Early Modern Aspirations
The Birkbeck Early Modern Society’s 5th Student Conference
‘Aspiration’
Saturday 10 September 2011, 10.00-16.30, Birkbeck College
Call for Papers
The Birkbeck Early Modern Society is pleased to announce its 5th annual student conference on the theme of ‘Aspiration’.
We aim to provide a stimulating event at which students can network, present their research and exchange ideas with peers from a range of disciplines. The day promises to be an ideal forum to showcase student research and to provide opportunities to develop presentation skills.
Our theme this year is ‘Aspiration’. What did people in the early modern period aspired to: status, political favour, fame, fortune, virtue, salvation? How did aspirations relate to gender, rank, religion and nationality? These are some of the themes that the conference could address.
We are interested in aspiration during the early modern period, 1500-1800; conference papers could address a range of subject areas, such as politics, art, science, religion, music, literature, philosophy, belief, medicine, or consumption. We are looking for a diverse collection of papers that connect with our conference theme.
Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words for papers lasting 20-25 minutes (about 2,000 words). Please email your abstract to Dr Laura Jacobs, Secretary, Birkbeck Early Modern Society, at bbkems@gmail.com by 5pm on Friday 15 July 2011.
Public and Private Spaces in the Early Modern World
Papers are welcomed from *post-graduate and early career academics* across the disciplines of English literature and related areas of art, music and history, covering the period of 1530-1700, for a one-day Colloquium:
*Public and private spaces in the Early Modern World* at the University of Sheffield, on 9th September 2011
Keynote speaker: Professor Steven W. May The emergence of a public sphere of political debate in the sixteenth century saw a concomitant flowering of the concept of the private individual. What were the pressure points and contested areas in the increasing division of the public from the private? How did these attitudes manifest themselves in the physical, textual and gendered spaces of Early Modern discourse, in religious notions of public worship and private devotion, in concepts of citizenship and sexuality, and in the cultures of reading and writing? Please submit proposals for 15-20-minute papers, 200 words or less, by 31 March 2011, to, Jessica Edmondes j.edmondes@sheffield.ac.uk or Claire Williams c.b.williams@sheffield.ac.uk
Imaginative Geographies: Travels of the Mind in Early Modern Europe
While Renaissance and Early Modern Studies are focused on the two and a half centuries between 1500 and 1750, the areas of research that the period encompasses are multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging. A common thread is the spatial or geographical dimension. This conference aims to attract a wide audience, to explore correspondences between geography, literary and historical fields of research, to enable varied and cross-disciplinary discourses between scholars and students of the arts and sciences, and to enrich renaissance and early modern research with methodological and thematic diversity. There will be panels on: 'Spiritual Geographies', 'Cartographic Spaces', 'Mapping the Other', 'Mapping the Familiar'.
Please download the application form from the conference website if you are interested in attending: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/arts/gradschool/community/conferences/imaginative-geographies.html.
Please note, there is a delegate's fee of £10 for applications received before 14 September 2011, rising to £12 for applications received after that date. There is an additional £5 charge for those delegates wishing to attend the conference reception, at which early modern-inspired refreshments will be served. This conference is organised by postgraduate REMS researchers at the University of Bristol and supported by The Bristol Institute for Research in the Humanities and Arts.
