Dis/ability: The Complex Search for Voices in the Pre-Modern Era Public Disability History is a blog journal and a forum for exchange between the diverse actors involved and invested in issues regarding disability.

Dear #skystorians, do you sometimes struggle to bring those historical voices that were silenced and unheard until now to life? I've been ruminating on #earlymodern voices and #disability history. You can read more here:

Pinnwand mit Antworten der Besucher*innen des hist4dem-Standes am ersten Tag des Historikertages 2025

Was uns sorgt: u.a. schrumpfende Studizahlen in den Geschichtswissenschaften und wenig Bereitschaft zu echter Debatte.
Was uns Mut macht: Engagierte Kinder und Jugendliche und gesellschaftliches Engagement!
Danke für Eure rege Diskussion zu unserer Tagesfrage! ❤️
Morgen geht’s weiter #Historikertag

I've updated #EarlyModern Resources earlymodernweb.org/resources/ Quite a few new links but also a big overhaul of the site to be more usable + a visual refresh.

(If you can't see a change, you may need to clear your browser cache and refresh hard. 😬)

The exterior of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich: statue, trees, 19th century building in the style of historicism.

Angels winning over hell (Italy, 17th century). Highly delicate sculpted out of ivory.

A pair of amusing porcelain figurines, each depicting a noblewoman and a nobleman (17th century).

White and gold room of a German aristocratic family with paintings and furniture: the so-called “Landshut Room” (first half of the 18th century). Landshut is a town in Bavaria.

Spontaneous visit to the Bavarian National Museum in Munich: great exhibits! I was so impressed that I didn't manage to see all the objects before the museum closed its doors. I'll be back! 🥳

Der @akgwds.bsky.social hat jetzt auch ganz offiziell eine eigene Website als Verein! 🥳

Unser Verein zählt außerdem bereits über 60 Mitglieder! Ihr wollt auch mitmachen? 🥳Anmeldung hier: akgwds.de/mitglied-wer...

If accusations of any "bias in classrooms" are true, it's a result of the epistemological ways that we establish truth. This thread does a good job explaining why so-called "viewpoint diversity" is actually an attack on truth by those that simply don't like the truth our methodologies lead us to.

There was an interesting question I saw from someone recently that was asking why there are no historians writing "for the other side." Essentially, why are there no "pro-Trump Heather Cox Richardsons?" The answer lies in our training.

Très heureux de vous annoncer le retour d'une programmation Recherche et Jeux Vidéo au prochain Rendez-Vous de l'Histoire de Blois.

Le vendredi 10 octobre, j'organise en effet une demi-journée d'étude "La France et les jeux vidéo" en partenariat avec l' @aphg.bsky.social.

The MGH have reinstated a Dokumentlieferdienst, or reprography service, and I'm advertising it on their behalf. If don't have access to a german library, you can order PDFs of rare papers and books, directly from their online catalogue. Example below!

Es war eh mal wieder Zeit, bei der bpb was zu bestellen. Sehr cool!

Call for papers for the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, taking place at the University of Exeter on 30-31 October. We are exploring early modern conflict in all its forms. We particularly seek to unpack the interactions between the more traditional aspects of conflict, such as the political, tactical and strategic, with the more human side of it, including sociocultural approaches that explore experiences, representations and impacts of violence. As such, we particularly welcome proposals that look beyond purely military history and break chronological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. We welcome proposals for individual papers of up to 20 minutes, or full panels of three to four papers, on any aspect of conflict, war and violence in the early modern period. Speakers might consider, but are not limited to, the following themes: Physical, tactical, operational and strategic aspects of warfare. Martial identities, values and motivations. Notions of gender, race, class and religion. Remembering, (re)imagining and representing violence and/or conflict. The experience of violence, its impact and the everyday at war. Popular allegiance in early modern conflict. Maritime violence and naval warfare. The bureaucracy of conflict, finance and the law. Abstracts of up to 300 words, along with a biographical note, should be sent to earlymodernwar@gmail.com by Friday 5th September.

We are thrilled to announce that the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, with a keynote address by Professor Mark Stoyle, will be held on 30-31 October at the University of Exeter.

Please help us spread the world, and consider submitting a proposal!🗡️

Great video! ❤️

A man sitting at a writing desk around 1700, doing his correspondence. This is the interior view of the Cabinet de l'Amour, in the Paris based Hôtel Lambert: a room with walls covered with paintings. Etching titled "Veüe de l'intérieur du cabinet de l'Amour" (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/image/315127001 ).

A social media echo chamber around 1700. The man sitting at a writing desk, positioned in a luxury room, is silently writing a letter, surrounded by a quill, an ink pot, old letters, and with sheets of fresh papers waiting for future usages. Next media echoes to arrive in his TL - not so soon.
