CALL FOR PAPERS
Fruehe Neuzeit Interdisziplinaer (FNI)
The third triennial conference of Fruehe Neuzeit Interdisziplinaer will
take place on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina,
April 19-22, 2001. FNI is a conference group that supports and promotes
interdisciplinary research on the culture, politics, and society of
German-speaking Central Europe during the early modern period (roughly
1400-1750). The organization brings together scholars from all areas of
the arts and sciences in an effort to promote innovative scholarship and
imaginative teaching about German society and culture in this era, as well
as to overcome boundaries between the various disciplines and
methodologies in an effort to broaden our understanding of the early
modern world.
The general theme of the 2001 conference will be "Ways of Knowing": In
many disciplines, scholars wonder whether historical reality is easily
grasped beyond a document, a literary text or an image. As a result many
scholars no longer take sources, images and texts at face value, but look
to understand the cultural values that helped shape their creation. The
conference invites explorations of how people in the past perceived,
understood, and created their own worlds and how modern scholars in turn
create knowledge about these early modern worlds. The conference will
include sessions and workshops from history, music, art history, religion,
literature, and the history of science, medicine, and technology.
