Grain: The Mother of All Trades
This panel seeks new scholarship on the grain trade in early modern
Europe and the ways in which that network was central to the
transmission of cultural exchanges between various regions. How did the
shared history of commodity exchange shape or create city or port
infrastructure? How did the grain trade stimulate other types of
material exchanges, performances or rituals? What evidence sheds light
on a possible intellectual, literary, religious or scientific
understanding of grain? Papers are invited that explore the trade in
grain as manifested in art, architecture, material culture, and literature.
Please send abstracts (no more than 150 words) and a short CV (300-word
maximum) to Dr. Katie Jakobiec ([log in to unmask]) no later
than June 5, 2015.
