This international and transdisciplinary network brings together four nodes to explore the theme of gender, power and materiality in early modern Europe. Its establishment is timely, developing from two international conferences on gender and politics in early modern Europe organised by the PI and CI since 2008. From these events emerged a group of scholars with shared interests in letters, gender and political culture, which expanded into materiality, specifically as it relates to early modern archives and gift-giving. In this context, the network studies relationships between gender, power and materiality, defined both in terms of physical objects or material texts and the social and cultural practices, and spaces in which they were produced, consumed, exchanged and displayed. It focusses on different forms of elite power across the early modern period in Europe, and encompasses formal and cultural power.Influenced by the 'material turn', the network considers objects as social agents, analysing the gendered power embedded within physical artefacts and the social practices of production, consumption and exchange, especially in relation to early modern practices and modern theories of gift-giving. It questions how far materiality made gender positions stable and unstable; and studies objects to reconstruct new networks and gendered forms of power created around object exchange and production. Secondly, it considers archives as a form of gendered power, and spaces (e.g. noble households, courts, libraries) in which material objects were located, and their connection with the politics of memory, gift-giving and display. The newness of this approach lies both in viewing power and materiality through the lens of gender, and the application of diverse approaches bringing into dialogue historians, literary critics, material culture specialists, anthropologists, archaeologists (who bring an understanding of objects and theory), and curators, archivists and conservators. Furthermore, the network prompts an important process of recovery of a range of physical objects across Europe (eg jewels, books and other gifts) which will be considered alongside documents like letters, inventories and accounts. The link with the 'Women's Early Modern Letters Online' project facilitates integrated exploration of material and written texts, and hosting by the Bodleian ensures digital sustainability. Importantly, the network brings together international scholars working on different contexts, who specialise on various UK and non-UK records (Scandinavian, Dutch, French and German), and bring together different historiographies, historical traditions and palaeographical skills. Proceedings will be in English, but in different European settings, allowing access to work ordinarily only available in different languages.The network plans three workshops (in Lund, Sweden; Leiden, The Netherlands; and Perth, Australia) and a conference in Plymouth. The first stage is a workshop 'Gender, Power and Theories of Materiality in Early Modern Europe' to investigate underpinning methodologies. The second stage will be an opening 'state-of-the-field' international conference ('Gender, Power and Materiality in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1800'), which will be an open call for papers to allow for the possibility of expanding the network over a range of disciplines and geographical areas. The third stage will be a symposium on 'Gender and the Politics of Early Modern Archives/Spaces'; while the fourth stage will be a capstone workshop on 'Gender, Emotions and the Dynamics of Early Modern Gift-Exchange'. The network will produce a jointly-authored journal article, an edited collection, and a special edition of a journal on 'Archives and Spaces'. The network website will be developed at the outset of the project, and utilised over the two years and beyond as a mechanism of digital scholarly sociability, to publicise events and research, and host an online exhibition.

这个国际和跨学科的网络汇集了四个节点，探索现代早期欧洲的性别，权力和物质主题。它的成立是及时的，是由PI和CI自2008年以来组织的两场关于近代早期欧洲性别与政治的国际会议发展而来的。从这些事件中出现了一群学者，他们对信件、性别和政治文化有共同的兴趣，并扩展到物质性，特别是与早期现代档案和送礼有关。在这种背景下，网络研究性别、权力和物质性之间的关系，这些关系既定义为物理对象或物质文本，也定义为社会和文化实践，以及它们被生产、消费、交换和展示的空间。它关注的是欧洲近代早期不同形式的精英权力，包括形式权力和文化权力。受“物质转向”的影响，网络将对象视为社会代理人，分析嵌入在物理人工制品和生产、消费和交换的社会实践中的性别权力，特别是与早期现代实践和现代送礼理论有关。它质疑物质在多大程度上使性别地位稳定和不稳定；并研究对象重建新的网络和性别形式的权力创造围绕对象交换和生产。其次，它将档案视为一种性别权力形式，以及物质对象所在的空间（例如贵族家庭，法院，图书馆），以及它们与记忆，礼物赠送和展示的政治联系。这种方法的新颖之处在于，它通过性别的视角来看待权力和物质性，并运用多种方法，将历史学家、文学评论家、物质文化专家、人类学家、考古学家（他们带来了对物体和理论的理解）、策展人、档案保管员和保护人员引入对话。此外，该网络还推动了欧洲范围内一系列实物（如珠宝、书籍和其他礼物）的重要恢复过程，这些实物将与信件、库存和账目等文件一起被考虑。与“女性早期现代信件在线”项目的联系促进了材料和书面文本的综合探索，并且由博德利大学主持确保了数字的可持续性。重要的是，该网络汇集了研究不同背景的国际学者，他们专门研究各种英国和非英国记录（斯堪的纳维亚、荷兰、法国和德国），并汇集了不同的历史编纂、历史传统和古地理技能。会议记录将以英文进行，但将在不同的欧洲环境中进行，从而允许访问通常只以不同语言提供的工作。该网络计划举办三个讲习班（在瑞典隆德、荷兰莱顿和澳大利亚珀斯），并在普利茅斯举行一次会议。第一阶段是研讨会“早期现代欧洲的性别、权力和物质性理论”，以调查基础方法。第二阶段将是一个开放的“领域内”国际会议（“性别、权力和物质在早期现代欧洲，1500-1800年”），这将是一个公开的论文征集，以允许在一系列学科和地理区域扩大网络的可能性。第三阶段为“早期现代档案/空间的性别与政治”专题讨论会；而第四阶段将是一个关于“性别、情感和早期现代礼物交换的动态”的顶点研讨会。该网络将制作一篇联合撰写的期刊文章、一份编辑的文集和一份关于“档案与空间”的期刊特别版。该网络网站将在项目开始时开发，并在两年或更长时间内用作数字学术社交机制，宣传活动和研究，并举办在线展览。
