"Archive Fever - Now" - Les Enluminures New York; 8 September to 6 October 2022

Archive Fever - Now

September 8 to October 6, 2022, (Tuesday to Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm)

Opening: September 8, 6-8 pm

Les Enluminures, 23 East 73rd Street, 7th Floor, Penthouse, New York, NY 10021

Les Enluminures New York is back and in full swing. Join us for a series of exciting and innovative events throughout the year.

Our inaugural exhibition this fall “Archive Fever - Now” takes Jacques Derrida’s seminal essay “Archive Fever” (1995) as a starting point to explore the idea of the archive in art from the Middle Ages to the present.

Seventeen 19th-century photographs of medieval French architecture and sculpture form the core of the exhibition. The represent the first public photography project known as the Mission Héliographique, which included pioneering photographers Henri Le Secq and Emile Pécarrère, along with others under their influence such as the Frères Bisson and Charles Marville. Apart from their importance as an early archive of medieval art, these photographs reveal a critical moment in the development of photography, documenting a shift from glass to calotypes printed on salt paper. Their artistic merit also lies in the experimental strategies employed toward composition and shading.

Medieval manuscripts and contemporary art accompany and complement the collection of photographs, exploring further the notion of the archive. Books of Hours have been called an “archive of prayer”; they also functioned as memory banks for family events. Cartas ejecutorias likewise document genealogical strains of upwardly mobile families in 16th- and 17th-century Spain. A medieval manuscript with a chain reminds us that hte ultimate archival repository, the library, sought to preserve its treasures, chaining them to the shelves at readers’ desks.

Three series of contemporary photographs round out the exhibition. Works by Thomas Ruff, Stan Douglas, and Robert Polidori, each resonate on their own terms with the 19th-century photographic collection. Ruff’s Zeitungsfotos and Negatives question the archive, reappropriating and recontextualizing them, leading the viewer to question assumptions. Douglas questions the very intention of photography as a record while still capturing the American past. Polidori, much like the Mission Héliographique, portrays a French monument, Versailles, yet his approach is steeped in a critical understanding of the socio-political realities involving the building and renovation of Versailles under François Mitterand.

Identity, objectivity, and originality are all concepts at play in this unusual display of art in “Archive Fever - Now.”

MEDIEVAL GREEK SUMMER SESSION AT THE GENNADIUS LIBRARY, SUMMER 2023; DEADLINE JANUARY 15, 2023

MEDIEVAL GREEK SUMMER SESSION AT THE GENNADIUS LIBRARY, SUMMER 2023

DEADLINE: JANUARY 15, 2023

The Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens announces the summer session focused on the study of Medieval Greek, from June 26 to July 27, 2023.

Founded in 1881, the American School is the most significant resource in Greece for American scholars in the fields of ancient and post-classical studies. One of the two major research libraries of the School, the Gennadius Library, which houses over 146,000 volumes and archives, is devoted to post-classical Hellenic civilization.

The Library invites applications for a month-long Summer Session for Medieval Greek at the Intermediate to Advanced Level. The objective is to familiarize students who have a sound foundation in Classical Greek with Medieval Greek language and philology by exposing them to primary sources, different kinds of literary genres, paleography and epigraphy, drawing on the resources of the Gennadius Library. The two Professors leading the session are Professor Alexander Alexakis, University of Ioannina, and Professor Stratis Papaioannou, University of Crete.

Format: The month-long full-time program will include daily translation of Byzantine texts; introduction to Greek paleography and Byzantine book culture; use of the collections of the Gennadius Library; visits to area museums and libraries including the Byzantine and Christian, Benaki, and Epigraphical Museums; and visits outside Athens including Corinth, Mistra, Thessaloniki, and Hosios Loukas. Individual tutorials and assignments for each student will be determined by specific needs and field of study. The language of instruction is English. Participants should plan to arrive on June 26, instruction begins on June 27, and participants should plan to depart any time on July 27, 2023.

Eligibility: The program is offered at the intermediate to advanced level for up to twelve graduate students in any field of late antique, post-antique, Byzantine or medieval studies at universities worldwide; preference may be given to students who have limited access to instruction in Byzantine Greek at their home institutions. A minimum of two years of college-level or post-doctoral Classical Greek (or the equivalent) is required. If there are available slots, post-doctoral scholars affiliated with any university worldwide may also be considered.

Academic Credit: The American School is not a degree-granting institution. No grades are given for its programs, nor are transcripts provided. Upon request, an optional final exam at the end of the program may be provided and the directors will write a letter to the participant's home institution, recommending that credit be granted, provided that the student has satisfactorily participated in the program and passed the final exam.

Costs and Scholarships: Twelve Leventis Foundation scholarships cover the costs of tuition, School fees, housing, required travel within Greece, and museum and site fees. International airfare to and from Greece, meals, and incidental expenses are the participant's responsibility. 

Applications: Submit online application, curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation (one from the academic advisor and one from a Greek language teacher), and scans of academic transcripts.

