Every two years the Tucher’sche Kulturstiftung und das Germanische Nationalmuseum award a fellowship to a doctoral candidate for research on a topic in German art and/or cultural history and, if possible, with a connection to the history of the patrician family Tucher. Applications from abroad receive priority.

The fellowship pays a monthly stipend of € 1,500 and makes possible a six-month research stay at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. The earliest possible start date for the next fellowship is 6th June 2023.

While at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM), the fellow will:
• be supported by the museum’s curatorial and research staff,
• will have open access to the museum’s facilities,
• be welcome to participate in the museum’s various events.
Furthermore, they will be involved in the museum’s trainee program.

Prerequisites for a fellowship application are a master’s degree (or equivalent) with high marks, candidacy for a doctoral degree, and a very good and proven knowledge of the German language.

Required application materials (preferably in German):
• Research proposal (3 pages, 1.5 spaced), explaining one’s own interest in the topic, sketching the current state of the questions, describing preliminary work already completed, explaining how a stay at the GNM would advance the dissertation project and how it relates to the von Tucher family.
• Abstract of the research proposal (10–15 lines), which, if the fellowship is awarded, may be posted on the website of the GNM.
• Curriculum vitae, list of publications, study and work certificates (as applicable)
• 2 letters of recommendation

MURRAY SEMINAR SERIES AT BIRBECK

Tuesday, 6 December 2022, 17:00 – 18:30 GMT

History of Art Department, Birkbeck 43, Gordon Sq. London WC1H 0PD United Kingdom

A forgery, regardless of the criteria we may apply when studying it - evaluating its artistry or establishing its significance as an illustrative document of a given period - is a deception. The reasons for the production and commercialization of medieval fakes in Catalonia during the first half of the twentieth century are unique and specific, and they are explained by cultural, political and social conditions that, nevertheless, find points of contact in other parts of Europe. Similarities are found especially in those regions and states where medieval past forms a significant part of national historical roots. Catalan nationalism, the fascination with the Middle Ages and the general interest of the Barcelona bourgeoisie in medieval art has led to the appearance in Catalonia of a market for fakes that attempted to meet the growing demand. These are some of the issues addressed in the lecture, where we will deal with some of the most successful forgers, such as the Junyer brothers, and with fake works which, in their day, were certified as genuine by important scholars. Today some of them are in museums, while others make stellar appearances on the art market.

In fifteenth-century Florence, the phenomenon of religious theatre and ritual performance, promoted by adult and youth confraternities throughout the city, reached an unparalleled popularity, transitioning from the realm of devotion to that of the spectacular. The highlight of these performances was the materialisation of a multi-sensory heaven on stage and the appearance of its living angels (young Florentine boys) in their dazzling costumes. Painters living in the Santo Spirito quarter, where most of these activities took place, were actively involved in the creation of the apparatus for sacred plays. They were sometimes even members of the confraternities that produced the plays, as was, for example, Neri di Bicci, one of the most successful Florentine painters of the period.

INVENTING PAST NARRATIVES. VENICE AND THE ADRIATIC SPACE (13TH-15TH CENTURIES)

Brno, Centre for Early Medieval Studies, Hans Belting Library

Veveří 28, Brno, Czechia (60200)

In-Person Conference

12-13 December 2022

This conference aims to explore the dialogue between Venice and the Adriatic area from a specific perspective: the construction of the past. We would like to create a dialogue between specialists from various disciplines and also examine the validity of interdisciplinary approaches at the intersection of different cultural fields: textual and visual, material, and historiographic. The chronological and geographical perspective chosen covers the late Middle Ages and the early modern age and focuses on the interaction between Venice and other centres in the Adriatic space. This will indeed enable us to describe how the past is used to explore the mechanism of memory and recognition through which, when looking at artifacts or reading texts staging Venetian past, beholders are reminded of the shared values this past embodies.

