Calls for Journal Articles:
Title: 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.

Conference Info Title: Renaissance Society of America Location: Chicago, IL Dates: 3-5 April 2008 Description: The Fifty-Fourth Annual Meeting of the RSA Conference Info Title: International Medieval Congress Location: Leeds, UK Dates: 7-10 July 2008 Description: Interest in (and concern for) the natural environment is not simply a modern phenomenon. Human identities are defined by their relationship with their natural environment, and human lives depend on natural resources. In medieval Europe , the discourse about the natural world was dominated by the Christian religion. However, its foundation was much broader, encompassing a rich and highly varied inheritance from antiquity, including classical natural philosophy, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian religious thought, as well as pagan and vernacular traditions which formed the basis for the development of new European attitudes towards nature. In medieval theology, philosophy, art and literature landscapes such as deserts and wildernesses conveyed meanings, and so did the animals, real or imaginary, that populated them. More Info Title: Early Modern Medievalisms: The Interplay between Scholarly Reflection and Artistic Production Location: University of Leiden (The Netherlands) Dates: 21-23 August 2008 Description: The conference focuses on the interplay and tensions between discourses, continuities and discontinuities, and competing images of the medieval during the early modern period.
