Knowing About Mediation: Understanding Communication In Enlightenment Europe

Convened by: James Raven (UK)

Location: 15-18 September 2013, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Keywords

tory; media-history; communication; literature; bibliography

Summary

This workshop pioneers a new interdisciplinary history of communication and its contemporary understanding in Enlightenment Europe by establishing a platform to connect diverse historical approaches to ‘mediation’ with new digital sources and retrieval opportunities. The social history of knowledge is being transformed by advances in transnational histories of ‘mediation’, print and material culture, communication networks and parallel critical approaches, but awaits joined-up investigation. The workshop will develop a full RNP (or Cost Action equivalent) application, incorporating a website, printed publication, and follow-up colloquia hosted by Cambridge and Essex Universities and the CPBT
