Image shows a poster for the conference, listing Lunds universitet, Australian Catholic University, and the University of Plymouth as research partners. Next to a logo for Vetenskapsrådet is the statement "Moved Apart is financed by a Research Environment Grant from the Swedish Research Council". The background image for the poster is an etching by Willem Basse from 1632-34 titled "Afscheid en terugkeer op de kust". It shows people standing on a shore watching departing boats. The poster includes the following text (truncated to meet character limit): Moved Apart studies how separation was communicated in East Asia and Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. ... This conference seeks proposals that contribute to further our knowledge of how separation was communicated in different parts of the world (Africa, America, Asia, Europe) in the 16th and 17th centuries. We particularly encourage submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following themes: * Life Stages. How did life stages shape experience of separation as a fundamental part of everyday life, as people grew up, left home, relocated, found themselves and navigated their place within the world, and in turn how did separations shape premodern experience of life stages? * Time and Space. How was separation experienced through spatial, geographic and temporal forms of perceived distance and in turn how did separation shape the perceptions and realities of space, time, and geography? * Letters. How was separation shaped by letters, particularly their rhetorical and material dimensions, and in turn how did separation shape epistolary and postal practices? We invite scholars interested in presenting their research at the conference to send a 300-word abstract to project assistance Cecilia Lundström at cecilia.lundstrom@hist.lu.se The deadline for submitting a proposal is 3 March 2025 and you will be notified of the results by the end of March 2025.
