The Francis Assaf Graduate Student Fund was established in 2019 to assist graduate students in attending the SE17 annual conference. It is named in honor of Francis Assaf, who, from the Society’s foundation, has warmly welcomed countless graduate students into the SE17 community and generously encouraged them in their professional development. Please consider a donation to help support these talented graduate students, the future of our field of seventeenth-century French studies.

Logan Center Executive Director Bill Michel and SE17 conference co-organizer Larry Norman will conduct a tour of this 184,000 square foot multimedia space (visual arts, music, theater and dance, cinema and media) designed to integrate student and faculty creative practice, research and study, and community engagement.
These sessions are open to all conference participants who are not participating in closed work-in-progress sessions, which will meet during these times on Thursday and Friday.
A) Reading Group: Approaches to Early-Modern Itaglio Prints
Chairs: Benoît Bolduc and Juliette Cherbuliez
Participants will read three articles on early modern intaglio prints with a goal of discussing their potential relevance for their own work, and of moving our use of images beyond document or illustration and towards a more critical and culturally specific engagement with this medium.

B) Open Workshop: Théâtre, prostitution, representation(s): Quelle économie de spectacle?
Chair: Clotilde Thouret En faisant dialoguer textes, documents, stéréotypes et aires culturelles, on essaiera de voir ce qu’ils nous disent d’une part du théâtre et d’autre part de la prostitution et des prostituées. Il s’agit notamment d’aller au-delà de l’identification des rôles à partir d’un modèle de la relation esthétique pour envisager celle-ci comme processus, notamment en tenant compte de l’articulation entre séduction érotique et transaction économique.
A) Reading Group: Race, Slavery, and the Early Modern
Chairs: Ashley Williard and David Harrison
Participants will read and discuss a chapter of M’hamed Oualdi’s recently published book L’esclavage dans les mondes musulmans: des premières traites aux traumatismes, in which he discusses how the idea of a “traite islamique” or “traite arabo-musulmane” has been used as an ideological repoussoir to discussions of the Atlantic slave trade.
B) Open Workshop: Ecocriticism and the Early Modern
Chair: Adrien Margili
Les participants liront des extraits de L’Autre monde de Cyrano de Bergerac. Les discussions pourront s'articuler autour de questions touchant à l'agentivité, à la rationalité et à la communication végétales. Il s'agira également de réfléchir à l'expression complexe de l’antispécisme prémoderne, de l’athéisme, et du relativisme.
