Authority and Legitimation

Deadline: 1 December 2009

During the academic years 2010/11 and 2011/12 the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies will focus on problems of authority and legitimation. We welcome proposals that explore the popular claims of authority. How have regimes of power been legitimated, sustained, and identified with realms of justice, the sacred, or the natural? How have cultures of consent and allegiance been created and maintained? Under what historical conditions have those cultures fractured or dissolved?
