EMC Work-in-Progress Series: Professor Ann Plane (History, UCSB) |
|
5/6/2009 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
|
 Ann Plane, Associate Professor of History at UCSB, and author of Colonial Intimacies, will present a paper as part of the Early Modern Center's work-in-progress series. Her presentation, entitled, "'When I Awaked': Colonial Encounters, Gendered Meanings, and the Cultural Significance of Dream Reporting in Seventeenth-Century New England," explores the convergence of two distinctive 'dream cultures,' that of the Algonquian-speaking natives of the region and that of the seventeenth-century nonconformist English colonists. Her paper also considers how these dream cultures reveal the gendered dynamics of colonization, particularly focusing on the representation of masculinity among both colonizer and colonized. Her presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. This event will be on Wednesday, May 6 from 3:30-5:00 in South Hall 2510 (the Early Modern Center). Please join us! |
