Opportunity(Un)Freedom in Global Perspective. Actors – Perceptions – AgenciesThe international conference "(Un)Freedom in Global Perspective: Actors – Perceptions – Agencies" will take place on 3–4 February 2025, in Innsbruck. This event brings together scholars to explore the multifaceted experiences of individuals and communities characterized as "unfree," including those in slavery, captivity, serfdom, and imprisonment. Challenging static and binary concepts of freedom and unfreedom, the conference examines nuanced forms of agency within local, regional, and global frameworks of the early modern and modern periods. Through diverse case studies, the programme highlights overarching trends, offering comparative perspectives and fresh insights into historical continuities, transformations, and lived experiences of (un)freedom. Audience members are welcome to join virtually via the link provided in the attached program. If you are interested in attending the conference on-site, please register in advance by contacting Florian Ambach (florian.ambach@uibk.ac.at and Sabine Robic (sabine.robic@uibk.ac.at).
