    >GEMCS is an organization formed for the study of
    >culture from the Renaissance to the mid-nineteenth
    >century. We are composed of people working in a wide
    >range of disciplines, including but not limited to
    >literature, history, art history, music, and film, and we
    >welcome a wide variety of disciplinary approaches.
    >
    >This year's theme is "It's About Time," and we seek
    >proposals dealing with social, economic, aesthetic, sexual,
    >artistic, political, racial, and philosophical manifestations
    >of time. We are particularly interested in work that
    >shows not only the existence of such manifestations, but
    >how they expressed themselves culturally, and what sorts
    >of provisional answers emerged historically.
    >
    >As always, however, GEMCS is interested in all aspects
    >of early modern culture.
    >
    >Some suggestions for topics:
