This conference is co-organized by Brenton Hobart (The American University of Paris) and V茅ronique Montagne (Universit茅 C么te d鈥橝zur). Brenton Hobart's first book,听 鈥� published by Classiques Garnier in 2020 鈥� was awarded the prestigious for best book in the field of History of Philosophy.

Medical treatises, historical writings and literary narratives about the plague use a common linguistic register which repeated itself from Antiquity through Renaissance Europe and which persists in today鈥檚 popular and scholarly imagination of how we envision epidemic disease听鈥� Covid language and plague language are to a large degree one and the same. The truth concerning disease is thereby molded, if not skewed, by a preconceived discourse, which the writers of such truth are (or feel) forced to revisit: to prove knowledge of and move beyond past disease; to establish themselves as authoritative; likely, to learn how to transform ineffable horror into the art form that the printed word is. To prove encyclopedic knowledge, medical authorities revisited literary and historical perspectives; literary writers incorporated medical knowledge into their literature. The experiential (I sometimes witness X 鈥� factually based) is thus subjugated to the theoretical (I often read Y 鈥� rehashed time and again because some long past authority chanced to take note of it).

Discussions throughout this conference shall include the relative importance of theory, imitation, experience, and experimentation in treatises on the plague and in literature of the greater Renaissance, while considering them in light of the current global medical crisis. They shall also consider the opposition and exchanges between the humanist tradition and personal enquiry, i.e. the place of 鈥榟e鈥�, 鈥榮he鈥�, 鈥榦ne鈥� and 鈥業鈥� in these writings, together with the implied importance for empirical and subjective approaches, as well as the epistemological consequences of these choices by the authors of the treatises.

Most papers will be given in French. Questions and answers in French or English.
