Conference: The Night as a Private Space
On 11-12 December 2025, PRIVACY will host an interdisciplinary conference on “The Night as a Private Space”.
Through 19 presentations, the event will address questions such as: How does the night impact privacy? Which activities and creative potentials become available and/or acceptable under the cover of nocturnal darkness? Is the night more private than the day? And, last but not least, how have these dynamics changed from the early modern period until today?
Investigating the early modern night as a private space, we hope to generate reflections about late capitalist society, where technological developments have entailed a fundamental reconfiguration of privacy and the night.
The event is designed, organised and hosted by PRIVACY scholar Bastian Felter Vaucanson in collaboration with Markus Floris Christensen, Europa-Universität Flensburg.
