2nd General Meeting & Management Committee Meeting
Preliminary Agenda for 2nd General Meeting
The city of Prague host PCPSCE’s first face to face general meeting. 75 people from 20 countries join for a pivotal meeting focused on building strong foundations for collaboration through face-to-face interactions.
While organizational discussions in the Working Groups and Management Meeting will take center stage, the research dimension remains essential, highlighted by three keynotes that reflect the diverse objectives of our specialized Working Groups:
- Matthew Grenby (Newcastle, UK): Small, Cheap and Boring: Children’s Instructional Print in Early Modern Europe
- Massimo Rospocher (Trento, IT): The Intermediality of the Early Modern Public Sphere
- Claire Madl & Michael Wögerbauer (Prague, CZ): Geographies of the Book: Mapping Networks, Softening Borders, Rethinking Capitals
To conclude, PCPSCE explores Prague’s literary treasures with an excursion to four iconic libraries:
- The Palace Library of the Counts of Nostic-Rieneck
- The Palace Library of the Aristocratic Family Kinsky
- Library of Strahov Monastery
- National Library Klementinum
