V21 at ASECS; Social Hour
The American Society for 18th Century Studies annual meeting this week features a roundtable on ASECS and V21, concerning the special dix-huitièmiste relationship to historicism, presentism, formalism, theory, and manifestos, as well as infrastructures like Collations and Summer Reading Groups. V21 is grateful for these chances to reflect on long durée inquiry, comparativism, conceptually-driven scholarship, and the problems of fields, unfielding, and Fielding. Those not in Orlando but excited for other such chances should propose site-content and collaborations!