ONLINE LECTURE: ICOM UK TALKS – HERITAGE IN CRISIS: IDENTIFYING AND COLLECTING UKRAINIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE, 14 December 2022, 12:30-1:30 PM GMT (7:30-8:30 AM ET)

ICOM UK TALKS – HERITAGE IN CRISIS: IDENTIFYING AND COLLECTING UKRAINIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE

14 DECEMBER 2022, 12:30-1:30 PM GMT (7:30-8:30 AM ET)

Ukrainians have lived in the UK for centuries and have long contributed to economic and cultural life here. A major wave of immigration happened after the Second World War, when thousands of displaced Ukrainians were unable to return to their homeland due to Russian persecution there. Many active communities became established across the UK and beyond – including London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and other towns and cities – where national customs and traditions have been kept alive and passed on to younger generations.

This final talk in the series will focus on identifying and collecting cultural heritage from Ukraine. We will consider the challenges associated with identification; the significance of collecting Ukrainian cultural heritage; how collections might be developed; and where to find relevant expertise. This knowledge may be invaluable when the time comes to rebuild and replace collections in Ukraine that have been damaged or lost as a result of the war.

Click HERE to book your place and/or donate

Speakers:

Maria Saluk, a Ukrainian conservator currently working with Kiffy Stainer-Hutchins & Co, fine art conservators based in Norfolk

Second speaker TBC

Attendees will be encouraged to review their own collections for objects that may require additional research to identify as Ukrainian – and to share thoughts on how to take this forward.

The series of talks is free to attend for ICOM UK and ICOM members, or you have the option to pay what you can via a donation ticket. For non-members, we ask you to pay what you can via a donation ticket. We suggest a donation of £5 – £10 per talk.

All donated income from the series (minus Eventbrite fees) will be donated by ICOM UK to ICOM Poland’s fund to support Ukrainian museum professionals fleeing Ukraine.

This online talk is part of a series of on-line lunchtime discussions about the destruction of global cultural heritage and how heritage professionals can help.

The series consists of three talks that focus on the war in Ukraine where cultural heritage is under attack. Through case studies and knowledge-sharing, practical actions will be identified for heritage professionals to use in support of Ukraine. Learning from the situation in Ukraine may, in turn, prove useful for responding to future crises elsewhere.

This pilot series is being organised by ICOM UK in collaboration with cultural experts from the Ukrainian Institute London* and the Ukrainian Institute in Kyiv**.

* The Ukrainian Institute London is a centre for Ukraine-related educational and cultural activities. The Institute is a charity registered in England and Wales.

** The Ukrainian Institute in Kyiv is a separate organisation, which promotes and develops cultural ties between Ukraine and other countries.

ICOM UK Talks – Heritage in Crisis 2: Decolonising Ukrainian cultural heritage

30 November 2022, 12:30-1:30 PM GMT (7:30-8:30 AM ET)

Part of the ICOM UK Talks – Heritage in Crisis: Ukraine collection

Decolonisation has become an important global debate. Much has been done in UK museums, galleries, libraries, archives and universities to uncover and address deep-rooted colonial views. Work in the UK has largely focussed on the legacy of the British Empire, but Russia’s war in Ukraine has revealed other sides to colonial power. One colonial narrative claims that Ukraine is simply part of Russia rather than a separate nation that regained its independence in 1991, while another asserts Russia’s superiority in terms of culture and heritage.

This talk will consider why Russian colonial narratives persist in the west and how heritage and cultural professionals can contribute towards developing a non-prejudiced narrative about Ukraine. We will explore practical steps that can be taken to ensure Ukrainian cultural heritage is appropriately catalogued, described and interpreted. This will play an important role in ensuring that the UK remains an important and trusted ally to Ukraine.

Speakers:

Mel Bach, Head of Collections and Academic Liaison / Slavonic Specialist at Cambridge University Library

Tetyana Filevska, Creative Director at the Ukrainian Institute in Kyiv (currently based in London)

Attendees will be invited to consider ways to improve their own cataloguing systems to ensure Ukrainian cultural heritage is searchable, accessible and appropriately described.

