Call for Papers
Early Modern Rome, ca. 1341-1667
14-15 May 2010
University of California, Rome
Rome, Italy
Early modern Rome was contradictory and complex; its vernacular and
high culture animated and rich. From Petrarch?s crowning as Poet
Laureate on the Capitoline in 1341 to the pontificate of Alexander VII
Chigi in 1667, this conference aims to bring together scholars from a
range of disciplines?history, art and architectural history,
literature, music, dance, religious studies, philosophy, history of
medicine or science, and others?to investigate the city through a
variety of different approaches and methods.
The conference organizers intend to bring together in a single venue
those whose research focuses on the city of Rome in an effort to
encourage scholars to venture outside of their own disciplinary issues
and concerns to explore concurrent forms of cultural production or
social and political events. We also aim to amend in part the
Florentine/Venetian axis of much scholarship on Renaissance Italy, at
least outside of art history. All accepted papers will be published in
a volume devoted to the conference, and selected papers will be
included in a subsequent edited volume with a university press.
Conference papers should be 20-minutes (approximately 10 double-spaced
pages) and may be in either English or Italian.
Please send a one-page CV and an abstract of 150 words to Julia L.
