CFP: Early Modern Women on Politics and Ethics

Conferences
International Conference October 5-7, 2023 The University of Gothenburg, Sweden In Nicomachean Ethics and Politics, Aristotle conceived ethics and politics to be both interrelated and exclusively male endeavors. This notion continued to be influential in the early modern period (c. 1500 – 1800). Yet in recent decades, feminist scholarship has showed that throughout the early modern world numerous women nonetheless discussed, developed, and challenged politics and ethics in profound and often surprising ways. The conference Early Modern Women on Politics and Ethics is organized by the Early Modern Seminar and the research network Philosophy in Other Words, at the University…

CfP: Feeling Form/Forming Feeling?: Dialectics of Affect and Form in Anglophone Women’s Writing, 1550-1800

Uncategorized
CfP Deadline: 1st March 2022 Ghent University, Carmelite Monastery, 14-15 October 2022 In the field of historical women’s writing, new formalist methodological approaches and theories of affect are being advanced and contested as scholars reimagine the relationship between text and context. Looking at the affordances, collisions and structuring principles of form and affect, this conference invites scholars to explore intersections between form and feeling in women’s writing between 1550-1800: what does a feminist formalist methodology attendant to feeling and affect look like?

François de Billon (1522-1564+)

Book Announcement
My late mother's 1972 unpublished dissertation, "François de Billon (1522-1564+). Féministe – Nationaliste – Secrétaire", is now accessible in HTML format: https://petruscamper.com/billon.htm This is the first study devoted to François de Billon and his book "Le Fort inexpugnable de l'honneur du sexe femenin" (1555), though his name crops up in works on feminism as a strong defender of women and the historian of the "Querelle des Femmes".
