Health and Society in Early Modern Europe
Call for papers
Stockholm University, 10 June 2020
Notions and practices relating to health are integral to any society. They determine not only how the body is treated when ill or injured, but also shape ideals and practices relating to wide-ranging issues such as war, city planning, the preparation of food and sexual behaviour. In early modern Europe, health was a concept informed by religious norms, medical discourses and lay practices. Crucially, it was historically situated and underwent significant change in the period between the late middle ages and the modern era.
