CFP: Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras

The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences”, is currently seeking paper submissions. The conference will be held at Université de Lausanne from 22 to 24 April 2026.

This conference will examine confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. At the same time, it seeks to reflect on methodological questions pertaining to material history as an approach and to the sources that underpin it.
