La Donna Rogers, membre de la junta de la NACS, anuncia
l'organització de sessions de temàtica medieval
catalana al 41st International Congress on Medieval Studies
(May 2006):
For the 41st International Congress on Medieval Studies,
Western Michigan University (May 4-6, 2006) the NORTH AMERICAN
CATALAN SOCIETY, which had two sessions in 2005, and which
has sponsored sessions for over a decade now, and MEDIEVAL
AND EARLY MODERN IBERIAN WORLD, a Brill book series since
the 1960s, with two sessions at the Congress in 2005 for
the first time, has proposed four (4) sessions:
Studies in Medieval Iberian Literature and Cultre in Honor
of David J. Viera
Viera, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, received his
B.A. in 1965 from Providence College, and his M.A. in Spanish
in 1969 and his Ph.D. in Iberian Studies in 1972 from Catholic
University of America, in addition to undertaking advanced
studies at the universities of Barcelona, Lisbon, and Coimbra.
He speaks five modern languages and reads a total of nine
modern and classical languages. Viera has published over
90 articles, six books, and 25 book reviews on Spanish,
Portuguese, Catalan, and Italian language and literature,
English as a Second Language, and Portuguese teaching and
immigration to the United States. His publications have
appeared in 15 countries, and he is most widely known for
his studies on religious culture and the 14th-century Franciscan
Francesc Eiximenis. Above all else, David is one of the
kindest, gentlest, most modest, most unfailingly helpful
scholars in the field of Medieval Iberian studies. Just
recently, David has taken ill and may not return to the
classroom at Tennessee Technological University.
Under this dual organization sponsorship, Larry J. Simon,
Western Michigan University, Editor of Brill's Medieval
and Early Modern Iberian World Book Series, will be assisted
in organizing the sessions by John Bollweg, NACS session
organizer of late, and Donna M. Rogers, Dalhousie University,
who is on the Executive Council of the North American Catalan
Society, is an associate editor of NACS's CATALAN REVIEW,
and is on the editorial board of the MEMIW series. MEMIW
plans to publish the proceedings of the sessions as a volume
in honor of Professor Viera.
We don't necessarily want to close off proposals that fall
outside the following rubrics, but our current working subtitles
for the sessions are:
(1) Francesc Eiximenis and Vicent Ferrer;
(2) Medieval Iberian Religious Life;
(3) Religion and Medieval Portuguese Literature;
(4) Catalan Literature of the 14th and 15th Centuries
All those interesting in participating should send a one-page
abstract to any of the organizers: Larry J. Simon, Western
Michigan University (simon@wmich.edu) John Bollweg (trecento@comcast.net),
Donna M. Rogers, Dalhousie University (rogersdm@dal.ca)
Deadline is September 1, 2005.
