Court, City, Salon: Early Modern Paris—A Digital Humanities Approach

Court, city, salon: these are the spaces where notions of good taste and sound judgment, still crucial to French identity today, took root, and where the European Republic of Letters emerged. Students will explore the culture and literature of these milieus through the lens of digital humanities' methods and theories, combining study and praxis of such new approaches. The intersection of traditional scholarship with digital humanities applications will enable students to investigate if, and how, DH methods can broaden, confirm, disprove or reinterpret dominant analyses of the influential spaces of early modern Paris.
