Teenagers in the Renaissance
"Teenagers in the Renaissance" is
my current working title for an international
multidisciplinary conference I am organizing in Toronto, at
the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, for the
fall of 1999 (early November). The conference seeks to
examine the place and role of youths aged 10-20
(approximately) in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Some of the topics that might be discussed may include
questions of: political influence/power (teenage rulers,
ecclesiasts, etc.), religious life, youthful prodigies,
military role, youths in literature, teenage writers or
artists or musicians, puberty, sexuality, marriage, youth
associations, etc.
Anyone wishing to present a proposal for a paper is asked to
send me a one-page (or less) abstract and a short curriculum
vitae (with university affiliation, address, telephone, fax,
and email).
Please distribute to other lists and/or interested friends.
