Let's Dance! Early Modern Diplomacy and French Festival Culture, 1572-1615 (book launch)

Time: 17:00 - 18:30
Categories: Public lectures

Speaker: Bram van Leuveren (Leiden University)

Bram van Leuveren explores how the late Valois and early Bourbon rulers of the kingdom of France made conscious use of festivals as a tool for diplomacy in a war-torn Europe, and how diplomatic stakeholders from across the continent participated in and responded to the theatrical and ceremonial events that featured at these festivals. Analysing a large body of multilingual eyewitness and commemorative accounts, as well as visual and material objects, Van Leuveren argues that French festival culture operated as a contested site where the diplomatic concerns of stakeholders from various national, religious, and social backgrounds fought for recognition.
