Profile

Research A specialist in cultural history, Joris van Eijnatten works on three overlapping and interrelated fields: the history of ideas, the history of religion, and the history of media and communication. Most of his research involves source material from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but he makes occasional excursions to the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. Van Eijnatten is now writing a textbook on the cultural history of media and communication. His current research, which focuses specifically on audiences and publics in the 'long' nineteenth century (1750-1920), will result in a cultural history of the modern European audience.
