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.
