To Colleagues working in 18th-century studies:

        I draw your attention to a conference in September 1997 which
should prove most interesting to those of us working in/on the body in the
18th century. The advertisement is as follows:

"Call For Papers, Panels, Performances:
        BODY PROJECTS:
        INCARNATIONS, INSCRIPTIONS, ADHESIONS, INVASIONS

University of Saskatchewan
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

September 18 to 20, 1997

Keynote speakers include ROY PORTER of the Wellcome Institute and GEORGE
ROUSSEAU of the Thomas Reid Institute, and leading feminist authorities on
Body Theory and Performativity. There will be a wide range of fora and
modes of representation, and proposals are welcome that improve, critique,
and augment customary forms of (virtually disembodied) academic exchange.

This is the first of an annual series of events designed to promote
traditional, interdisciplinary, and anti-disciplinary work in the
variously inflected (and infected) sites of human embodiment.

There is no restriction on the kind of work that will be considered for
inclusion on the Body Projects program or in the array of cultural
activities which will supplement the more conventionally academic
sessions.

Two-page abstracts or proposals should be submitted to the Body Projects
organizing committee by February 15, 1997.

To submit abstracts or proposals or for further information, write:
