Quand image et objet-livre interagissent, cela intéresse tout autant l’histoire du livre que l’histoire de l’art et d’autres disciplines telles que les littéraires, chacune travaillant avec ses propres méthodes.
La richesse de l’œuvre littéraire de Roger de Rabutin est désormais établie, qu’il s’agisse de son roman, de ses Mémoires ou de ses écrits épistolaires et poétiques ; cependant, ses réalisations figuratives, bien qu’elles soient tout aussi raffinées, sont moins connues, même si elles ont fait l’objet de plusieurs études.
Food, whether secular or spiritual, physical or metaphysical, human or nonhuman, has been an important issue throughout the history of this planet. Human history is a long story of appetitive contest with nature and the environment, while consumption is an empowering practice that involves struggle and sacrifice. The matter of food may illuminate or complicate histories of labor, leisure, science, production, ethical considerations, religious discourse and practices, and environmental concerns.
The 2020 conference of the Canadian Society for Renaissance Studies / Société canadienne d’études de la Renaissance (CSRS/SCÉR) will be hosted by Western University (London, ON) from May 30 to June 1st, as a part of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences’ annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

St Andrews Book Conference
2-4 July 2020
What next for the study of gender and the book? Important studies have drawn attention to women’s work in the manuscript and printed book trades across and beyond Europe, from classical antiquity to the present day. More recently, scholars, activists, artists and booksellers have started to ask what an inclusive bibliography might look like. Work which tackles questions of masculinity and the book trades, meanwhile, remains conspicuously scarce, even as male subjects remain the default for many bibliographers.
