Regions and Regionalism in Early Modern France
(panel session)

The Annual Meeting of the Renaissance Society of America
Chicago, IL
3-5 April 2008

In the 15th and 16th centuries, many independent territories were annexed
to the French realm. Yet, the political annexation of a territory did not
necessary guarantee the automatic cultural and social assimilation of the
people living there. An inevitable complication arose: how could one be
both French and other at the same time? This panel will explore the
relationships between regional and national identities in Early Modern
France, and, specifically, how different authors negotiate between those
identities.

CFP: "The idea of Europe in the 18th century" (6/30/2007;9/20/2007-9/22/2007)

The eighteenth century is often considered as a key period in the emergence of a
broader European consciousness and the synchronous decline of older imagined
communities such as Occident and Christianity. At the end of the eighteenth
century, however, the age of "old Europe" based on dynasties, elite culture and
balance of power politics was profoundly shaken, if not destroyed, by the
French Revolution and the ensuing international instability. A heated
discursive battle over the redefinition of Europe ensued.
