Scepticism in Early Modern European Drama
In the 16th and 17th centuries, a highly influential revival of ancient Scepticism was embedded in a time of radical changes in hitherto valid certainties. The research project comparatively investigates how Scepticism and related epistemological questions or strategies of argumentation have been incorporated into contemporary Spanish, English and French drama.
Leonie Pawlita was co-organiser of the first DramaNet conference Theatre Cultures in November 2012.
