16th annual postgraduate medieval conference

Postgraduate Conference

BIRTHA Medieval Postgraduate Conference 2010: Language & Silence

26^th-27^th February 2010

The University of Bristol hosts the longest-running international medieval postgraduate conference in the UK. Each year we offer medievalists the opportunity to present their research, discuss ideas, and foster links bridging disciplinary and geographical boundaries. This year the conference is in its 16th year, and we are inviting proposals for papers from postgraduates and early career scholars on the theme of ‘Language and Silence’.

Issues of language and silence permeate both religious and political life in the Middle Ages: from attempts to engage with and communicate spiritual experience, to the complex negotiations involved in balancing the demands of the solitary religious life with the needs of the community, to the political pressures on everyday language in times when charges of heresy are a real concern. In private life, too, the ability or authority to speak was governed by a complex array of theological, philosophical and social codes. This conference aims to address issues such as these in the context of medieval life, and also some of the broader issues of language, and its absence, raised by such debate.

The University of Bristol hosts the longest-running international medieval postgraduate conference in the UK. Each year we offer medievalists the opportunity to present their research, discuss ideas, and foster links bridging disciplinary and geographical boundaries. This year we invite proposals for papers from postgraduates and early career scholars on the theme of ‘Language and Silence’.

Issues of language and silence permeate both religious and political life in the Middle Ages: from attempts to engage with and communicate spiritual experience, to the complex negotiations involved in balancing the demands of the solitary religious life with the needs of the community, to the political pressures on everyday language in times when charges of heresy are a real concern. In private life, too, the ability or authority to speak was governed by a complex array of theological, philosophical and social codes. This conference aims to address issues such as these in the context of medieval life, and also some of the broader issues of language, and its absence, raised by such debate.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

• The said and the unsaid
• Ineffability, inexpressibility and the limitations of language
• The suppression of speech or ideas, whether psychological, social, political or religious
• Interactions between language and silence in the religious life
• The interaction between verbal and non-verbal languages
• Interpretation and the construction of meaning
• Texts that display a foregrounding of language
• Issues of language and identity.

Les Bibles atlantiques: Le manuscrit biblique à l'époque de la réforme ecclésiastique du XIe siècle

Les Bibles atlantiques: Le manuscrit biblique à l'époque de la réforme ecclésiastique du XIe siècle

