Very excited about Desiring the Text, Touching the Past: Towards an Erotics of Reception, the conference I'm co-organizing and will be soon attending. Carolyn Dinshaw is the keynote speaker, and we've got papers on love of Plato in 19th century German historiography, portrayal of/engagement with fans in Supernatural, Dr. Who and Merlin, Petrarch's fannishness (that one's mine), Dante's fannishness, Dante and temporality, race and fan empathy, St. Augustine's reading of the gospels, and more.
I've been reading the precirculated papers, and I'm so excited about the discussion they're going to generate. I'm also hoping that I'll resurrect this blog after it! I've just finished the last precirculated paper, and the standard is really high - they're awesome.
The conference is on July 10th; register beforehand for the pre-circulated papers!
