COMING NEXT – JNR 14 & 15
A JNR first! ‘Dance of the Northern Renaissance’, edited by Lynsey McCulloch and Emily Winerock, is our very first special issue dedicated to dance. Situating dance as a key cultural practice of the early modern period, this issue asks two important and related questions. How might we characterise Northern European dance? And how can we challenge the domination of French, Spanish and Italian traditions within dance history?

Based on the hugely successful 2021 Warburg Institute conference, ‘Emotional Objects: Northern Renaissance Afterlives in Object, Image and Word, 1890s–1920s’, our next special issue is edited by Gabriele Rippl and Juliet Simpson and brings together a talented and diverse group of scholars. Looking at the legacy of the Northern Renaissance, this issue examines the fascinating relationship between early modern visual, material and literary practices and the cultural modernities of the early twentieth century.

ABOUT JNR
JNR is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the study of the full variety of early modern Northern European cultural practices. We place a special emphasis upon questioning the derivation of our inherited paradigms and upon exploring alternative conceptualisations, geographies and periodisations of the Renaissance.

As a member of the Radical Open Access Collective, JNR is committed to providing genuinely open access scholarship while upholding rigorous academic standards. This means that while all articles in JNR are double-blind peer-reviewed (see Information), authors do not pay to publish with us, and readers do not pay to read or download articles or reviews (no hidden fees, no article processing charges). Everything we publish is free to access immediately from the date of publication, and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivs 3.0 Unported License.
