EARLY EUROPEAN PUPPETRY STUDIES CONFERENCE

13-14 OCTOBER 2023

YALE UNIVERSITY, NEW HAVEN, CT

Join us at Yale University on October 13-14 for an interdisciplinary conference to launch the field of Early European Puppetry Studies. Scholars from across North America and Europe will explore a wide range of performing objects to locate fruitful avenues for using puppetry as a framework to analyze art, literature, culture, and performance traditions in late medieval and early modern Europe. Sessions include puppetry's intersection with children, dolls, transgression, death and violence, bodies and materiality, articulated Christ sculptures, records and reconstructions, and cover various regions including England, Spain, the Mediterranean, and more.
