This makes Holm an excellent choice for our #handbook-article on early modern diplomacy and language. (5/8)

For the #handbook Mazargalli examines #earlymodern consuls as diplomatic actors, a topic on which she has published extensivly. (3/6)

It’s time to introduce another #handbook article and its author. Sivlia Mazargalli is professor Early Modern History at the University of Côte d’Azur and co-coordinator of the fascinating project "Atlantic Italies. Economic and Cultural Entanglements"

We talk a lot about non-male diplomatic actors in #emdiplomacy and of course there will be an #handbook article on women and #emdiplomacy.

We are very happy to have non other then Carolyn James as an author on this. James is an absolute expert on #women and #diplomacy having edited one of the first essay collections on the topic which still is standard.

Moreover, she has written on Renaissance women and the history of emotions:

Our 2024 #emdiplomacy #AdventCalendar offered some glimpses into different #emdiplomats careers by introducing different diplomatic actors.
The #handbook takes a different approach by offering some generalizations. Our authors Sven Externbrink and Magnus Ferber take a closer look on the career paths of #emdiplomats as well as their social, national and educational backgrounds which suggest that the group of offical diplomatic actors in this age appears to be quite homogeneous.

Secondly, luxury good and food played an important part as gifts in #emdiplomacy. Gift-giving was an essential part of symbolic communication that helped establish and maintain relationships, but also express status and hierarchies. Giving and receiving gifts was expected, although there could be a fine line between gift-giving and supposed bribery.
If you want to know more about it, we can recommend the #handbook article by Mark Häberlein (for its introduction on this channel you have to be patient a bit longer).

Of course #emdiplomats and #emdiplomacysSources played an important part in these discussions. Firstly, they often acted as cultural brokers, as they collected and obtained special objects, delicacies and other luxury goods for their rulers. For our #handbook Elisabeth Natour talked about the relationship between art and diplomacy and the role of #emdiplomats as cultural brokers. (2/7)

For the #handbook Félicité asks the fundamental question: Who was allowed to sent out #emdiplomats? She explains that the actor-centred approach of #NDH has led to the neglect of the institutional side of diplomacy in favor of diplomatic actors. But in order to understand #emdiplomacy we also must pay attention to the “sending institutions”. (2/5)
