Fourteenth Annual REFORC Conference on Early Modern Christianity
22-24 May 2025
Vienna
About
The organizers of the conference invite papers and panel proposals on the topic of Religion and Rebellion as understood in this broad sense. The focus hereby is on European Christianity in the late medieval and early modern times. However, contributions dealing with other periods or providing comparative perspectives on other religions are also welcome. Given that the religious rebellions came with new forms of propaganda, such as broadsheets, illustrated print publications, and campaign songs, we also invite contributions on the visual and musical dimension of religious rebellion. Furthermore, we invite contributions on the representation of late medieval and early modern religious rebellions in modern historiography, political identity discourses, and any forms of public display (memorials, exhibitions, museums, films etc.).
The conference is open to individual short paper presentations and to thematic sessions of two or three short papers. Presentations will last 20 minutes and are followed by 10 minutes for questions and answers. In addition to the more specific topic mentioned above, the conference is open to proposals focusing on other topics or disciplines related to Early Modern Christianity, ca. 1400-1700, such as philosophy, law, history, theology, etc., independent of the theme of the plenary papers.
