SUMMARY:Talk: Missing Babies and Tacit Tolerance of Infanticide in Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:Aggressive criminal prosecution of unwed mothers who killed their newborns in early modern Europe (1550-1750) has led historians to assume that Europe was less tolerant of illegitimacy and infanticide than other pre-modern societies\, including China and Japan. New research throws this assumption into question. In early modern Geneva\, authorities often turned a blind eye to the untimely deaths and abandonment of unwanted bastards. These findings suggest that Europeans took a more practical approach to managing fertility than we had thought. \nSara Beam\, Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Victoria (Canada)\, is the author of numerous works on judicial violence\, including torture\, in early modern Europe\, with a special expertise on the city of Geneva. She is especially interested in the definition and prosecution of early modern “women’s” crimes\, including infanticide and adultery. She is completing a book manuscript on the decline of judicial torture in Europe from 1550-1750 and an edition and translation of a seventeenth-century infanticide trial. Her first book\, Laughing Matters: Farce and the Making of Absolutism in France (2007)\, won the Roland H. Bainton Prize for History. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of History\, Early Modern Center\, Department of French and Italian\, and the Hull Chair in Women’s Studies

SUMMARY:Talk: Lawyers and Legal Consciousness in Early Modern Europe: A Cultural History
DESCRIPTION:Michael P. Breen is the author of Law\, City\, and King: Legal Culture\, Municipal Politics and State Formation in Early Modern Dijon (2007) and numerous articles on lawyers and legal culture in early modern France. In this talk\, he will address the following question: “Historians have long believed that lawyers played a central role in the dissemination of legal knowledge and the ideal of the ‘rule of law’ in early modern Europe. Recent scholarship\, however\, has called this view into question\, emphasizing instead the ways ordinary men and women appropriated the law and its institutions for their own ends. This talk will reconsider the ways legal professionals helped mediate the development of early modern legal consciousness by examining their activities beyond the courtroom and the identities they fashioned for themselves not as legal experts\, but as intellectuals\, literary figures\, and political actors. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Department of History\, the Department of French and Italian\, and the Early Modern Center
