Call for Papers
"Making Publics: Media, Markets, and Association
in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1800"
An Interdisciplinary Conference Sponsored by
the Early Modern Center at
the University of California, Santa Barbara
March 9-10. 2007
What were early modern publics? How were they formed? What needs did
they serve for those who participated in them? And how did they
relate to the emergence of a cultural formation that we recognize as
distinctly early modern? These are among the questions we seek to
address in this conference.
