CfP: 2020 TACMRS International Conference: Food: Sacrifical, Spiritual, and Secular

Food, whether secular or spiritual, physical or metaphysical, human or nonhuman, has been an important issue throughout the history of this planet. Human history is a long story of appetitive contest with nature and the environment, while consumption is an empowering practice that involves struggle and sacrifice. The matter of food may illuminate or complicate histories of labor, leisure, science, production, ethical considerations, religious discourse and practices, and environmental concerns.

CfP: Gender and the Book Trades

St Andrews Book Conference

2-4 July 2020

What next for the study of gender and the book? Important studies have drawn attention to women’s work in the manuscript and printed book trades across and beyond Europe, from classical antiquity to the present day. More recently, scholars, activists, artists and booksellers have started to ask what an inclusive bibliography might look like. Work which tackles questions of masculinity and the book trades, meanwhile, remains conspicuously scarce, even as male subjects remain the default for many bibliographers.

Appel à contributions : Transcrire et traduire la parole amérindienne en Nouvelle-France. Le poids des mots autochtones dans les textes issus de la colonisation

Journée d’étude

Collège Universitaire Glendon, Toronto

Le samedi 25 avril 2019

Appel à contributions : Portraits de femmes qui se sont illustrées par leur foi (XVIe-XVIIe siècles). Numéro spécial des CRMH

Cahiers des Recherches Médiévales et Humanistes

On a beaucoup parlé de la relation particulière que la femme entretient depuis toujours avec la religion,

que ce soit dans le domaine privé ou dans le cadre familial. Ce numéro spécial souhaite s’arrêter sur des

figures féminines peu connues ou pas assez connues et sur les écrits qu’elles ont laissés comme

témoignages de l’exceptionnalité de leur vocation. Cette galerie de portraits vise à montrer non

seulement la place importante qu’occupe la piété dans la vie des femmes de la pré-modernité

Colloque jeunes chercheurs : Informer et forger l'opinion en Europe et dans la Jeune Amérique aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles

UNIVERSITÉ DE HAUTE ALSACE, MULHOUSE – 24-25 SEPTEMBRE 2020

(En anglais ci-dessous)

À l'heure de l'information en temps réel et de la multiplication des fausses nouvelles, l'étude de la rédaction et de la circulation des nouvelles à l'époque moderne est riche en enseignements. La transmission de l'information connaît en effet d'importantes mutations aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles: à la diffusion orale et manuscrite s’ajoutent des canaux imprimés de plus en plus diversifiés.
