Conference Presentations by Ewelina Sikora
In the introduction to the influential collection of articles "The Transmission of Culture in Ear... more In the introduction to the influential collection of articles "The Transmission of Culture in Early Modern Europe" (1990), Anthony Grafton posited that ‘transmission will never replace creation in the historian’s romantic heart.’ However, the rapid rise of post-colonial and global history has put this tenet in question. The concept of transmission has recently been applied by many contemporary historians to consider the fluidity of early modern culture. Sanjay Subrahmanyam’s Connected Histories: Notes Towards a Reconfiguration of Early Modern Eurasia (1997) made apparent the global dimension of early modern cultural interconnections. Recently, Zoltán Biedermann, while reflecting on Subrahmanyam’s work, embraced the concept of ‘connected histories’ but also reminded us that global disconnections exist and need to be discussed. According to Biedermann, the major task of current global historians is to investigate how the early modern world was connected and how it was disconnected and why.
With this in mind, the proposed conference sets out to examine social infrastructures and transfer mechanisms in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between 1569 and 1795. A key concept for the conference is Giovanna Brogi Bercoff’s ‘polymorphism,’ or the multilayeredness, variability, and susceptibility of cultures to assimilative influences from the outside. The conference examines Polish-Lithuanian culture from the perspective of fluid communicative networks that linked the Commonwealth to the global world. It considers the adaptivity of external innovations to local needs and the exportation of local innovations beyond the borders of the Commonwealth. We invite submissions that will problematize the means, configurations, parameters, and limitations of cultural transmission that played out within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
