AAASS panel 2010: New approaches to the sublime

[Alison Annunziata]

Dear Colleagues,


I am organizing a panel entitled "New Approaches to the Sublime" for the
2010 AAASS conference. This panel takes the sublime as the focal point for
examining the intersections of the 18th and 19th, 18th and 20th centuries. 
Specifically, it will look at how the abstract concept of the sublime, as it
was understood in the 18th century, is manipulated, distorted, or inverted
in the literature of the later centuries.  Special interest in the role of
artifice and modernization--for instance, optical media, photography and
film, industry, new flight technology--in the remaking of the sublime.


If you are interested in participating please contact me at aba2111 at columbia.edu


All the best for the New Year!
