The Zest of Still-Life Empires — Montcher
As a complementary approach to the concepts of Composite monarchies and Polycentric Empires, I would like to posit the heuristic relevance of a Rhizomatic conception of early modern empires.
Fabien Montcher
Fabien Montcher is exploring how scholarship contributed to the foundations of modern state politics between the late Renaissance and the Enlightenment. As a social historian of ideas, he seeks to understand how Iberian communities of knowledge, from both the Spanish and the Portuguese Empires, fostered political communication among different state information systems.
