This distinction played a key role in the rise of practices of religious toleration. It has also recently come under att ack in Quebec public discourse.\n \n Arash Abizadeh聽(MPhil Oxford\, PhD Harv ard) is associate professor of political theory at 9I制作厂免费. His research focusses on democratic theory and questions of identity\, nationa lism\, and cosmopolitanism\; immigration and border control\; the relation between the passions\, rhetoric\, discourse\, and politics\; and seventee nth- and eighteenth-century philosophy\, particularly Hobbes and Rousseau. He is currently completing a book on Hobbes's ethics\, titled聽Hobbes and the Two Dimensions of Normativity.\n _________________\n 聽\n Experimental Pub lics - Matthew Hunter (Art History)\n \n In聽Leviathan and the Air-Pump聽(1985 )\, historians of science Steven Shapin and Simon Schaffer articulate an a ccount of the public formed by experimental philosophers in seventeenth-ce ntury England that has been widely influential in histories of scientific knowledge\, art\, and early modern culture. Interweaving a configuration o f politics with its epistemic commitments\, this model of the public was a lso menaced from within by the experimental movement鈥檚 leading figures. In this talk\, I consider how attention to the architecture of those shadowy counter-models compels us to think again about the place of visual images and experimental artifacts in public science.聽\n \n Matthew C. Hunter聽is As sistant Professor and Graduate Program Director in the Department of Art H istory and Communication Studies at 9I制作厂免费. His research focuse s on art and architecture of the long eighteenth century\, with special at tention to intersections among art\, science\, and technology.

An editor of聽Grey Room\, Hunter is currently wri ting a book on Joshua Reynolds鈥檚 experimental chemistry and the longer his tory of temporally evolving chemical objects in the British Enlightenment. \n _________________\n \n Interacting with Print - Andrew Piper聽(Language\, L iterature and Culture)\n \n This project aims to reorient our thinking about publics as stable spherical contexts and see them instead in more ecologi cal and interactive terms. Our goal is to understand the ways in which ind ividuals interacted with print media in the long eighteenth century\, prin t interacted with other media during this period\, and how these practices generated new social groupings. Our central question becomes something li ke: how does a particular configuration of different media become associat ed with historically specific practices to produce new kinds of social com munities?\n \n Andrew Piper聽is Associate Professor and William Dawson Schola r of German and European Literature and an associate member of the Departm ent of Art History and Communication Studies at 9I制作厂免费.

His work focuse s on the intersection of literature and technologies of reading from the e ighteenth century to the present and follows three main lines of inquiry: \n \n 鈥 the history of networks and literary topologies\;\n 鈥⒙爌ractices of te xtual circulation and transtextuality\;\n 鈥⒙爈iterary quantity (the nexus of image\, letter\, and number).\n \n His most recent book\,聽Book Was There: R eading in Electronic Times聽(Chicago\, 2012)\,聽addresses current debates ab out the future of reading through a study of the long history of our embod ied interactions with books.\n _________________\n \n Vermeer鈥檚 Public Sphere - Angela Vanhaelan (Art History)\n \n The visual culture of the seventeenth -century Dutch Republic conveys the impression that the Dutch were obsesse d with every minute aspect of home life. Paintings of women in domestic in teriors proliferated\, as artists like Johannes Vermeer turned middle-clas s domesticity into a new subject for art. Such imagery was unprecedented a nd there were no analogous visual traditions in the rest of Europe. While Vermeer鈥檚 peaceful paintings of the home seem far removed鈥攅ven protected鈥攆 rom the realm of politics and public life\, in this presentation\, I reass ess the obsessive picturing of private life by examining its potential to craft new notions of the public sphere.\n \n Angela Vanhaelen聽is Associate P rofessor in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McG ill.

In the 18thcentury\, scamels became a matter of public concern\ , their nature a subject for robust\, learned\, and good-humoured debate. The making public of Caliban鈥檚 scamels is exemplary of both the emergence of a distinctively literary public in the 18th聽century and also the growth of an enhanced public life for ordinary people that finds many of its ori gins in Shakespeare鈥檚 playhouse.\n \n Paul Yachnin聽is Tomlinson Professor of Shakespeare Studies and former Director of the Institute for the Public L ife of Arts and Ideas (IPLAI) at 9I制作厂免费.
