Call for Papers

Theme: “Early Modern Europe: From Below, At The Margins, Behind The Scenes”

Despite revisionist studies of Early Modern Europe in past decades, the scholarly narrative still tends to privilege elite voices and sources. Instead, NERC 2020 invites papers from all fields on topics that have been overlooked or insufficiently explored.

Submissions are now open for our 67th Annual Meeting, taking place in Dublin, Ireland, 7–10 April 2021. The deadline to submit individual paper proposals, lightning talks, panels, roundtables, and workshops is 15 August 2020: https://rsa.confex.com/rsa/2021/cfp.cgi

5 July to 31 July 202

While we are very sad not to be welcoming you in Auckland, this virtual conference promises to be an exciting event that will help us all to learn about conferencing in a new way.  So please find attached the programme for the virtual conference France and Beyond. All events are open without any need to “register.”  All the recorded keynotes, webinars and panels will be available as issues of the H-France Salon to be watched after the event.  Links for the live sessions will also be distributed on H-France in the week preceding the event. 

The Society for the Study of Early Modern Women and Gender is now accepting nominations for awards for scholarly work on women and gender in the early modern period (ca. 1450-1750) published/completed between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020.

Comment écrire une histoire des régions alpines qui intègrerait de façon systématique des figures féminines et une analyse des relations de genre ? De quelle manière décrire les parcours de vie et les stratégies individuelles des hommes et des femmes entre espace public et espace privé ?

À travers 1800 lettres, dont 500 inédites, se révèle la figure d’Angélique Arnauld (1591-1661), abbesse réformatrice de Port-Royal : volontaire et exigeante, Angélique Arnauld exprime pourtant sa douloureuse impuissance face aux sanctions royales contre ceux qu’on appela dès lors les jansénistes.

DOUBLE JEU n°18

Les décors de théâtre et de cinéma ont un passé commun. Longtemps, le vocabulaire employé au théâtre servit sur les plateaux de cinéma, et aujourd’hui encore des professionnels passent d’un atelier à l’autre. Pour ce nouveau numéro de Double Jeu consacré aux décors, pourquoi ne pas éveiller ces souvenirs communs, les circulations et transmissions de savoir-faire, d’inventions, mais aussi les écarts, les concurrences, le travail de distinction entre décorateurs de théâtre et décorateurs de cinéma ?

En janvier 2022, Molière aura 400 ans. Quatre siècles d’une notoriété prodigieuse qui s’est affirmée dès les premiers spectacles donnés à Paris à la fin des années 1650 et qui n’a cessé de s’amplifier au fil du temps, jusqu’à s’étendre à l’échelle planétaire. Quatre siècles aussi au cours desquels les discours sur l’auteur et sur l’oeuvre n’ont cessé de se multiplier. Devenu, sitôt disparu, objet de légendes, « l’auteur du Misanthrope » (pour reprendre la célèbre formule de Boileau) a nourri post mortem un discours

In March 2018, we launched the bilingual (English-French) website and database: Theatre in Saint-Domingue, 1764-1791. 

Today, I am delighted to announce the launch of a new Haitian Creole version of both the website and the database.  The French and English versions have also been updated.  This phase of the project was made possible thanks to the support of the University of St Andrews.

Is the foreigner friend or foe? The rhetoric around immigration has become ever more heated as globalization, climate change, pandemics, civil wars and proxy wars, the ease of travel, and cross-cultural exchange and encounter have rapidly increased. In the transition from the medieval to the early modern period, a similar intensity in such activity within Europe and outside its borders dominated everything from literature to politics to religion.

Cet ouvrage étudie la façon dont les poètes des xvie et xviie siècles qualifient les divinités inspiratrices, ainsi que les arrière-plans savants de leurs invocations, afin d’analyser les revendications poétiques dont celles-ci sont porteuses, de l’Italie et de la France au Nord de l’Europe.
