Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies 2024
Call for Papers
Trans(–)Turns in Nineteenth-Century Studies March 21-24, 2024
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Cincinnati, OH
Trans-
“across, through, over, to or on the other side of,
beyond, outside of, from one place, person,
thing, or state to another”; “beyond, surpassing,
transcending” (OED).
Whether in bridging divides or leaping over
them, contesting a binary or dismantling it,
“trans(-)” linguistically registers changes of state
as well as movements in time and space; it
indexes communication or traffic that puts
places, persons, and things in new relations to
one another and, perhaps, to themselves.
Building on INCS’ rich history, this iteration of
the conference will seek to explore the “trans(-)”
alongside and in productive tension with the
“inter-.” Proposals on a wide array of topics from
all areas of nineteenth-century studies will be
welcome.
