“Feminist Enlightenment and Politics in Eighteenth-Century Europe”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

International Conference, Monte Verit\u00e0 (Ascona), 25.-28. June 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference addresses the relationship between a feminist Enlightenment and the forms political action took within a European context. It explores whether and how women\u2019s political identities were formulated and even implemented by men, or by women themselves. It also concentrates on the circulation of these ideas in the global eighteenth century and how Enlightenment discourse on gender and politics contributed to or opposed the colonial project and theories of race. Papers investigate how class, age, race, and religion intersected with the question of gender and politics. The conference brings together scholars from the fields of eighteenth-century literature, history, legal studies, women\u2019s studies, political theory, and philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWomen, the Law and Women\u2019s Rights\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

International Conference at the University of Zurich, 1.-3. September 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This international conference is dedicated to the relationship between law and gender in the sciences and arts, but also in the social and state reality of the eighteenth century. It traces the development of debates and legal situations as well as the interactions between the history of ideas and historical reality, and their critical or affirmative reflections in literature and art. In doing so it raises the fundamental question of women’s legal capacity and their possible participation in the human rights, formulated for the first time in the Enlightenment, and discusses the answers provided in the realms of eighteenth-century philosophy, sciences, arts and legal practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Feminist Enlightenment across Europe\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

International Conference at the University of W\u00fcrzburg, 5.-7. July 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference explores the central role of women in the project of the European enlightenment. Far from posing merely as the object of moral, didactic or medical writings, learned women entered into a critical dialogue with Enlightenment thinkers and their positions. The conference aims at reconstructing the transnational networks of the feminist Enlightenment as well as at establishing the philosophical, religious, political and literary conditions which shaped it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
