DESCRIPTION:As we prepare to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's \; posting of his 95 theses in October 1517\, it may be us eful to pause for a moment and consider two important questions: first\, how were the historical and cultural events of the late fifteenth and v ery early sixteenth century defining the European world that would soon break apart along sectarian lines\, and\, second\, how did writers\, thi nkers\, and artists later in the century look back at that earlier world and culture. The years immediately preceding 1517 were \; richly ma rked by events/works that were to have a lasting impact on their times. In 1516\, for example\, the fifteen-year-old Charles von Habsburg was cr owned king of Spain\, Thomas More published his \;Utopia\, Erasmus h is Novum Testamentum and Ariosto his Orlando furioso\, \;and the Ven etians established the Ghetto. The previous year\, 1515\, \; the&nbs p\;twenty-year-old Francis I was crowned king of France\, Thomas Wolsey was \;named cardinal and then Chancellor of England\, Martin Luther began to \;lecture on Paul's Letter to the Romans\, Johannes Reuchli n established the \;first university chair of Greek in Germany\, whi le across the ocean the \;Spaniard Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar foun ded the city of Havana. How did \;people later in the sixteenth cent ury and early in the next see these \;events? How\, for example\, di d Shakespeare see and depict pre-Reformation \;England in some of hi s historical plays? How did Montaigne\, or Cervantes\, \;or Caravagg io\, or Monteverdi see the world before the Reformation?\n\n\n\nThis int erdisciplinary conference seeks\, therefore\, to take the \;pulse of European history and culture in two different ways: from our \;pers pective as early twenty-first-century scholars and from the perspective& nbsp\;of late-sixteenth/early-seventeenth-century writers and artists. I n so \;doing\, the conferences seeks to cast its eyes on \; both the Old World and \;the New\, \; Europe as well as in its Afric an and Asian extensions\, history as \;well as the arts\, society as well as events.\n\n\n\nFor further information on the conference\, plea se contact the organizers\, Prof. Elizabeth Cohen (ecohen@yorku.ca) and& nbsp\;Prof. Konrad Eisenbichler (konrad.eisenbichler@utoronto.ca). \ ;For further information on the TRRC\, please visit its web site at:http ://www.itergateway.org/trrc/ URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.italianartsociety.org/events/on-the-eve-of-ref ormation-the-view-from-then-and-now/ UID:urn:uuid:13039338-8130-4bf7-ab64-648a67ad1228 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260504T202221Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161021 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161022 LOCATION:Victoria College\, University of Toronto\, Canada END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
