INCS : Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies announces its Fifteenth Annual Conference, to be held at the Yale Center for British Art, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut on April 6-8, 2000. This conference focuses on the interdisciplinary issues of how both ideologies and material practices construct, maintain, and challenge centers and peripheral spaces in geographic, political, and psychological terms; we are interested in exploring the ways such practices are reflected and produced in the arts, sciences, commerce, history, and societies of the 19th century. Possible themes for papers include, but are not limited to: Fame and anonymity The Cultures of Trade Avant-gardes and Rear-Guards Colonial Spaces Thought and Feeling Maps and inventions Aliens and other strange beings That's entertainment?
