She is particularly interested in the role of women whose kin were exiled, and the help women could offer to them. Another topic she works on is the use of the law in favor of or against women, and the modifications of local laws (statutes or consuetudines) through the use of the so called ius commune, that includes the former civil and canon laws.

Her main source is the vast amount of letters Cuper exchanged and collected as antiquarian and politician in the Dutch Republic. Therefore, communication and Cuper’s role as a cultural intermediary will be central to her thesis.

Drawing especially on the criminal court records from Rome circa 1600, my research reconstructs the everyday social strategies, cultural negotiations, and self-representations of nonelite people, notably women, in an unusual early modern city.

Scorning jargon, championing artistry, I write playfully, not just for us scholars, telling good stories for readers' delight.

In 2004, he founded the Laboratoire de muséologie et d'ingénierie de la culture (LAMIC, laboratory for museology and engineering of culture), for which he has received funding of more than $3M from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI). This laboratory, which comprises nine senior researchers from various scientific fields, conducts experimental museology work focusing on the transmission of culture in a museum context. He is now a regular member of the Geomatics Research Centre at Université Laval. He has been working since last year to map out the theoretical terms of the research program, concentrating on LAMIC's principal theme, namely the transmission of culture in a museum context, examining it in terms of museality, that is the museumness of artefacts and ideas, both inside and outside of museums and, consequently, of museology itself.

Although it recognises that the usual explanations, based on the political conditions and opportunities as well as resources, are relevant, it argues that cultural elements also influenced this mobilisation. It thus wishes especially to draw attention to questions of meaning-making in this process.

As a cultural historian I am especially interested in how gender, sexuality, the body, and the senses are intertwined in a variety of social and cultural locations. In previous books I examined how gender and the body framed the French reception of Nietzsche’s philosophy, the social and political turmoil of the Dreyfus Affair, and the tensions between masculinity and modernity in the West. My current project is a cultural history of “fat” in the West, which I conceptualize in terms of visuality (bodies that appear large and/or differently shaped), tactility (bodies that feel/seem “soft” and “flabby”) and materiality (bodies that call to mind the ambiguous qualities of “fatty” or “oily” substances).

Maud Guichard-Marneur, University of Copenhagen, Denmark / EHESS, Paris, Paris

My PhD research is concerned with the museification of national historical narratives in Polish museums for the period 1980-2010, with a focus on Krakow. The aim is to assess potential changes, continuities and twists in the display of historical narratives in a country that has undergone rapid economic and political change. My work is not only concerned with historiography, rather it considers the museum space and display as both officializing historical discourses, and perhaps more importantly, imparting meaning beyond the text. The museum space, through combining text, objects and display design is reflecting its conceptualizers’ worldview as much as it is interacting with its visitors, themselves the objects of a particular national socialisation learned at school and in society. Maud Guichard-Marneur is a PhD researcher at the University of Copenhagen and was previously affiliated to the EHESS, Paris. She worked at English Heritage, London. Her research is concerned with the museification of national historical narratives in Polish museums for the period 1980-2010, focusing most particularly on Krakow. During the 2010-11 academic year she was a researcher in residence at the Institute of History, Jagiellonian University, Poland.

Cottage industry work gained a lot of attention in Finland since 1860s and was promoted especially at the turn of 19th and 20th century. After WWII the central organisation for cottage industry received state funding, but along the societal changes in the following decades interest towards cottage industry diminished.

