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. -- Abigail Ann Young (Dr), Associate Editor/ Records of Early English Drama/ Victoria College/ 150 Charles Street W/ Toronto Ontario Canada Phone (416) 585-4504/ FAX (416) 813-4093/ [log in to unmask] List-owner of REED-L <http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/reed-l.html> http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/ => REED's home page http://www.reed.utoronto.ca/stage.html => our Web guide http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~young => my home page
