The Sixth International Conference of the Book
-
Date:
25-27 October 2008
-
Description:
In the context of today's rapid developments in information technologies, the book is indeed an old medium of expression. Do the new media (the internet, multimedia texts and new delivery formats) represent a threat or an opportunity? What is the book's future as a creature of and conduit for human creativity? This Conference will address the provocative suggestion that, rather than being eclipsed by the new media, the book will thrive as a cultural and commercial artifact. More than this, the information architecture of the book, embodying as it does thousands of years' experience with recorded knowledge, may well prove critical to the success of the new media.

The representation of working people in Britain and France
-
Date:
13 - 15 November 2008
-
Description:
Society for the Study of Labour History Annual Conference. This conference will constitute a challenging reconsideration of representations of workers and the meaning and experience of labour, and the diverse ways in which the socio-political relations of work were mediated from the medieval period to the twentieth century. We aim for a series of workshops based either on chronological periods or thematic topics (or of course on both). Comparative papers on Anglo-French similarities and contrasts are also welcome. We therefore invite proposals not only from labour historians and those working in the discipline of history more generally, but also from art historians, critical theorists, historical sociologists, literary scholars, museum curatorial staff, and specialists in the history of economic thought. The submission of either single papers or panels will be welcomed.

Culture and Merseyside
-
Date:
14 November 2008

Description:
This inter-disciplinary conference will explore Merseyside's culture and assess its contribution to regional/national and international cultures. Papers covering any variety of cultural expression - high/low, lived/imagined, minority/majority - and their interconnections will be considered. Topics may include, but are not limited to, folk and ethnic cultures, depictions of the region, food and drink, material culture, sport, art and artists, literature, political culture, religious traditions, the representation of identity in museums and galleries, and travel writing. In addition, the concept of culture itself, and how varying definitions of this transform the region's cultural texture, will be interrogated. Papers delivered at earlier CLAMS conferences (on Identity and Empire respectively) have been included in two publications, and papers selected for this conference will be considered for publication.

Revealing records
-
Date:
6 March 2009
-
Description:
Papers are invited for a one day postgraduate conference, Revealing Records. Records and manuscripts are the lifeblood of medieval research, but they can be difficult to access. The ideas and attitudes of those who created the extant documents, the language and form in which they are written, pose practical and intellectual challenges. In a supportive atmosphere this conference will enable postgraduates (MAs and PhDs), who are working with medieval documents, to discuss and critique the merits (and pitfalls) of their research methodology, and in so doing, offer help and advice to fellow students working in similar fields. We are looking for individuals who would like to give papers (25 minutes) about their research. Ideally, students will be working closely with a specific manuscript or group of documents (i.e. letters, chronicles, accounts, inventories and royal records). Papers would include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) Overview of the documents/manuscripts, their historical importance and value; (2) Debates that have been particularly helpful (or unhelpful) in studying the documents/manuscripts; (3) Issues that can make the study of this particular type of document/manuscript difficult; (4) Consideration of how the documents/manuscripts can be used by other medievalists. The conference will conclude with a round-table discussion involving professors David Carpenter (KCL), Élisabeth Lalou (Rouen), and Nicholas Vincent (UEA).

The history of men and masculinities
-

18 - 19 June 2009

Description:
This conference is both transperiodic and international. Its aim is to create a context for comparative perspectives drawing together scholars who have pursued the theme of masculinity in relative isolation.

Its contributions and conclusions will be presented in the form of an edited history of men and masculinities. The proceedings will be grouped in five themes: Men, masculinities, virilities; Words, concepts, usages; Signs and markers; Proving and Testing masculinity; and Hierarchies of men and masculinities.

Anglo-American Conference for Historians 2009
-
Date:
2-3 July 2009
-
Description:
For 10,000 years cities have shaped the affairs of mankind. Now, more than half of the world's population is urban, dwelling in settlements that we identify as 'city' or 'town', some of them so extensive and so complex that they seem to transcend traditional notions of urban organisation and form. This conference will deal with cities throughout the world. Proposals are sought for papers or panel sessions on any aspect of city life, form, ideology and culture over this period. Thematic contributions making comparisons over time or across space will be especially welcome, as will those on networks of cities and their role in cultural formation, on the relations between cities, territories and larger political units, on the ideologies and cosmologies of the city and on what distinguishes the city or town from other forms of settlement or ways of life.

Cultural Histories of Sociability, Spaces and Mobility
-
Date:
9-11 July 2009
-
Description:
This conference aims to explore how, from the mediaeval period and earlier through to (post)modern times, what it means to be fully social has evolved in relation to spatial movement, whether of an everyday or an exceptional character. We welcome proposals for papers from any perspective in relation to the historical connections between human sociability and mobility, including:
- different kinds; from the transport of people to the mobility of goods, merchandise and ideas, from enforced movements to the discretionary consumption of mobility
- different periods; from mediaeval or earlier to the contemporary
- different scales; from large transport regimes to individual mobilities, from neighbourhood to global flows
- different actors; from mechanical technologies to human- and animal-powered mobilities
- different spaces; from developed to developing countries and transnational zones.

The York massacre of 1190 in context
-
Date:
29-31 March 2010
-
Description:
This conference will aim to use the events of 1189-90 as a lens through which to reassess society in England in the later twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. The York massacre was not just a local event but one of a series of violent attacks on local communities of Jews across England in 1189-90. This wider conflict provides an important insight into the rapidly changing nature of English society. We therefore wish to invite papers not only on Anglo-Jewry but on the wider interpretative frameworks of scholarship on English culture, society and government within which the events of 1190 need to be located. Keynote speakers: Professor Paul R. Hyams, Department of History, Cornell University and Professor Jeffrey J. Cohen, Department of English, George Washington University.
