Call for Papers
In Dickens’s bicentenary year we wish to invite proposals for papers on
crucial thresholds, moments of transition, and life cycles as these are
represented, questioned or complicated in Dickens’s writings. We invite
contributions that explore these topics, including but not limited to papers
which focus on the following:
- Births (birth rituals; births of boys vs. birth of girls; legitimacy and
illegitimacy; birth and class identity vs. innate identity);
- Marriages (marriage and money; marriage and love; sadistic and
masochistic marriages; marriage and theatrical performance);
- Deaths (death by murder; death by drowning or 'accident'); funerals and
theatrical performance; death and gender and social class).
Please send abstracts of 250 words to both Valerie Kennedy
(kennedy@bilkent.edu.tr) and
Katerina Kitsi (katkit@enl.auth.gr)
by May 15th, 2012.
