Frühe Neuzeit Interdisziplinär Location: Montreal, Canada Conference Date: Oct 14-17 2010 Frühe Neuzeit Interdisziplinär: The Conference Group for Interdisciplinary Early Modern German Studies. "Visual Acuity and the Arts of Communication in Early Modern Germany." The sixth international conference sponsored by FNI will address visual culture in early modern Germany. Artists, writers, preachers, musicians, and performers, as well as those whom they may represent, need audiences. In a society saturated with images, visualization, whether literal or imaginative, becomes a dynamic tool for communication. In early print culture writers, artists, and publishers experimented with how to combine visual images with text in order to make their messages more effective. Authors, such as Hans Sachs, often engaged their audiences through verbal pictures, such as vivid descriptions of settings and people. During the Early Modern period religious propagandists, political writers, satirists, cartographers, the scientific community, and others experimented with new uses of visual images. Practitioners of many disciplines adopted visual criteria for testing truth claims, investigating pressing problems, and representing knowledge. Papers are invited from scholars in all Early Modern fields focusing on any aspect of visual culture. More Infotop
Calls for Journal Articles:
Journal of the Holy Roman Empire
Deadline: Floating
Description: The Journal of the Holy Roman Empire is now accepting submissions for
future issues. The Journal of the Holy Roman Empire is a peer-reviewed e-journal that
offers original research on the history and culture of the Empire. We welcome
contributions from all avenues of historical inquiry, including but certainly not
limited to political, religious, gender, social, economic, and military history.
The goal of JHRE is to foster scholarship on historical issues that cross the
boundaries of the modern nation-state and of historiographical periodization. We
encourage submissions with either a local or Empire-wide focus, but we especially
hope to provide a forum for research that concerns more than one modern state or that
considers Empire-wide institutions, culture, or history.
