ACLS invites applications for Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art, made possible by the generous support of the Getty Foundation. These fellowships are intended to support an academic year of research and/or writing by early career scholars from around the world for a project that will make a substantial and original contribution to the understanding of art and its history. The ultimate goal of the project should be a major piece of scholarly work by the applicant. ACLS does not fund creative work (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, straightforward translation, or pedagogical projects.

ACLS will award 10 fellowships, each with a salary-replacement stipend of $60,000, plus $5,000 for research and travel during the award period. The fellowships are portable and are tenable at the fellow's home institution, abroad, or at another appropriate site for the work proposed. Awards also will include a one-week residence at the Getty Research Institute following the fellowship period.

Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships may not be held concurrently with other fellowships and grants, though they may be combined with sabbatical. Tenure of the award must encompass the entirety of the 2020-21 academic year, during which fellows must devote themselves to full-time research and writing.

Please read carefully through the eligibility, application requirements, and evaluation criteria detailed here as well as accompanying FAQ.

Craftsmen and Metalworking in Medieval Cities: 35 Years Later; 12-14 September 2019, Paris

The symposium Craftsmen and Metalworking in Medieval Cities: 35 Years Later addresses the metallurgies of iron, copper, tin, lead and precious metals, which produced a wide variety of objects necessary for urban life at the end of the Middle Ages. The nature, volume and possible standardization of production may be studied, as well as the needs of the city, the practices and techniques of craftsmen, their knowledge and know-how. The relationships between the crafts and between the craftsmen themselves might be examined, including dependency links, pluriactivity, networks of sociability or local relationships in urban areas. The identity and regulation of these crafts, their integration into urban society, their relationship with the surrounding rural areas and with other cities may also be revisited. The symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, promoting dialogue between historians, archaeologists and archaeometry, without excluding anthropological approaches to learning and knowledge.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 12, 13 and 14.

Centre Malher
Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
9 Rue Malher

CFP: Architectural Representation and Medieval Art, College Art Association, 13 February 2020; proposals due 23 July 2019

CFP: Architectural Representation and Medieval Art
College Art Association, 13 February 2020

proposals due 23 July 2019


Architectural Representation and Medieval Art

Jenny H. Shaffer, New York University School of Professional Studies
Email Address(s):
jshaffer@nyc.rr.com

Images of architecture are ubiquitous in the art of the Middle Ages, and the consistent centrality of such imagery throughout this thousand-year time span raises a wide variety of questions. Medieval architectural representations may be emblematic, represent only an architectural fragment, be fanciful in form, or show structures from multiple viewpoints; they are often in disparate scale with relation to other figures. As isolated images, they are discussed in terms of formal types and stylistic categories and mined for information about actual structures, yet these representations are most remarkable for the ways in which they participate in and contribute to the systems of signification of which they are a part. They invite – and even insist on – open-ended and overlapping interpretations and associations, communicating purposely diffuse meanings in an age that well understood the value of evocative visual worlds. This session welcomes papers on any aspect of or approach to architectural representation in medieval art – whether, for example, questions of production, dissemination, use, and reception or issues of composition, style, and subject matter – in order to explore the myriad ways in which buildings are implicated in the broader field of the production of meaning for this millennium characterized by movement and change played out in a space stretching from Scandinavia into the Middle East.

CFP, 31 March 2019: Medievalist Toolkit Meeting: a workshop for public scholarship countering far-right misinformation

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Medievalist Toolkit Meeting: a workshop for public scholarship countering far-right misinformation

May 4, 2019 at Columbia University

Submission deadline: March 31, 2019

Send abstracts and questions to: medievalisttoolkit@gmail.com

The Medievalist Toolkit is an initiative run by graduate students that addresses far-right misappropriations of the Middle Ages. To do so, we research extremist narratives, develop short responses to combat them, and solicit input from journalists and nonprofit professionals so that our research will be easily accessible for their work against the far-right. These responses will eventually be shared online with support from Columbia's Medieval & Renaissance Studies Program and History in Action , funded by the American Historical Association and Mellon Foundation.

The toolkit has two goals: to be a resource for professionals working in journalism and nonprofit organizations who encounter far-right talking points related to the Middle Ages, and to teach graduate students how to produce public scholarship in consultation with these professionals.

We invite graduate students to join us by (1) identifying a far-right talking point involving a medieval topic, and (2) writing a short response to address and dismantle it (approximately 1,000-1,500 words).

Participants will be invited to present their findings in a workshop at Columbia on May 4, in conversation with experts such as Sammy Rangel , the Executive Director of Life After Hate, and journalist Vegas Tenold , author of Everything You Love Will Burn: Inside the Rebirth of White Nationalism in America .

If you are interested in participating, please send the topic of your choice to medievalisttoolkit@gmail.com along with a brief abstract outlining your response.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
– the myth and presumed superiority of a white/Christian Middle Ages
- the history of anti-Semitism
– the Crusades
– women’s agency and rights in the Middle Ages
– the misappropriation of popular symbols: the Knights Templar, Holy Roman Empire, etc.
– modern regimes and their fascinations with the medieval
– caliphal claims among modern extremist groups
– profiling a far-right spokesperson and dismantling their talking points

Byzantine Studies Symposium

Register here.

Military, civic, and religious processions were hallmarks of the ancient and medieval world; they continued into the Renaissance and, indeed, continue to this day. The Byzantine procession has not yet been subjected to any synthetic, historicizing, contextualizing, or comparative examination.

Understanding processions is critical for our appreciation of how urban space worked and was manipulated in the Middle Ages. For the 2019 Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Symposium, speakers will examine texts, artifacts, and images to develop a new understanding of medieval urban life across multiple social registers. For example, records of processions show us what kinds of public behavior were acceptable, and when, and where. Studying processions introduces us to new protagonists as well, for processions involve audiences as well as participants, and groups hitherto virtually invisible, such as the team of people who prepared for the event by decorating the streets, will be brought to light. The Byzantine commitment to processions is striking in terms of the resources and time allocated: there were as many as two processions a week in Constantinople, many involving the patriarch and the emperor. In the Latin West, the Crusader States, and in the Fatimid, Ottoman, and Muscovite worlds, by comparison, processions occurred far less frequently: the procession was significantly more important to the Byzantines than to their neighbors and successors. The comparative study of Byzantine processions to be offered by the speakers at the symposium will reveal how the Byzantines operated in a complex global network defined by local contexts, how the Byzantines positioned themselves within this network, and the nature of the Byzantine legacy to the Islamic, Catholic, and Orthodox inheritors of their culture.
