Call for Papers (Extended) The Art of Reading in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

Southern African Society for 
Medieval and Renaissance Studies

22nd International 
Biennial Conference

28-31 August 2014, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Keynote Address: Professor Henry Woudhuysen, 
Lincoln College, University of Oxford

Deadline for proposals: 14 March 2014

The Southern African Society for Medieval and Renaissance Studies 
promotes scholarly discussion in all disciplines concerned with 
Medieval and Renaissance studies. 


We invite proposals for papers on any aspect of Medieval and Renaissance 
studies addressing the conference theme - with the notion of 'reading'
interpreted as broadly as may be desired. We therefore welcome papers on
art and architecture, manuscripts, marginalia, iconicity, drama,
performance,
and any other topic in which the act of reading as interpretation is
involved.
