This
panel of the 32nd Medieval-Renaissance Conference (UVA-Wise, Sept.
13-15, 2018) invites papers on medieval and early modern villains and
the dynamic ethical codes assigned them by authors, audiences, and
critics. By villains we mean criminals, tricksters (such as professional
beggers), political careerists, or poets and their characters,
charismatic or not. Some viable threads: villains as likable
(anti-)heroes; villains as reflections of med-ren political and social
audiences; the vices, virtues, and skills of villains; the ethical
implications their very existence conjures. Submit abstracts to Sherif
Abdelkarim at sa2je@virginia.edu. Deadline July 2, 2018.
