SCS Conference Registration - "Courtly Experiences in the Premodern World"

Courtly Experiences in the Premodern World, c. 1200-1800: Cultural, Material and Sensory Experiences in the World of the Court

22-24 August 2024

Venue

Palacký University Olomouc

Olomouc, Czechia

Conference overview

Throughout premodern history, royal and princely courts around the world were epicentres of activity, interactions, exchanges and modes of cultural production that defined the environments of different courts and also shaped the encounters that took place within different court cultures. For instance, visitors of foreign courts often described the objects of the spaces they visited, as well as the sights, sounds and smells of the world around them. Yet it is not always clear how the material or sensory elements impacted the interactions or experiences of people at court.

This interdisciplinary conference invites scholars to gather and pursue this developing field of study, seeking to explore the intersections and nuances of courtly experiences in physical, material and sensory terms.

Keynotes

Professor Karl Kügle, University of Oxford/Utrecht University
