Nancy Henry, a senior faculty member of the C19 Seminar at the University of Tennessee, is the head organizer of the annual INCS conference alongside other members of the C19 Seminar who are working on the INCS organizing committee! Occurring in Knoxville, TN, from April 13-16, 2023, the conference will focus on movement in the 19th century.
Although our recent experience has been of restricted movement due to the pandemic, we live in a time of change to the ways we move (electric vehicles, space travel), mass dislocations and migrations around the world, and movements for political change (Black Lives Matter, #MeToo) tied to new communication tools.
The nineteenth century was also marked by accelerating movement(s): of peoples, commodities, ideas, technologies, and feelings. The period was characterized by the modernization of transportation,communication, and travel. Dance, theatre, sports, and literature flourished through new forms of physical movement that moved audiences in affectively novel ways. Political, social, and aesthetic movements reshaped culture and society. We welcome proposals on nineteenth-century movement and movements of all kinds.
