INTERDISCIPLINARY NINETEENTH-CENTURY STUDIES
Rutgers: The State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick
We welcome papers that draw on any aspect of conflict relating to the "long nineteenth-century" - including the adoption of this expression itself. They might address issues of periodization (Romantic vs. Victorian, Victorian vs. modern, Romantic vs. modern); contemporary debates (evolution, secular vs. religious culture, establishment vs. dissent, class struggle and class consciousness); public vs. private issues (and the validity of such distinctions) involving, for example, generational opposition, sibling rivalry, adultery, domestic violence, and sexual orientation; physical combat and warfare (wrestling and pugilism to the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimea, Lucknow, the Boer War), riots and state interventions (Peterloo, Preston, the Gordon riots); press debates and controversies; and such theoretical oppositions as global/insular, regional/cosmopolitan, and high/low.
Longer versions of INCS conference papers are regularly published in the affiliated Nineteenth-Century Contexts: An Interdisciplinary Journal.
