Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Le théâtre de la mort. Funérailles nobiliaires avec musique dans l’Europe de l’Ancien Régime », en ligne, 11-13 avril 2025.

« The Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini, the Conservatorio ‘Nino Rota’, Monopoli, and the Université de Versailles-Saint-Quentin are pleased to invite submissions of proposals for the symposium  »The Theatre of Death: Noble Funerals with Music in Early Modern Europe, » to be held from 11 to 13 April 2025. The public nature of the funerals of noble elites was a new phenomenon in Early Modern Europe: one, indeed, that was both closely linked to the birth and development of public opinion as well as to the transformation in how European urban spaces were used. In effect, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries witnessed the deployment of sophisticated solemn devices in conjunction with the performance and representation of rituals. […] By combining a comprehensive methodology with a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach — one that encompasses social history, the cultural history of art, urban musicology, and historical anthropology — the present conference aims to explore the long history of funerary cultural practices designed to assert and perpetuate power. »
