CFP - Infantuation: Childhood, Youth, and Nineteenth-Century Culture

Infantuation: Childhood, Youth, and Nineteenth-Century Culture,

26Th Annual Conference of the Nineteenth-Century Studies Association; Augusta, Georgia and Aiken, South Carolina – March 10-12, 2005

During the nineteenth century, you couldn’t turn a corner – or a page – without some broom-wielding urchin, be-ribboned cherub, or herd of baby buggies getting in your way. How much of this was due to an actual change in population and how much of it was the result of a shift in cultural focus? The NCSA invites proposals for papers addressing ways in which the nineteenth century developed, interpreted, or invented infancy, childhood, adolescence, and youth both as ontological categories and as phases in human and national development. The conference will be held in Augusta, Georgia (at the historic Partridge Inn) and Aiken, South Carolina. Augusta’s airport has frequent connections to Atlanta.

Call for Papers Due -- October 15, 2004
