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.
