  Tribute to Nicole Racine

  Archives and the writing of history

  La Société études Jean-Richard Bloch et le Centre d’histoire de Sciences Po se sont unis pour rendre hommage à Nicole Racine (1940-2012), avec le soutien de l’université Paris Diderot Paris 7 et de l’Institut d’histoire du temps présent. Cette journée sera l’occasion pour ses amis et collègues de revenir sur une œuvre importante (une thèse qui fit référence, plus d’une centaine d’articles, le dernier étant publié en 2011 et trois ouvrages en codirection), d’évoquer la collègue et l’amie discrète, fidèle, exigeante, d’une grande générosité intellectuelle, et de prolonger la réflexion de l’historienne sur les archives et l’écriture de l’histoire.

  Call for papers - Early modern

  Women and Curiosity in Early Modern Europe

  The multiplication of cabinets of curiosities and the obsession with novelty are evidence of the development of a “culture of curiosity” in the early modern period. If there was indeed a “rehabilitation of curiosity” in the early modern period, did it have any impact on women’s desire for knowledge? The emergence of women philosophers at the time (Margaret Cavendish, Anne Conway, Lady Ranelagh, Elisabeth of Bohemia, Catherine of Sweden, Damaris Masham, Catherine Trotter, etc.) may indicate that their curiosity was now considered as legitimate and morally acceptable – or at least that it was tolerated. Yet it has been suggested that the new status of curiosity in the early modern period led instead to an even stronger distrust for women, who were both prone to curiosity and curiosities themselves.
