JAK CZĘSTO MYŚLICIE O IMPERIUM RZ… ECZYPOSPOLITEJ? Częściej, niż się przyznajecie. Dlaczego nie możemy uwolnić się od tych myśli i dlaczego 1670 zasługuje na to, by potraktować go jako poważną rozmowę o przeszłości możecie przeczytać w Magazynie Kontakt: magazynkontakt.pl/mroczne-widm...

Early Modern Conflict, War and Violence Network @earlymodernwar.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

We are thrilled to announce that the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, with a keynote address by Professor Mark Stoyle, will be held on 30-31 October at the University of Exeter. Please help us spread the world, and consider submitting a proposal!🗡️

Call for papers for the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, taking place at the University of Exeter on 30-31 October.

We are exploring early modern conflict in all its forms. We particularly seek to unpack the interactions between the more traditional aspects of conflict, such as the political, tactical and strategic, with the more human side of it, including sociocultural approaches that explore experiences, representations and impacts of violence. As such, we particularly welcome proposals that look beyond purely military history and break chronological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries.

We welcome proposals for individual papers of up to 20 minutes, or full panels of three to four papers, on any aspect of conflict, war and violence in the early modern period.

Speakers might consider, but are not limited to, the following themes:
Physical, tactical, operational and strategic aspects of warfare.
Martial identities, values and motivations.
Notions of gender, race, class and religion.
Remembering, (re)imagining and representing violence and/or conflict.
The experience of violence, its impact and the everyday at war.
Popular allegiance in early modern conflict.
Maritime violence and naval warfare.
The bureaucracy of conflict, finance and the law.

Abstracts of up to 300 words, along with a biographical note, should be sent to earlymodernwar@gmail.com by Friday 5th September.
