The relationship between sexes is experienced in different ways in  
different cultures. It is, however, obvious that people re-create  
their self-images and identities according to their gender. This  
session aims at bringing together scholars to discuss the continuities  
and changes in experiencing and constructing gender relationships in  
literary and historical imagination. We warmly welcome participants  
(20 minutes) with a comparative and/or interdisciplinary perspective.


We invite submissions on the following topics:

Images of women from classical to early modern imagination
Gender and gender order in historical literature
Being an Ideal man/woman in literature
Transgender ideals in classical/medieval/early modern literature

Please submit your proposal (max. 200 words) as an email attachment  
with your name, academic affiliation, mailing and email address to  
Liisa.Savunen at Helsinki.fi or
Katariina.Mustakallio at uta.fi


The deadline for abstracts is 15.2.2008.