Université de Genève, 25-27 février 2010 
Les Bibles atlantiques. Le manuscrit biblique à l’époque de la réforme ecclésiastique du XIe siècle
Les Bibles atlantiques, produites entre la moitié du XIe et la moitié du XIIe siècle dans la région de Rome, constituent un genre particulier du manuscrit biblique. Ces manuscrits présentent des caractères spécifiques et un degré plutôt élevé d’uniformité de tous les caractères matériels et textuels. La production et la circulation de ces manuscrits bibliques s’inscrivent dans le mouvement de renouveau moral et spirituel de l’Église au XIe siècle que les historiens appellent couramment la Réforme grégorienne. Avec leurs caractéristiques matérielles et textuelles, les Bibles atlantiques semblent bien répondre à l’exigence des réformateurs romains de définir un modèle qui puisse s’imposer par l’autorité théologique du contenu et par la monumentalité de l’aspect extérieur.
Le Colloque international de Genève représentera la première occasion pour faire le bilan historiographique des recherches consacrées à la production, la circulation et l’emploi des Bibles atlantiques ; il constituera également un moment précieux d’échanges et de confrontation entre les spécialistes et tous ceux qui, dans leurs recherches d’archives et dans les fonds médiévaux, se sont rapprochés de ces manuscrits.
Comme les études les plus récentes l’ont montré, les problématiques liées à la réalisation des Bibles atlantiques, ainsi qu’au contexte de la production, de la circulation et de l’utilisation de ces livres, demandent nécessairement une étude interdisciplinaire de spécialistes en histoire médiévale, en philologie et histoire de la Vulgate, en science de la Liturgie et en histoire du livre manuscrit. Cette manifestation permettra d’aborder le phénomène de la production des Bibles atlantiques selon différentes perspectives d’analyse combinant histoire culturelle, religieuse et matérielle avec le contexte historique et la liturgie. De même, les aspects textuels, codicologiques, paléographies et ornementaux du manuscrit seront largement traités. Le Colloque, principalement axé sur les Bibles atlantiques d’origine italienne, prévoit également des conférences sur la production des manuscrits atlantiques non bibliques, ainsi que sur les manuscrits géants de la Vulgate réalisés au XIe siècle en dehors de l’Italie. Dans les détails, les thèmes abordés dans le Colloque seront les suivants :
Histoire du livre manuscrit. La réalisation d’un manuscrit géant contenant le texte complet de la Vulgate, tel que les Bibles atlantiques, a nécessairement posé plusieurs problèmes d’ordre technique, ainsi que des contraintes liées à d’organisation et à la distribution du travail entre les différents artisans du livre. Les communications pourront concerner : analyse des différents aspects de la production matérielle des Bibles atlantiques ; méthodes et procédés techniques adoptés dans la réalisation des manuscrits monumentaux de la Bible et d’autres manuscrits non bibliques ; organisation et distribution du travail de copie et de l’exécution de l’apparat ornemental ; analyse de la production contemporaine d’autres manuscrits géants de la Bible dans le milieu de réformateurs du XIe siècle ; présentation ponctuelle et détaillée d’exemplaires de Bibles atlantiques et/ou d’autres manuscrits atlantiques encore peu connus et qui présentent un intérêt spécifique.
Philologie biblique et histoire de la Vulgate au XIe siècle. A partir de la recension textuelle des Bibles atlantiques, on souhaite contribuer à l’histoire de la Vulgate au XIe siècle, qui a vu nombre d’innovations en matière de production du livre et de révision du texte biblique. Cette section du Colloque concernera l’établissement du texte biblique contenu dans les Bibles atlantiques et dans d’autres manuscrits bibliques de la même époque, à savoir le choix des livres considérés comme canoniques, la définition de l’ordre des livres bibliques, les critères d’édition de la Vulgate adoptés par les réformateurs romains.
Emploi des manuscrits monumentaux de la Bible. Les Bibles atlantiques, conçues en tant qu’emblème de la réforme ecclésiastique du XIe siècle, sont également employées dans des communautés religieuses bien déterminées, auxquelles elles étaient destinées dès l’origine. Dans le cadre du Colloque on propose d’analyser les circonstances et les modalités d’utilisation du manuscrit biblique de format géant.
La réforme ecclésiastique du XIe siècle et la production du texte biblique. A partir de l’histoire des Bibles atlantiques, on propose d’investiguer sur la vie religieuse locale, sur les rapports hiérarchiques entre les hauts prélats et le clergé, sur l’activité pastorale des évêques qui figurent parmi les promoteurs de la réforme et, en même temps, parmi les commanditaires des Bibles atlantiques.

The Past's Digital Presence: Database, Archive, and Knowledge Work in the Humanities

How is digital technology changing methods of scholarly research with pre-digital sources in the humanities? If the “medium is the message,” then how does the message change when primary sources are translated into digital media? What kinds of new research opportunities do databases unlock and what do they make obsolete? What is the future of the rare book and manuscript library and its use? What biases are inherent in the widespread use of digitized material? How can we correct for them? Amidst numerous benefits in accessibility, cost, and convenience, what concerns have been overlooked?

The Illinois Medieval Association and Medieval Association of the Midwest invites proposals for papers on the theme of "The Ends of Romance?". We are thinking about this topic in the broadest of terms and invite proposals from history, music, art history, theology, English, and language studies as well as any other areas of interest.
The romances have often been considered to be an access point into the cultures of the medieval world, and we would be interested in examining why, how, and if we should be having such critical discussions. As a second strand to the conference we will also be examining penitential/ sacramental thinking and how it relates to these themes in the middle ages.

