World Enough, but no time

The world is richer than I knew in opportunities. I was chasing a puzzle Lis had inadvertently set me. Along the way I found this:

The Faculties of Letters of the University of Geneva and the University of Lausanne have the pleasure to invite you to the XIIth Congress of the International Courtly Literature Society (ICLS), which will take place from 29 July to 4 August 2007 in the two Lemanic cities (Lausanne 29.07-31.07, Geneva 01.08-04.08).

We wish to hold this meeting on a common theme, which would provide direction for our work, yet still allow sufficient scope for the illustration of individual research projects. We hereby invite you to send us paper proposals on the theme:

Courtly Mythologies

This theme will be developed through four different lines of thought:
a) Exemplary figures
b) Gender definitions and courtly mythologies
c) Rites and performances of power
d) Questions of style and rewriting

We will gladly welcome proposals for thematic sessions organised by individual participants or groups of participants.

The official languages of ICLS are French, English and German. In line with Swiss linguistic tradition, communications in Italian will also be accepted.

So, then, being in mid-Google, I found this site! http://cfp.english.upenn.edu/archive/Medieval/

Have fun, my medievalist friends not already familiar with it! And... they have more just like it in other historical fields, too!
