Call for papers
In Nicomachean Ethics and Politics, Aristotle conceived ethics and politics to be both
interrelated and exclusively male endeavors. This notion continued to be influential in
the early modern period (c.1500–1800). Yet in recent decades, feminist scholarship has
showed that throughout the early modern world numerous women nonetheless discussed,
developed, and chal- lenged politics and ethics in profound and often surprising ways.
The conference Early Modern Women on Politics and Ethics is organized by the Early Modern
Seminar and the research network Philosophy in Other Words, at the University of
Gothenburg, Sweden. It is dedicated to early modern women’s engagement with politics and
ethics as philosophers, authors, critics, translators, editors, artists, patrons,
salonnières, pamphleteers, political agents, letter writers, etcetera.
Multidisciplinary in scope, the conference will bring together scholars working in various
scientific fields. We especially wel- come contributions that concern underexplored
geographical contexts, languages, and traditions.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to
* Marginalized voices in politics and ethics
* Genres of political and ethical writing
* Representations of political and moral authority
* Subversive political and ethical thought
* Global perspectives on politics and ethics
* Public and private agency
* Material aspects of politics and ethics
* Reception and circulation of political and ethical thought • Ethics and politics of
sexuality
* Politics and ethics in religious contexts
Confirmed keynote speakers
