JVF Conference Papers
The 34th Junior Fellows’ Conference, held in December of 2014, engaged with the Enlightenment and the contested legacies of modernity. Papers took two different routes into this topic.
One group of papers returned to the threshold of modernity in the eighteenth century and sought to rethink the history of eighteenth century debates.
A second group of papers turned to the contested contemporary legacies of the Enlightenment in the form of key modern concepts and questions such as history, memory, secularization, and critique.