Enric Mallorqui-Ruscalleda, Mississippi State University, USA

I am an Assisant Professor of Spanish Literature at Mississippi State University. I specialize in literatures and cultures of Medieval Iberia and early Modern Transatlantic Studies (Iberia and colonial Latin America). Currently my primary focus deals with different aspects of the cultural history of the sixteenth century on both sides of the Atlantic World. I work most closely, although not exclusively, with texts in Spanish, Latin and neo-Latin, Catalan, and Portuguese. Such a wide field involves a complexity of knowledge, different languages and cultures (such as the role of Latin and the vernacular; Christian, Jewish and Muslim inter-religious and inter-cultural debate; the transatlantic dimension of the Spanish Culture from 1492 onwards), and methodologies. As such, I have undertaken undergraduate, graduate and doctoral work in Medieval and early modern Hispanic studies, Medieval and early modern Latin philology, and Colonial Latin American history. I have also done work in transatlantic studies, comparative literature and cultural criticism, philosophical hermeneutics, Judaic and Islamic studies, paleography, diplomatics, sigillography, and textual criticism. As a result, my approach to the textualities of the historical periods in question combines the depth of the archive with the vertigo of theory, and tends to be strongly comparative, culturalist and interdisciplinary, as do my publications, conference papers, invited talks, and classes.

* Sandra Mols, Faculté d'Informatique and CITA, Facultés Universitaires Nore-Dame de la Paix, Namure, Belgium

For her PhD, Mols worked on practices of scientific computing, exploring how practices and uses of scientific computing allowed elaboration and warrenting of scientific knowledge, and led to the emergence of experts in taking care of errors occuring during computational processing of information. Case studies were focussed upon British cystallograhy in the 1950s. Since 2007, Mols has turned towards the history of computing in Belgium. She is working, eg, at the collection of oral histories of the constitution of basic repertoires of archives and information. Issues explored through this research are the circulation of expert know-how in electronic computing between the Anglo-Saxon world and continental Europe, circulation that is deconstructed from a standpoint focused in material and expert cultures.

Philosophe et je me suis tournée vers l'histoire des idées éducatives à la suite de mon experience de formation des maîtres. Plus largement, mon interrogation concerne ce que Egle Becchi a nommé les « savoirs de l'enfance »; l'orientation de mes recherches vise à relativiser l' "enfant" comme objet de connaissance et de pratiques intitutionnelles, pour penser l'évolution de son statut entant qu'élement solidaire d'autres aspects de la culture. Ma thèse portait sur la généalogie de la psychologie de l'enfant et son influence sur les idéaux pédagogiques du XXe siècle (De Darwin à Piaget, CNRS éditons, 2001). Je suis membre de l'Association pour le Développement de l'Histoire Culturelle (ADHC), du Conseil d'administration de la Société Française pour l'histoire des Sciences de l'Homme (SFHSH). Ce cadre permet de placer les questions d'éducation et l'histoire de la pédagogie dans l'histoire des sciences humaines, de penser leur genèse de façon transdisciplinaire. A Paris 8  mes recherches portent sur la sociohistoire de l'éducation, et dans ce cadre j'ai coordonné L'Education nouvelle, histoire, présence et devenir, Annick Ohayon et Antoine Savoye, Bern, Peter Lang. L'histoire des idées éducatives est aussi présente dans la  Bibliothèque philosophique de l'éducation de l'INRP, que je codirige avec François Jacquet-Francillon et Marie-Claude Blais.

My interest in how we remember and care for our dead has evolved from a genealogical interest to a focussed academic study is inspired by a commemorative newspaper article of my footballer ancestor- Duncan Edwards (an England and Manchester United footballer who died as a result of injuries sustained in the Munich Air Disaster). I cut and have kept this for over twenty five years .  As a trained artist and designer I have worked across a number of creative disciplines and I continue to exhibit and work as an artist. My art practice informs, and is informed, by my academic research- at junctures coming together on a commemorative theme.

Joris van Eijnatten, Since 2009 I teach at Utrecht University, where I hold the Chair for Chultural History. My research can be situated in three overlapping domains: the history of media and communication, religious history, and the history of ideas. Much of my earlier work was in the field of early modern intellectual history. I addressed such topics as liberty and toleration, the freedom of the press and the pursuit of religious unity. Another theme has been the inimitable Dutch poet and thinker Willem Bilderdijk (1756-1831). In recent years I have developed an interest in the history of media, communication and information, as well as the social scientific methods used in this broad and exciting field. I am now writing an overview of the history of media and communication called 'From Village Square to Cyberspace'. I am especially interested in historical representation of audiences, and in such topics as audience participation and reception, in the period between 1700 and 2000.
