Call for Papers | Women and Music in Early Modern Age

02-04.07.2021 | Queluz National Palace
 
The 9th international conference at the Queluz National Palace organized by DS-CEMSP aims to investigate the role of women in the musical and theatrical worlds of the early modern age, with special reference to the 17th and 18th centuries. Theatrical practices favoured opportunities and emancipation processes which played significant roles in the imagery of and the stage production themselves. It is equally important to mention the patronage and the encouragement given to the performing arts by female sovereigns and nobles, who intended to promote the dialogue and the reflection between different contexts. Differences can be found in the educational methods, distinctions amid theory and practice or between the amateur and the professional milieu, yet they often merged to produce events destined to leave their mark on history. The conference promotes research into the careers of women as impresarios, singers, actresses, composers, no matter how resounding their activity was in their heydays. Emphasis is also placed on their travels, contacts, and repertoires, and on the strategies adopted by female patronage in order to support the organization (and the memory) of theatrical and musical events throughout the continent.
 
Topics:
  • Female performers: singers, instrumentalists, dancers and impresarios. Their roles and repertoires.
  • Female composers, librettists and choreographers.
  • The feminine in music: women as subjects in the musical literature.
  • Women as music and theatre patrons. Political uses of female musical patronage.
  • The importance of music in the education of aristocratic and royal women.
  • The female public.
  • Women as music collectors.
  • Women and music sociabilities.
