Free speech, religion and political culture in northern Europe, 1400-1750 (Edinburgh, 16-17 April 2020)

Organization: Alasdair Raffe (University of Edinburgh), Martine Veldhuizen (Utrecht University)

This workshop explores aspects of ‘freedom of speech’ in late medieval and early modern northern Europe.  Freedom of speech was by no means a fundamental right in the late middle ages and early modern period, and yet expressions of critical opinions towards power were always possible and often widespread.  They could be uttered verbally, through the spoken or written word, but also through other sign systems and media, ranging from the sound of musical instruments to heraldic languages.

The Edinburgh workshop will analyse the practice of free speech, paying particular attention to the expression of controversial religious and political ideas.  Much recent scholarship has examined the circulation of news and information, the mobilisation and manipulation of political opinions and the media of public debate.  Other works have broadened our understanding of religious debates and dissent, especially in the two centuries after the Reformation.  Building on this research, speakers at the workshop will examine claims to freedom of religious and political speech.  Some contributors will discuss theoretical arguments in defence of free speech, others the media and linguistic character of ‘free’ utterances.  Papers will assess instances of free speech in historical and literary contexts, and trace the consequences of speaking up for an opinion.  We invite case studies that can help us to address large, pan-European questions regarding free speech.

The workshop will consider the following questions:

  • How did late-medieval and early modern Europeans think about and defend free speech?
  • Which media and forms of language were used to express religious and political ideas? What determined the choice of particular media and forms of language?
  • What kind of messages were spread? Were they subversive or did they legitimise power?
  • How was free speech received? What were the effects of free speech in the development of religious communities, political attitudes and subversive movements?
  • Can ‘European’ patterns be distinguished, or were the practices of free speech determined more by national, provincial and local institutions and norms?

We invite proposals from historians, literary and linguistic scholars.  We would particularly welcome contributions from advanced PhD students and postdoctoral scholars.  Papers should be twenty-five minutes in length and given in English.

Abstracts of 300 words, together with a one-page CV, should be sent to Alasdair Raffe (alasdair.raffe@ed.ac.uk) by Friday 6 December 2019.

“Vloeibaar Ondernemerschap. De Stedelijke Zoektocht naar Drinkwater voor 1800”: Internationaal symposium (Antwerpten, 28 november)

500 jaar Gilbert Van Schoonbeke

Vloeibaar Ondernemerschap. De Stedelijke Zoektocht naar Drinkwater voor 1800

Internationaal symposium in het kader van 500 jaar Gilbert Van Schoonbeke en Antwerpen 1519-2019

Veemarkt

Pomp op de Veemarkt, © Stadsarchief Antwerpen

Water is van vitaal belang voor elke stad. Al eeuwenlang zoeken overheden en inwoners naar oplossingen om de steeds grotere vraag naar drink- of bruikbaar water te beantwoorden.

Vanaf de 16de eeuw wordt drinkwater meer en meer een voorwerp van ondernemerschap en privaat initiatief. Exact 500 jaar geleden werd in Antwerpen Gilbert Van Schoonbeke geboren. Hij liet de eerste waterleiding in de stad aanleggen.

In dit symposium staan we stil bij die vroege zoektocht naar drinkbaar water in de stad, de betekenis van ‘ondernemerschap’ in water en de relevantie van het stedelijke waterverleden voor de watervoorziening vandaag.

Postdoctoral researcher on “Historical future expectations in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Period” (UAntwerp)

The Faculty of Arts of the University of Antwerp  is seeking to fill a full-time (100%) vacancy in the Department of History for a

Postdoctoral researcher in an ERC-funded project on historical future expectations in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Period

The candidate will be affiliated with the Centre for Urban History. The Centre for Urban History is an international acknowledged research centre focusing on urban societies, structures and processes in historical perspective. The candidate will contribute to the ERC Starting Grant Project “Back to the Future: Future expectations and actions in late medieval and early modern Europe, c.1400-c.1830” funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no. 851053, https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/225075/factsheet/en) and supervised by prof. dr. Jeroen Puttevils).

To gain more insight in how people in the past thought about the future and how this affected their actions, this project draws on a combination of close and distant reading methods of more than 15,000 letters written in (varieties of) Italian, German, French, Dutch and English by and to European merchants in the period 1400-1830.

The post-doctoral researcher will carry out the analysis of long-term developments in the linguistic expression and rhetoric of future statements on the basis of English merchant letters which cover the entire period and are mostly available in digital form. The researcher will use distant reading methods to find and categorize future statements within the English letters. Through close-reading particular letters (s)he will contextualize these future statements. The researcher will also assist and co-supervise the other team members, especially in the digital text analysis of the project.

Job description

  • You contribute to research in the field of the late medieval and early modern future expectations in general and to the research goals of the project.
  • You co-supervise PhD students and other team members and assist them in digital text analysis.
  • You publish scientific articles related to the research project of the assignment. These publications can be co-authored with other project members and external researchers.

  • You are fluent in academic English (speaking and writing).
  • Command of additional languages that will be encountered in the project’s sources (Italian, Low & High German, Dutch and/or French merchant letters) is an important advantage.
  • You have at least basic skills in text digitization, digital text analysis and text-mining and the willingness to improve these skills within a few months. Familiarity with coding and programming languages such as Python is commendable but not a strict requirement.
  • You have experience in managing large amounts of historical sources and texts.
  • Your academic qualities comply with the requirements stipulated in the university’s policy.
  • The focus in your teaching corresponds to the educational vision of the university.
  • You are quality-oriented, conscientious, creative and cooperative.
  • You have strong communication skills.

We offer

  • an appointment as a postdoctoral researcher for a trial period of one year. After one year and positive assessment the contract can be renewed for an additional three years;
  • the date of appointment is February 1, 2020;
  • a full time gross monthly salary ranging from € 4.134,93 – € 6.446,00;
  • a dynamic and stimulating work environment.

How to apply?

  • Applications may only be submitted online. Applications include a copy of your CV, a cover letter in which you explain your interest in the project and clearly document how your profile matches with it, and an article or working paper which features your previous research.

“Working women in pre-industrial Europe. Perspectives on the gendering of urban labour markets” (Leuven November 14-15)

Scholars have long been debating whether a decline in women’s economic agency took place from the Late Medieval or Early Modern period onwards and what its chronology looked like. Furthermore, historians have argued for a difference in women’s economic opportunities between southern and north-western Europe. Divergent juridical and demographic structures supposedly gave northern women more possibilities for agency than southern women. However, several case studies have shown deviations from these two models. This workshop aims to bring together scholars working on gender and work to compare different regions of Europe and various labour types, spanning both the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. In doing so, this workshop wants to discuss what factors shaped women’s work and wants to further the debate on women’s positions in urban labour markets, the impact of craft guilds, and the importance of gender on the informal markets.