The Servane de Layre Fund for Research on Chartres Cathedral

The American Friends of Chartres has established a special fund honoring the memory of Servane de Layre (1939-2020), co-founder of Chartres--Sanctuaire du Monde, of the Centre International du Vitrail, and of American Friends of Chartres. Servane dedicated much of her life to the preservation of Notre-Dame de Chartres Cathedral, and to the pursuit and transmission of knowledge of medieval art, culture, and spirituality. In recognition of her contributions, she was made chevalier of the Légion d’honneur, officier des Arts et des Lettres, and officier de l’ordre national du Mérite. The fund is intended to support research that furthers her work.

Astronomical Anthology for Wenceslas IV, Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 826, fol. 8r, Introductory Diagram, Portrait of the Astrologer Terzysko, after 1400 (Photo: Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich)

An astrological curriculum prepared in Prague for Wenceslas IV (d. 1419), King of Bohemia, presents an ideal example of astronomical erudition in central Europe, 1390-1400 (Astronomical Anthology for Wenceslas IV, Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 826, made after 1400; Astrological and Astronomical Anthology with Alfonsine Planetary Tables, Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. 2352, ca. 1392-93; Aegidius de Tebaldis’ Latin translation of ‘Alī ibn Riḍwān’s Commentary on Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos/Quadripartitus, Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. 2271, ca. 1400). In recent years, there has been an efflorescence of scholarship rethinking the kinds of intellectual work diagrams perform and their relationship to memory practices. A rich new direction for the art historical study of medieval astronomical manuscripts seeks to recreate lost libraries and source materials from the texts and imagery on display, or ideas, culled for inclusion and lavish presentation in diagrammatic forms. Through a detailed analysis of an introductory series of diagrams associated with the late medieval court astrologer, Terzysko, aspects of the compiler’s craft surface on the folios of the Astronomical Anthology for Wenceslas IV. Arabic, Jewish and Christian astronomical and astrological traditions intertwine within these celestial diagrams, and their fusion invites a reconsideration of the pedagogical work they were intended to perform for period readers, most importantly King Wenceslas IV himself.

Following the lecture, attendees are invited to a reception in the Stronach Center located in Schermerhorn Hall.

ICMA Mutual Mentoring for Medievalists - Applications Due By 27 September 2022!

The ICMA Membership Committee is pleased to announce our newest initiative: Mutual Mentoring for Medievalists (MMM). While many aspects of conferences have successfully moved to online or hybrid models since the beginning of the pandemic, finding an online equivalent for conference social events has been more challenging. This initiative aims to help ICMA members create networks of mutual mentoring and support in an inclusive, virtual space. MMM will bring together small groups of people at different stages in their careers or positions in the academy based on shared interests. The aim will be to facilitate a first meeting among groups with the hopes that they will forge connections and choose to meet more frequently under their own direction. For those who would like to participate in MMM, please fill out this detailed survey by September 27th. Following this date, the organizers will be in touch with those who have responded to help coordinate meetings among people with shared interests.

To write about works that cannot be sensually perceived involves considerable strain. Absent the object, art historians must stretch their methods to, or even past, the breaking point. This concise volume addresses the problems inherent in studying medieval works of art, artifacts, and monuments that have disappeared, have been destroyed, or perhaps never existed in the first place.

The contributors to this volume are confronted with the full expanse of what they cannot see, handle, or know. Connecting object histories, the anthropology of images, and historiography, they seek to understand how people have made sense of the past by examining objects, images, and architectural and urban spaces. Intersecting these approaches is a deep current of reflection upon the theorization of historical analysis and the ways in which the past is inscribed into layers of evidence that are only ever revealed in the historian’s present tense.

Highly original and theoretically sophisticated, this volume will stimulate debate among art historians about the critical practices used to confront the formative presence of destruction, loss, obscurity, and existential uncertainty within the history of art and the study of historical material and visual cultures.

In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume are Michele Bacci, Claudia Brittenham, Sonja Drimmer, Jaś Elsner, Peter Geimer, Danielle B. Joyner, Kristopher W. Kersey, Lena Liepe, Meekyung MacMurdie, and Michelle McCoy.

The visit will be followed by a reception with refreshments and an opportunity for medievalists – both faculty and students – to network. Our hope is to reinvigorate the Utah Medievalist and Early Modernist association that has been somewhat inactive of late due to retirements, the pandemic, and the vast geographical size of our region coupled with the sparse distribution of medievalists and early modernists.

When: September 16, 2022 – 3:30-5 visit to Rare Books, 5-6:30 reception

Where: Rare Books Department, Marriott Library, University of Utah, Salt Lake City

Who: medieval scholars (faculty and students) at regional institutions including (but not limited to) U of U, Utah State University, Weber State University, Westminster College, Salt Lake Community College, Utah Valley University,  Utah Tech, Southern Utah University, Brigham Young University (about 25 people anticipated)

Organizers: Alexa Sand, Utah State University, alexa.sand@usu.edu; Meekyung MacMurdie, meekyung.macmurdie@utah.edu Both of us are manuscripts specialists, Meekyung with a focus on early-modern Islamic manuscripts, Alexa with a focus on late-medieval manuscripts from francophone Europe.