Conference Website with a form for the "CFP" and information on fees, housing, travel, etc: http://domin.dom.edu/imam/
Our two keynote addresses will be given by:
Prudential Penitence:
Robert Hanning, Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, will examine the nature and implications of the medieval adaptation of aural confession by the Church, which required from her members exercise of ethical and rhetorical practice originating in classical antiquity. Then, he will explore some of the ways in which "prudential penitence" was appropriated by authors such as Geoffrey Chaucer and Giovanni Boccaccio as a component of some of their most trenchant and most amusing fictions about both clergy and laity. His forthcoming book, Serious Play: Crises of Desire and Authority in the Poetry of Ovid, Chaucer, and Ariosto is to be published by the Columbia University Press. This event co-sponsored by the Department of English and the Illinois Medieval Association conference.
Malory and the Christian Happy Ending:
D. Thomas Hanks, Jr., is Professor of English Literature at Baylor University. He will speaking about Malory's Morte Darthur which partakes of the nature of a "fairy story," as J. R. R. Tolkien defines fairy stories. As such, it embodies a Secondary World which includes magic, perilous realms, unexpected magical dangers (e.g., Morgan), as well as the sun, the moon, the stars above, and ordinary humans going about their business as best they can (to paraphrase Tolkien's On Fairy Stories). It also contains what Tolkien calls a "eucatastrophe"-a happy ending which partakes of the nature of what Malory would have seen as the evangelion-a specifically Christian happy ending.
Papers delivered at the conference are eligible for publication in Essays In Medieval Studies (IMA) or Enarratio (MAM).

Humanity and the Natural World
in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

11 - 13 February 2010 in Tempe, Arizona

ACMRS invites session and paper proposals for its annual
interdisciplinary conference to be held February 11 - 13, 2010 in Tempe,
Arizona. We welcome papers that explore any topic related to the study
and teaching of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and especially those
that focus on this year\'s theme of humanity and the natural world, both
in literal and metaphorical manifestations.

Selected papers related to the conference theme will be considered for
publication in the conference volume of the Arizona Studies in the
Middle Ages and the Renaissance series, published by Brepols Publishers
(Belgium).

The conference keynote speaker will be Pamela O. Long, an independent
historian who has published widely in late medieval and Renaissance
history of science and technology, and intellectual history. Her recent
works includes Obelisk: A History (co-authored with Brian Curran,
Anthony Grafton, and Benjamin Weiss, MIT Press, 2009); and a three
volume edition, translation, and group of studies of a book written by a
fifteenth century oarsman: The Book of Michael of Rhodes: A
Fifteenth-Century Maritime Manuscript (co-edited with David McGee and
Alan Stahl, MIT Press, 2009). She is at work on a cultural history of
engineering in late sixteenth-century Rome.

Before the conference, ACMRS will host a workshop on manuscript studies
to be led by Timothy Graham, Director of the Institute for Medieval
Studies at the University of New Mexico. The workshop will be Thursday
afternoon, February 11, and participation will be limited to 25
participants, who will be determined by the order in which registrations
are received. Email acmrs@asu.edu with \"conference workshop\" as the
subject line to be added to the list. The cost of the workshop is $25
and is in addition to the regular conference registration fee.

The conference registration fee is $95 ($45 for students and emeriti/ae
faculty) and includes welcoming and farewell receptions, two days of
concurrent sessions (Friday and Saturday), and keynote address. Please
note that there will be an opening reception Thursday evening, but there
will be no sessions that day.

The deadline for proposals is 9:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on 16
October 2009. Proposals must include audio/visual requirements and any
other special requests. In order to streamline the committee review
process, submissions will only be accepted at

Gender and the Family, 2010

Gender and the Family: Annual Gender and Medieval Studies Conference

The next annual Gender and Medieval Studies Conference will be held in the Arts Building at the University of Birmingham, 7-10 January 2010. Please see details on the travel page for instructions on the location of the Arts Building.
This conference will examine the functions and representations of the medieval family in a range of contexts, examining how gender roles inform its definition and affect its economy, dynamics, and links to other institutions and networks. 


Despite the current snowy weather across the UK, we are intending to go ahead with the conference as planned. At present there is snow on the ground to a depth of a couple of inches in Birmingham, but roads are open and trains and buses are operating.
If you are coming to speak at the conference, please factor extra time into your travel plans if at all possible. If your journey is delayed, we would be grateful if you could let us know via email to gender.family.2010@googlemail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
