“The Study: The Inner Life of Renaissance Libraries,” a talk by Prof Andrew Hui (Singapore), who is currently a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, will take place at 6.15pm in Seminarraum 6. Drawn from his new book forthcoming with Princeton University Press, Hui’s talk engages with the life and enduring legacy of the Renaissance library by tracing how Europe’s cultural elite assembled personal libraries as refuges from persecutions and pandemics from the 15th century onward. His talk tells the story of the Renaissance studiolo – a “little studio” – and reveals how these spaces dedicated to self-cultivation became both a remedy and a poison for the soul.

Auf der Infoveranstaltung begrüßt das IAAK alle Erstis des Jahrgangs 24/25. Die Erstis werden in den Studiengang English Studies eingeführt und es gibt Gelegenheit, Fragen zu stellen.

Annual Event Series on Gender and Intersectionality Throughout history children have been subjected to violence, coercion, forced labor and separation. Children also developed strategies to cope with their oftentimes deplorable living conditions. This conference is interested in the archival, visual, and material traces some of these children have left - aiming at reconstructing social and emotional worlds of children in early modern global history. With keynotes by Ann Laura Stoler (New School for Social Research), Bianca Premo (Florida International University) and Johanna S. Ransmeier (University of Chicago).
