We are looking for papers dealing with any aspect of "specular reflections" through text, image, music or any branch of learning, especially those that engage with the paradoxical ways mirror images are used in all periods, places, and disciplines from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period. Areas of interest might include, but are in no way limited to: literature, translation, history, art history, philosophy, science and optics, musicology, etc. Submissions are invited for 20-minute papers and full panels (three papers and a chair). Selected papers from the workshop will be collected as part of a thematic volume of proceedings to be published with a major scholarly press. Proposals (250 words) for papers and panels should be sent by August 1, 2011 to:Nancy Frelick, Chantal Phan, or Juliet O¿BrienDepartment of French, Hispanic and Italian StudiesUniversity of British Columbia797-1873 East MallVancouver BC V6T 1Z1CANADACorreo e.: ubcmedievalworkshop@gmail.com
