Imaginative Geographies: Travels of the Mind in Early Modern Europe

10:00-17:10 (with registration from 9:30) University of Bristol: Lecture Theatre 1, 43 Woodland Road Bristol, BS8 1UU

While Renaissance and Early Modern Studies are focussed on the histories of the two and a half centuries between 1500 and 1750, the areas of research that the period encompasses are multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging. A common thread is the spatial or geographical dimension.

This conference aims to attract a wide audience, to explore correspondences between geography and historical fields of research, to enable varied and cross-disciplinary discourses between scholars and students of the arts and sciences, and to enrich renaissance and early modern historical research with methodological and thematic diversity.

The conference features a wide range of papers from around the world, covering a variety of disciplines ranging from Music to Cartography. Panels will include: Spiritual Geographies; Cartographic Spaces; Mapping the Familiar; and Mapping the Other.
