Scholarship has produced significant studies on royal courts, legal offices, court cases, and women\u2019s roles and agency in these spheres. However, little attempt has been made to think the space of the court capaciously across time and polities, both in royal residences and law tribunals. The court \u2013 understood as e.g., <em>darb\u0101r<\/em>, <em>d\u012bv\u0101n<\/em> or \u02bf<em>ad\u0101lat<\/em> \u2013 unfolded multiple discourses displaying plural realities and imaginations of power. In its manifold compositions, the court served to legitimate the state authority, since the virtue of \u02bf<em>adl<\/em> or justice can be embodied in the personae of the king or of the judge. By drawing attention to the terminology of the court, its diverse definitions and overlapping functions, the conference intends to trace the production of variegated spaces and relations to authority in addressing \u201cthe conundrum of sovereignty\u201d (Gilmartin, 2015) and the vexed notion of justice. In its architecture, the court refers to an enclosed yard which rests on visible coding of space alongside norms, values and status circumscribing a male-dominated arena. Beyond the idea of a more or less static composition, we seek to read the court in its dynamic dimension as a site continuously produced in a dialectical process between sovereign authority and women\u2019s commentaries. We ask in what ways this dialectic might help define the court as a protean space that exceeds  physical contingency (Lefebvre, 1974), allows pluralistic experiences (Foucault, 1984) and destabilizes the web of power-based social relationship of the court (Bourdieu, 1984). For they participated in creating the space of the court, we seek to uncover women\u2019s imaginaries of the court which challenged, negotiated, or reformulated sovereign authorities. We hope to provide a spatial hermeneutic of the court in foregrounding women\u2019s critical voices emerging from arenas of debate located both within and outside the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fdcfc74e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/womenandthecourt\/conference\/abstracts\/\"><strong>Abstracts<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/womenandthecourt\/conference\/programme\/\"><strong>Schedule<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/womenandthecourt\/files\/2023\/11\/WC-POSTER-FINAL-with-logos-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/womenandthecourt\/files\/2023\/11\/WC-POSTER-FINAL-with-logos-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/womenandthecourt\/files\/2023\/11\/WC-POSTER-FINAL-with-logos-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/womenandthecourt\/files\/2023\/11\/WC-POSTER-FINAL-with-logos-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/womenandthecourt\/files\/2023\/11\/WC-POSTER-FINAL-with-logos.jpg 849w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The conference organizers invite scholars to consider women\u2019s imaginings of the court in royal and legal contexts between the 16th and the 20th centuries.
