EMODIR is now preparing for the upcoming RSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia (March 11–13, 2027), and plans to host a series of panels which explore the theme of boundary marking and transgression.
The early modern can be defined as a time of increased boundary-crossing and trespassing across physical, social, and religious lines. The period has been characterized as a time of refugee crisis, migration, and the redefinition of social categories and the limits of the possible in regard to personal and group identity. This year, EMoDiR is especially interested in contributions that both define and expand our views of boundary-crossing and transgression, from geographical and metaphorical perspectives (including imagined spaces and utopias).
