Supported by a Major Collaborative Research\nInitia tive grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research\nCouncil of Ca nada\, this project examines the various forces that\nshaped the emergence and evolution of 'publics': open-membership\ngroups that coalesced around practices\, interests\, ideas\, values\,\nand forms of publication or per formance in the early modern\nperiod.\nAccounts of the cultural\, intellec tual\, social\, and spiritual\ntransformations of early modern Europe not only expanded the\nhorizons of European thought but\, more essentially\, c alled into\nquestion the certainties of classical and religious teachings. This\nsymposium will examine the effects these various processes had upon \npublics in Europe and in the new domains of European expansion and\ninfl uence. How did racial\, ethnic and cultural differences impact\nupon tradi tional concerns\, modes of thought\, institutions\,\npractices or forms of association? Did “positionality\,” one’s\nphysical location\, affect the publics found there? Were the roles\nof science and the arts the same in E uropean publics at home and\nabroad? And\, more generally\, how was the cr eation and evolution of\npublics informed by European discoveries in Afric a\, Asia\, America\,\nand elsewhere in the early modern period?\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080925 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080927 LOCATION:CA\, The Newberry Library\, Chicago\, The Newberry Library\, Chica go SUMMARY:New Worlds\, New Publics: Re(con)figuring Association and the Impac t of European Expansion\, 1500-1700 URL:/channels/event/new-worlds-new-publics-reconfiguri ng-association-and-impact-european-expansion-1500-1700-100947 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
