This conference intends to draw together literal and metaphorical ideas about wildness into an interdisciplinary investigation. Keynote Speakers include Max Oelschlaeger, author of The Idea of Wilderness, and David Rothenberg, co-editor of The World and The Wild and many other works, and jazz clarinetist. Papers could include the following themes or starting points: Wild Mind/Wild Bodies Marking/Mapping the Wild: Geography, Politics, Institutions Seeing/Representing/Displaying the Wild Wild History, or the Wild in History Wild Life, Wild Lives Memories and Anticipations of Wilderness Wild Ideas: What's Left To Explore?
