International Workshop

IDENTITIES AND REPRESENTATIONS IN THE LONG EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY

7th of december 2022 at The Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome. From 09.00 to 20.00.

Social, political, and sexual identities in the Long Eighteenth-Century are the focus of this one-day symposium that seeks to explore self representation as a function of identity through a series of case studies. The papers comprising the three conference panels draw from a diverse set of methodologiesand disciplinary fields to examine how certain physical, institutional, and cultural  spaces contribute to the defining and refining of personal and group identities. Scholars will focus on verbal communication as it appeared in written, manuscript, and printed documents, as well as material culture and the visual and performing arts. More generally, they will consider the capacity of individuals and groups to produce new ideas and forms of knowledge that bridge the gap between norm and praxis while negotiating individual and group demands with principles of authority. Intersectional identities in the cases presented constitute a salient feature of this program.
