Online Symposium, 19th May 2023

Call for Papers:

Ideas, acts and practices of power were intrinsic to all levels of early modern life. This online conference will explore, question and evaluate how power was constructed, resisted, performed and undone across local, national and international spheres, through language, text, politics, technology, kinship, kingship, literature, and more.
