This seminar invites papers that
present new interdisciplinary perspectives to explore “traveling” sexualities
in the early modern world. Considering sexuality  through various sites of
“global” interactions, dialogues, circulating discourses and practices, and
translations, which put pressure on traditional gender and sexual binaries and
geographical boundaries, this seminar calls for papers analyzing
non-heteronormative sexual interactions and/or reconfigurations of gender roles
in early modern societies. Although we strongly encourage papers that address
eastern and western encounters and interactions, we welcome papers analyzing
other territorial interactions as well.
Some possible topics include, but
are not limited to:
	* the East, the West, and sex
	* Islamicate sexualities
	* sexualities and religions
	* ancient and early modern sexualities
	* the Ottoman and Europeans sexual practices and representations
	* same-sex love and desire
	* ‘the beloved boys’
	* normative sexualities and sexual politics
	* effeminacy and androgyny
	* the nature of desire and sexuality
	* ethnography and the representation of “other” sexualities
	* sexual diseases and catastrophes
Submissions may address these or
related topics from a variety of perspectives from any literary or cultural
traditions falling between the 15th and mid- 17th centuries. Paper proposals should be submitted no
later than November 1st, 2011. For submission guidelines, please
