Visualizing Peace in the Global Middle Ages, 500-1500
College Art Association's 111th Annual Conference, 15-18 February 2023
Session sponsored by the International Center of Medieval Art

This is a VIRTUAL session. 


Organized by:
Diane Wolfthal, Rice University (dianewolfthal@yahoo.com) and Jitske Jasperse (jitske.jasperse@hu-berlin.de / jitskeja@hotmail.com)


Many today see peace as the absence of war, but to the medieval world peace was far from a pale, negative concept – a lack of violence. Rather it was celebrated as a rich, vibrant ideal. Yet premodern war and violence have attracted much more attention than peace and cooperation, both in the public media and among scholars. One major area of interest, however, has been the intellectual history of peace. Publications have focused on Confucian ideas about peace (and their impact on the modern world) and on such European movements as the Truce of God and Peace of God. Other studies have explored the role of women in forging peace through gift-giving.

This session fosters broad thinking about the premodern and global cultural heritage of peace, which is too often neglected. One reason for this neglect is ideological: those who gained from warfare sought to glorify it. Another factor is that medieval peace may manifest itself in ways that are not immediately recognizable to us today. We welcome papers that discuss visual representations of peace, as well as the ways in which the material culture and the built environment contributed to the cessation of war or the safeguarding of peace. We encourage papers that explore the relationship between justice and peace or examine how images of premodern peace either still affect our discussions today or open the door to a new way of thinking. We welcome papers that analyze the regional diversity or global connectivity of images of peace.

Please submit abstracts directly to the organizers by 31 August 2022. More specific submission instructions can be found the CAA Annual Conference website here.

University of Fribourg: L’histoire de la transmission et de la provenance des manuscrits comme histoire culturelle. La valeur testimoniale des codex médiévaux, 5-7 Sept 2022

HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION AND PROVENANCE AS CULTURAL HISTORY. THE TESTIMONY OF MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS

9TH GRADUATE COURSE

FROM SEPTEMBER 5TH TO 7TH, 2022

organized by the Medieval Studies Institute in cooperation with the  Center for Manuscript Research - University of Freiburg and the  doctoral program Medieval Studies at CUSO .

The course offered is intended to enable doctoral students to expand their working knowledge as medievalists and to acquire skills in the development of their doctoral thesis. The subject invites cooperation between various disciplines dealing with the Middle Ages: history, philosophy, art history, Latin and vernacular literature and philology, palaeography and codicology, musicology and liturgy.

The focus of the course is the question of the cultural-historical significance of historical findings. The doctoral students are given the opportunity to report and discuss textual history, tradition and provenance history as well as codicological and palaeographical questions that arise in connection with their medieval projects, as well as to exchange practical and methodological aspects of their work. Case studies and topics can be presented, for which the following questions, among others, arise: Which social and institutional networks organize the exchange and dissemination of manuscripts and for what reasons? How can business cycles and regional limitations in the history of transmission of certain texts be explained? Under what circumstances do transmission chains break off at certain times? What testimony value do manuscript fragments and parchment waste have, especially for historical, cultural and pious historical caesuras and breaks? What stories do the places where they were created and stored tell us about the practical and ideal value of manuscripts, which they had for contemporaries as well as for future generations? cultural and piety-historical caesuras and breaks? What stories do the places where they were created and stored tell us about the practical and ideal value of manuscripts, which they had for contemporaries as well as for future generations? cultural and piety-historical caesuras and breaks? What stories do the places where they were created and stored tell us about the practical and ideal value of manuscripts, which they had for contemporaries as well as for future generations?

One-Day Workshop: The Byzantine Tradition at the Barnes Foundation - 19 July 2022

One-Day Workshop: The Byzantine Tradition at the Barnes Foundation

Instructors: Amy Gillette and Kaelin Jewell (Department of Research, Interpretation, and Education at the Barnes)

Cretan. Nativity of Christ (detail), 16th century. BF362. Public Domain.

Date/Time: Tuesday July 19, 10am-4pm
Location: Onsite in the collection galleries at the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia

Dr. Albert C. Barnes announced in 1925 that “Modern painting developed out of mosaics,” referring to the glittering glass and stonework of the Byzantine Tradition. The arrangement of his collection seems to support this bold claim. Modern and Byzantine objects are often displayed together—including a 16th- or 17th-century icon of the Nativity in an ensemble with paintings by Renoir—highlighting their shared visual qualities and connecting past and present experiences of art. This one-day workshop explores the art of the Byzantium, its role in Dr. Barnes’s collection, and the profound impact it had on modern artists like Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Giorgio de Chirico.

The ICMA Mourns the Loss of Ilene Forsyth

The ICMA Mourns the Loss of Ilene Forsyth

It is with great sadness that the International Center of Medieval Art announces the death of Ilene Forsyth, a long-time member and supporter of the ICMA. Ilene endowed the ICMA’s Forsyth Lecture in memory of her husband, George H. Forsyth, Jr., and his cousin William H. Forsyth. She was a member of the ICMA from its foundation and served on the Board of Directors at various points, most recently from 2005 to 2008. A preeminent scholar of twelfth-century European sculpture and author of the landmark book The Throne of Wisdom: Wood Sculptures of the Madonna in Romanesque France (Princeton UP, 1972), Ilene was an inspiration and mentor for generations of medieval art historians. She was a member of the art history faculty at University of Michigan for thirty-five years (1962-97), where she generously endowed a professorship in western medieval art, graduate student fellowships, and other programs aimed at ensuring the future of the field.
 
A tribute to Ilene will appear in a forthcoming issue of ICMA News.

The organization embraces diversity in all forms, serving a membership of scholars with a variety of racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and gender identities, among other factors. We encourage applications from candidates committed to forging and sustaining the ICMA’s multifaceted diversity and to being part of a community in which all are warmly welcomed and encouraged to succeed.
