17c cultural innovations or sociable practices
I would like to put together a panel that focuses on cultural innovations or practices of sociability that emerged or transformed in the mid 17th century. My own paper will examine how the exercise of new, short-lived liberties in the 1640s and 1650s enabled the resolution of old conceptual tensions regarding sociable religious practices, with far-reaching implications for civil society. Papers on early modern sociability or novel cultural practices (contextually situated) would fit nicely. If interested, please contact me at jim.honeyford@umanitoba.ca by 20 April 2026.
