Call for Papers: Aging Bodies/Embodied Age

For a proposed special session at MLA 2005, we invite submissions on the connections or disjunctions between age and the body in literature and culture.
Studies of literary works from all periods and languages are welcome, as are analyses of film and other media. Approaches may include considerations of the language, gendering, medicalization, sexuality, economics, aesthetics, and psychology of aging.

Please submit 1-page abstracts by 15 March to Cynthia Port:
