Locating the Foreign in Early Modern Italy
Renaissance Society of America
March 22-24, 2012: Washington, D.C.
Long before the Grand Tour became de rigueur for European peripatetics,
the Italian peninsula witnessed an influx of merchants, pilgrims,
refugees, and slaves whose presence in Italy contributed to polyglot
cultures, multicultural exchange, and international commerce. Whether
attracted by piety, pleasure, or profit, or forced through poverty and
persecution, these outsiders challenged peninsular regimes to define
the proper social, economic, and cultural place for foreign
populations. Particularly when examined in the context of the Ottoman
wars in Europe, post-Tridentine repression, and the economic shift
towards the Atlantic, the presence of foreign people, ideas, and
merchandise in post-Renaissance Italy offers a compelling
counter-narrative that challenges the cultural stagnation and decline
of Italy’s “forgotten centuries.”
This panel will examine the social, economic, and cultural place of
foreign people and ideas in Italy between the late fifteenth and early
eighteenth centuries. Papers may investigate the physical presence of
foreigners and diasporas in Italy’s ghettos, fondacos, and
neighborhoods, or may examine the strategies used by peninsular
authorities in accommodating these people. Scholars are also
encouraged to submit papers that interpret the theme conceptually, by
interrogating ideas of the foreign propagated by early-modern Italians
or ideas of Italy held in the mind of foreigners. Cross-disciplinary
studies are welcome.
