La liberté de conscience est considérée comme étant un droit inaliénable, comparable aux libertés d’expression et de parole, comme noté dans les articles 18 et 19 dans la Charte des Nations Unies. Mais si on tourne notre regard vers l’époque médiévale, ou les écrits Protestants du XVIe, il est clair que la mécanique de l’oppression externe sur la vie intérieure d’un individu est conçue d’une manière claire et nette. Si on projette notre regard au-delà du XVIIIe, voyons-nous cette notion de liberté de conscience devenir progressivement tangible ?
CALL FOR PAPERS Freedom of Conscience in the Pre-Enlightenment (1000-1650) Freedom of conscience is considered an unalienable right akin to freedoms of expression and speech, as noted in Articles 18 and 19 of the UN Charter. And yet, if we turn to the Medieval period, or look at the works of Protestant writers writing in the sixteenth century, it becomes clear that the mechanics of external oppression upon an individual’s inner life already existed in clear and comprehensible terms. If we look beyond the eighteenth century, do we see this idea gradually become concrete? SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 28 MAY Please send your proposals to: Anthony Stonestreet (Homerton): ams330@cam.ac.uk Rachael Hodgson (Murray Edwards): reh89@cam.ac.uk https://calenda.org/1382146

Freedom of Conscience in the Pre-Enlightenment (1000-1650) University of Cambridge, Faculty of English, 17th June 2026 Call for Papers deadline - 28 May 2026 Abstract: This conference seeks to further our understanding of freedom of conscience, a notion all too often associated with the Enlightenment and its legacy in the modern day. With this in mind, we chose to organise this conference to invite perspectives on material well removed from the Revolutionary Age. Although not within the reach of all, freedom of conscience is considered an unalienable right akin to freedoms of expression and speech, as noted in Articles 18 and 19 of the UN Charter. However, if we turn to the Medieval period, and its great diversity of innovative religious writing, particularly in the contested context of Arundel’s decrees; or in the works of Protestant writers writing in the sixteenth century, such as Sebastian Castellio, it is clear that the mechanics of external oppression upon an individual’s inner life already existed in clear and comprehensible terms. Therefore, the (broad) question we would like to answer is: if we look beyond the eighteenth century, do we see this idea gradually become concrete? Contributions: We invite contributions from scholars of all disciplines. We particularly want to hear from those who have identified anxieties surrounding freedom of conscience in material where it may not be expected, for example in dramatic works, administrative papers, or travel writing. We would also like to emphasise that we very much encourage contributions from those working on non-European contexts, and those working on colonialism or colonialism-adjacent topics. Given the wide net we’re casting here, we encourage contributors to consider how to best refashion and present their findings to an audience unfamiliar with the subject matter. It is our hope that this gathering will allow us to identify recurring patterns across all historical and geographic contexts.

I’m tired of hearing everybody whinge about AI on social media. I’ve seen the term “AI slop” on my LinkedIn feed at least 50 times in the last week, which is ironic considering AI is apparently to blame for unoriginal content now. I’m also tired of seeing AI addicts aggressively pushing affiliate links for shoddy tools (although, after seeing the juicy commissions on offer, I get the temptation). Whether we like it or not, AI is here. So can we leave the “hot takes” on AI back in 2025? They’re not hot anymore. They’re cold. Icy. Boring. Use AI if you want to. Don’t use AI if you don’t want to. Can’t we just leave it at that?

Further to emails ofJanuary 21, I crossed an image of a rare 17th Century Marble Bust of Roman Emperor Vitellius you purchased from me during the second half of the 90's. I recalled upon many occasions you visiting Bennison, Pimlico Road and being extremely respectful and courteous, as Miss Maxwell was on each occasion. From recent media reports about you and our Prince Andrew, I do not believe you, Miss Maxwell and Prince Andrew would undermine your conduct the way reports are suggesting. I feel for you all and hope this episode clears so you can concentrate on your professional activities that do positive things for our countries. You may have heard a report an interesting report conducted by a genius Lawyer Michael Shrimpton - Michael Shrimpton youtube - Exposes Ted Heath (and others) The report is shocking and is not a hair-line what you are wrongly accused of (based upon our many meetings). Further David Dicke reports on the USA former President George W. Bush Senior which again is shocking, unbelievable, unacceptable... Mr Michael Shrimpton & Mr David Dicke are worth watching if you haven't yet crossed their researching of public figures that have (literally by reports) got away with murder. Please find attached an image of Vitellius, pair of 19th Century Medici Lions (that are perfect for one of your estates), emperor Vespasian and a pair of Piranesi Engravings for your consideration.

For Julie Neis, it was burnout that ultimately led her to confide in ChatGPT. She had been working in San Francisco’s tech scene for three years when she says she became overcome with anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue. “I finally got to the point where I was like, I have to do something and change something,” she says of that period late last year. “I was a shell of a human.” So she resolved to move — to France, specifically — and turned to ChatGPT for guidance. After detailing her criteria (a quiet town, with a decently sized expat community) and her red lines (no busy cities like Paris), the chatbot issued its recommendation: Uzès, a small town in the south of France, population 8,300. Neis moved there in April, and says that outsourcing the decision-making process to ChatGPT helped her feel less overwhelmed by the whole process. Still, she says, it wasn’t perfect. Although Uzès does have a sizable population of expats from the U.S. and the UK, what ChatGPT failed to mention was that most of those people are retirees. Neis is 44.

Chris Kendall (Brit) receiving flack from kate (ostensibly American) over an (aborted) jibe pertaining to the collapse of American democracy, the crux of kate's criticism being that resorting to such a taunt is an unnecessary escalation to what was an already fraught discussion over American eating habits and kitchen paraphernalia (and whether Americans are in this regard globally provincial or otherwise lacking). Kendall's approach is characterised by kate as "freak shit".

A pact with the Greens, now led by eco-populist Zack Polanski? Corbyn reckons the discussion is premature, and Fitzpatrick warns against an alliance with a “more liberal” party, while figures such as Driscoll – understood to be on good terms with Polanski – believe such a pact is crucial. Campaign group We Deserve Better, linked to Owen Jones and staffed by former Labour left activists, hopes to persuade the Greens and the new party to forge one. It wants to take inspiration from the Nouveau Front Populaire alliance, which was hugely successful in the 2024 French parliamentary elections.
