DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Göran Rydén (Uppsala University)\, Andreas Hellers
 tedt (Stockholm University)\, Mikael Alm (Uppsala University)\n\nIn recent
  historiographical developments\, two major themes have emerged\, that on 
 ‘Practices’ and that on ‘Performances’. The purpose of this confer
 ence is to bring these together\, and relate them to historical change: ho
 w did practices and performances change over time\, and how were they invo
 lved in making change happen? Pre-modern societies must be studied in orde
 r to uncover long-term change. In short\, history must not be viewed backw
 ards\, from a modern perspective\, but forwards\, from a pre-modern perspe
 ctive. In addition\, the concepts of practices and performances need clari
 fication. What do they signify? Could there be performance without practic
 e\, or should practice be understood as the larger concept\, performances 
 as a sub-set of practices? The conference has its beginning in the recent 
 initiative taken by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ) on ‘Research on pre-m
 odernity’\, and it aims to bring scholars from this initiative in contac
 t with international scholars within similar fields. The conference is mad
 e possible by funding from RJ.\n\nhttps://indico.uu.se/event/113/
