The ‘Making Publics’ Research Project invites applications for our 2010
Summer Seminar,
‘Communicating Culture in Early Modern Europe’
to be held at Concordia University, Montreal, 17 May - 14 June, 2010
chaired by
Dr. Brian Cowan, Canada Research Chair in British History, McGill
University, and
Dr. Robert Tittler, ‘Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus’,
Concordia University
This seminar will explore the issues of cultural networks and the
translation of styles, conventions, and tastes across geographic and
temporal boundaries. We seek to observe both intra-regional and
trans-regional experiences of cultural communication: how such patterns
developed over the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and their
influence thereafter, and the tensions between traditional (folkloric
and/or 'vernacular'), local, and regional forms of cultural expression
on the one hand and the more formal, or ‘polite', and widespread forms
on the other.
Applicants will come from any field relevant to the subject and will be
at the thesis stage of a doctoral programme or hold recent PhDs. All
travel and living expenses will be defrayed by the Project. Applications
will include a description of the applicants’ work relative to the
project, a current C.V., and two letters of recommendation. All should
be sent to Dr. Marlene Eberhart, project Co-ordinator, Making Publics,
at: [log in to unmask], no later than 15 December, 2009. Results
will be announced in January, 2010.
