>Proposed session(s) for the Renaissance Society of America 
>Conference in Miami,
>
>March 22-24, 2007, on: Court Space / Common Space
>
>In 1974, French cultural historian, Henri Lefebvre, published his 
>Production de l'espace, in which he called for investigations into 
>the "cultural construction of space" through everyday social, 
>political, and economic life. Cultural and political historians have 
>recently begun to do this in a number of specific contexts, 
>including investigations of royal palaces and courts, and of urban 
>spaces and rituals. But not enough work has been done on how the 
>construction of space by court elites related to the spatial 
>dimensions of popular and public life.
>
>This session or sessions, co-sponsored by the Court Society of North 
>America and the Renaissance Conference of Southern California, 
>solicits abstracts for 20 minute papers in history, literature, art 
>and architectural history; papers should address comparative issues 
>of "court space" and "common space" in mutual interrelation, and 
>perhaps deconstruct the separation of "high" and "low culture" 
>relating to the city, countryside, and realm.
>
>The RSA website states a chronology of ca.1350-1650, with global implications.

>Send abstracts by e-mail to Malcolm Smuts (Malcolm.Smuts at umb.edu), 
>History, University of Massachusetts, Boston; George Gorse 
>(ggorse at pomona.edu), Art History, Pomona College; and Lloyd Kermode 
>(lKermode at csulb.edu), English, California State University, Long 
>Beach by May 19, 2006.
