SUMMARY:The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:An interdisciplinary conference exploring the place of the Netherlands and its culture in the later 16th and 17th centuries as it began to exert influence across the globe and as it acted as a distinctive conduit for the transmission of American\, African and Asian elements back into Europe.  Papers will discuss political\, social\, colonial\, religious and intellectual history\, press history and censorship\, poetry\, drama\, visual art\, international law\, travel\, philosophy\, and diplomacy. \nThe conference will feature mostly experts from the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe\, an unusual event in the US outside of a major international convention; we hope that it will be an attractive gathering for those interested living and working in the New York and mid-Atlantic region. \nThe website will be regularly updated in the forthcoming weeks: schedule\, paper titles\, abstracts and further information will be available in due course. \nFor further information please contact Nigel Smith (nsmith@princeton.edu) or Melissa Andrie (mandrie@princeton.edu). \nDATE: FEBRUARY 24 – 26 \nTHERE WILL BE A SERIES OF 5 ZOOM SESSIONS SCHEDULED AS FOLLOWS. \n\nTHURSDAY FEBRUARY 24\, 2022 11.45AM – 1.30PM (EST)\nFRIDAY FEBRUARY 25\, 2022 9.45AM – 11.30AM (EST)\nFRIDAY FEBRUARY 25\, 2022 11.45AM – 1.30PM (EST)\nSATURDAY FEBRUARY 26\, 2022 9.45AM – 11.30AM (EST)\nSATURDAY FEBRUARY 26\, 2022 11.45AM – 1.30PM (EST)\n\nLOCATION: PRINCETON UNIVERSITY VIRTUAL EVENT VIA ZOOM \nADMISSION: FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nREGISTER: HTTPS://ENGLISH.PRINCETON.EDU/EVENTS/NETHERLANDS-CULTURE-AND-GLOBAL-HISTORY-1500-1700

SUMMARY:Environment and Observation in the Dutch Golden Age
DESCRIPTION:This workshop features talks by: \nAnne Goldgar\,  “Observation in Early Dutch Arctic Exploration” \nThis paper uses several cases of Dutch arctic exploration in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries to consider the role of observation both in commercial and navigational spheres\, but also in the management of emotion by explorers. \nGoldgar has been Garrett and Anne Van Hunnick Professor of European History at USC since June 2020. Before that\, she had taught at King’s College London\, where she was Professor of Early Modern History\, since 1993. She is the author of various works on the intersection of scholarship\, material culture\, history of science\, and art history\, including her most recent monograph\, Tulipmania: Money\, Honor\, and Knowledge in the Dutch Golden Age (Chicago). Her paper is part of an ongoing project on Dutch identity and the memory of the Nova Zembla expedition of 1596-7. \nEmmanuel Kreike\,  “Tinsel Republic? Climate and War in the Dutch Golden Age” \nIn a 17th century\, mired by crises\, the Dutch Republic celebrated its Golden Age. Such prominent historians\, Jan De Vries and Geoffrey Parker have emphasized that The Dutch Republic was unique in bucking the European and global trend.  Dagomar De Groot argued in his 2018 The Frigid Golden Age that Dutch ingenuity made its society and economy highly resilient to the storms and icy winters brought about by the Little Ice Age\, allowing it to not only win its independence from the mighty Habsburg Empire and defeat its English rival\, but to dominate commerce and exploration across the Seven Seas. Yet throughout much of the era\, the Dutch Republic was engaged in war and the countryside of the heartland of the Republic\, the Province of Holland continued to suffer from long-term land losses and agricultural involution caused by the late 16th century inundations and scorched earth tactics that marked the Dutch Revolt. To what extent was the Gold of the Dutch Golden Age perhaps tinsel thin and Dutch 17th century exceptionalism a myth? \nKreike teaches African\, Global Environmental and Digital/Spatial History at Princeton University. His current research focuses on the War-Environment-Society nexus and his latest book Scorched Earth: Environmental Warfare as a Crime against Humanity and Nature (Princeton University Press 2021) is the first volume in the Environcide Trilogy. Scorched Earth highlights environmental warfare in conventional conflict from the early 16th to the early 20th centuries. \nPlease register to receive the Zoom link here

SUMMARY:Why did Pierre Bayle believe in Virtuous Atheists? A Critique of Pure Reason "avant la lettre"
DESCRIPTION:“Pierre Bayle’s claims about the possibility of a society of virtuous atheists are one of the most famous ideas produced in Europe in the decades around 1700. More generally\, Bayle’s intentions have been the subject of profound historiographical debate\, even generating the idea of an insoluble ‘Bayle Enigma’. This talk will give a completely new account of Bayle’s thought\, based on a reading and contextualisation of everything he ever wrote. His ideas were not the product of a clandestine irreligion; nor can they be reduced to any kind of Calvinist ‘fideism’. Rather\, they are best seen as just one product of a wider\, long-term shift in European attitudes towards the nature of knowledge and the capabilities of the human mind. That shift was itself the result of a transformation in conceptions of the capacities of a perfectly rational human which can be traced back to the sixteenth century\, and which stemmed from shifts in theological and philosophical method\, philological scholarship\, and new knowledge of non-European societies (especially Asian). Far from ushering in an Age of Reason\, the period saw the development of a distinctively early modern Critique of Pure Reason.” \nDmitri Levitin is a Research Fellow at All Souls College\, Oxford. He works on the history of knowledge between 1500 and 1850. In 2016\, he was awarded inaugural Leszek Kołakowski Prize in intellectual history. His next book\, The Kingdom of Darkness: Bayle\, Newton\, and the Emancipation of the European Mind from Philosophy will be published by Cambridge University Press later this year. \nThe talk will be chaired by Rhodri Lewis\, Department of English. \nPlease register here for the Zoom link.
