Kings & Queens 13 Conference: Gift Giving and Communications Networks
Paris (France), Royal Studies Network and the American University of Paris (hybrid)
The conference programme will reflect on how theater, fashion, churches and residences, hospitals, pilgrimage sites, artworks, books, epistles, and charitable actions respond to and shape dynastic politics, religion, commerce, diplomacy, culture. When connections break down, “gift-trouble” becomes a subsidiary theme. Gifts can generate social conflict, at times provoking iconoclasm and destruction; unwelcome “gifts” (including epidemics and contagious infections) might also be received.
