, Sisters, Wives, Mothers, and Grandmothers in Early Modern European Literature
 
How are women represented as family members in early modern European literature? What are their stereotypical or prescribed roles? How do they fulfill or break with those stereotypes or prescriptive roles? Are some women's positions in the family represented more frequently than others? Are some positions within the family regularly ignored in literature? Are some positions within the family clichéd or caricatured in early modern literature? How do the stereotypes, prescriptions, clichés, and caricatures relate to the lives of women in early modern Europe?
 
Please send 300-word abstracts (of 8-10 page, 20-minute papers) and a brief vita to session organizers by May 15, 2014: Valerie Hegstrom (hegstrom at byu.edu), Brandie Siegfried (brandie_siegfried at byu.edu), or Jennifer Haraguchi (jharaguchi at gmail.com).
