Re-creating Renaissance and Baroque Spectacle: The Hispanic Habsburg Dynasty in Context
6–7 July 2010, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK
The organisers of this two-day conference seek contributions related to any aspect of Early Modern European festivals and are especially interested in proposals which relate to the festivals of the Hispanic Habsburg dynasty. Proposals from any field of the Humanities in a broad sense are welcome, with an emphasis on, but not limited to, the visual arts, music and performing arts. Ultimately, we are interested in any study that would bring back the pageantry and senses of those magnificent events.
The Keynote speaker is Prof. Fernando Checa Cremades, University Complutense of Madrid, Spain. Prof. Checa Cremades is one the most important international voices in the study of Renaissance and Golden Age art patronage in Europe. Among his many achievements, he is a former director of the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Dr. Alexander Samson from the University College of London has confirmed his attendance. He is due to publish a book entitled: Mary Tudor and the Habsburg Marriage: England and Spain 1553–1557.
Submissions should include a 300 word abstract in English or Spanish and a 200 word CV, and should be emailed as an attachment. The deadline for proposals is 1 April 2010. Notification of acceptance will be made before 1 May 2010. See here for the full call for papers.
