"Bubbles, Crashes, and Other Financial Crises in Art and Literature"

A session of the 2008 Meeting of the American Society for 
Eighteenth-Century Studies (Portland, OR, March 27-30, 2008).

I invite paper proposals dealing with the visual and/or verbal 
treatments of the financial crises and innovations that shaped 
economic and cultural history in the long eighteenth century.  Papers 
that focus on under-studied geographical areas, as well as papers 
written from an interdisciplinary and/or comparative perspective are 
particularly welcome.

Please send one-page paper proposals to Catherine Labio, Depts of 
Comparative Literature and French, Yale University, P. O. Box 208251, 
New Haven CT 06520-8251, USA; fax: (203) 432-7975; e-mail: 
catherine.labio[AT]yale.edu

Proposals must be received no later than September 15, 2007.

Please include your telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address and 
mention any audio-visual needs and special scheduling requests.
