Department of Early Modern History, Autonoma University of Madrid: Master in Specialized Studies of the Early Modern Period „Spanish Monarchy, XVI-XVIII centuries“ (Web)

Time: 24.-25.11.2022
Venue: Madrid
Proposals by: 15.07.2022

This international Workshop will analyse the historical roots of the violence against women and the effect of the patriarchal system on the Early Modern societies, a topic that is not a novelty, but that is extremely current nowadays. In this sense, the workshop will try to bring together those fields that use categories linked to the gender studies and the historical analysis, to examine considerations related to violence against women in its broader sense, to try to understand and give visibility to this catastrophic social evil.

• Organizers: Margarita Eva Rodríguez García, Ignacio Atienza Hernández, Florencia Machado Pavoni, Isabel Gómez Capitan, Helena Guillén Hernando, and Lorenzo Scalone.
• Guest Speakers: Pilar Pérez Cantó, Maria Luisa Candau, Antonio Gil Ambrona, and Francisco Ledesma Gámez.

This workshop will be composed by 12 papers. The official language of the workshop will be Spanish, but papers in other languages, especially in English, are not only allowed, but welcomed. Also, although the workshop will be mostly in person, there will be possible for the selected speakers to deliver their papers online, if they wish to do so (up to the 20% of the workshop).

The proposals should be composed by a title, name of the speaker and a brief summary of its content. They could be sent until July 15th, 2022 to isabel.gomezcapitan@estudiante.uam.es and lorenzo.scalone@estudiante.uam.es

English Version below

Der Workshop soll Frauen und andere unterrepräsentierten Gruppen von Wissenschafter:innen und Philosoph:innen sichtbar machen, die im Laufe der Geschichte prägend für die Philosophie, Wissenschaft bzw. die Wissenschaftsgeschichte waren und die in der bisherigen (Philosophie und Wissenschafts-)Geschichtsschreibung wenig bis gar keine Beachtung gefunden haben.

Die Veranstaltung strebt dabei eine epochenübergreifende Ausrichtung an, durch die es möglich wird, die Partizipation von Frauen und anderen unterrepräsentierten Gruppen in der Philosophie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte, die Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten, mit denen sie in der Geschichte konfrontiert waren, im Spannungsfeld von linearer und dynamischer Betrachtungzu beleuchten.

Das eineinhalbtägige Kolloquium ist interdisziplinär angelegt. Diese Interdisziplinarität soll es ermöglichen, das Thema der Veranstaltung über die Fächergrenzen hinaus zu betrachten.

The workshop aims to make visible female and other underrepresented scientists and philosophers who have been formative for philosophy, science, or the history of science in the course of history and who have received little or no attention in the previous (philosophy and science) historiography.

Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal (Web)

Proposals by: 15.11.2022

During the past decade, scholars have increasingly turned their attention to issues of climate, environmentalism, natural disasters, and other topics that invite ecocritical approaches to the early modern world. Recently, studies on the „Little Ice Age,“ Shakespeare’s and other authors‘ representations of climate, and medieval and early modern climatology in general have been published in numerous disciplines and venues. Many early modern topics have become the subjects of early modern ecocritical approaches. We are interested in scholarship that places women squarely within such areas of consideration. We invite papers that address such topics as the following:

• What impacts did early modern climate change have on women?
• What elements of women’s environments particularly invite ecocritical consideration?
• What climatological disasters particularly influenced women’s lives and livelihoods?
• How were women linked with climatological change or disasters?
• What traditions or superstitions employed gendered connections with weather, the environment, the success or failure of crops, or the changing seasons?
• How were women’s clothing, housing, food acquisition and preparation, childcare, and other aspects of work impacted during periods of climate change or instability?
• How was women’s health impacted by climate?

For this forum we invite papers of 3,500 words including footnotes that address any of these topics or similar ones. The papers will be due 15 November 2022 and will be sent for peer review. Essays should follow the EMW Style Guide (PDF).
Please submit papers at the website (Link). See Submissions and Instructions for Authors. For article type, select Forum. For queries, please contact the editors at emw@press.uchicago.edu.