IN-PERSON AND ONLINE LECTURE: "THE CLEVELAND FOUNTAIN (PARIS, CA. 1320) AND MULTISENSORY ART HISTORY", 30 NOVEMBRE 2022, 15:00 CET (11:00 ET), AULA 11, COMPLESSO B. PELLEGRINO

"THE CLEVELAND FOUNTAIN (PARIS, CA. 1320) AND MULTISENSORY ART HISTORY"

30 NOVEMBRE 2022

AULA 11, COMPLESSO B. PELLEGRINO

Il giorno mercoledì 30 novembre 2022, presso l’Aula 11 del Complesso Beato Pellegrino, alle ore 17:00, Philippe Cordez (DFK - Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte, Paris) e Gerhard Lutz (Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland) terranno una conferenza sul tema “The Cleveland Fountain (Paris, ca. 1320) and multisensory art history”.

The hydraulic and musical fountain in the Cleveland Museum of Art offers a perfect opportunity for theoretical reflection and pratical experimentation in multisensory art history. It is a unique device of gilt and enamelled silver made in Paris ca. 1320. As exposed in a recent essay, a close comparison with the Fountain of Youth presented in text, image, and music in the Roman de Fauvel – a political satire recorded in a manuscript of 1317 (Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. fr. 146) – suggests that the same group of intellectuals and artists was involved with both creations. Indeed, the Cleveland fountain multisensorially evokes the Parisian royal palace as a divine Fountain of Youth rejuvenating the French Kingdom. Collaborative research with the Cleveland Museum of Art, using digital tools, aims at deepening our knowledge of the fountain’s material constitution, historical context, and festive performance.

L’evento è organizzato da Valentina Baradel e Zuleika Murat, nell’ambito del progetto ERC “The Sensuous Appeal of the Holy. Sensory Agency of Sacred Art and Somatised Spiritual Experiences in Medieval Europe (12th-15th century) - SenSArt” (grant agreement No. 950248).

Sono invitati a partecipare i dottorandi, gli specializzandi, gli studenti e tutti gli interessati.

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 GLADZOR GOSPELS (1300-1307 AD), FOLIO 469, WEDDING AT CANA, DETAIL. UCLA, ARMENIAN MANUSCRIPTS COLLECTION, NO. 1. IMAGE: HTTPS://DIGITAL.LIBRARY.UCLA.EDU/CATALOG/ARK:/21198/ZZ0009GX6G.

This lecture will focus on a period of medieval Armenian history – eleventh to late thirteenth centuries – that was characterized by a gradual deterioration and break-down of its until then traditional social structure based on land-holding military families known as nakharars. In this context a number of new military men, mostly with no illustrious lineage and/or previous connection to certain specific regions, rose to power. As they sought ways of legitimizing their control of recently conquered land and resources in various parts of historical Armenia, marriage alliances and, hence, the building of new family networks via women acquired increasing importance. This is especially true in the case of wives that came from older, prestigious dynasties which had lost or were about to lose their significance. There are also cases of women who were themselves from ‘new families’ but who played a key role in entering local networks of power in different ways. These general considerations will be illustrated on specific cases bringing to the audience’s attention the significance of women from (new or old) élite families, particularly from the end of Bagratid rule, and through Seljuk and Mongol (particularly Ilkhanid) periods. The inter-religious aspects of such family networks will be equally highlighted. Although the talk will address various regions of historical Armenia, greater attention will be paid to Syunik‘, reflecting my on-going research-in-progress.

Zara Pogossian is a specialist in medieval Armenian history, culture and religion, especially in relation to other peoples, cultures and religions in the Near East and Asia Minor. She is Associate Professor of Byzantine Civilization at the University of Florence, and the Principal Investigator of the ERC Project ArmEn: Armenia Entangled: Connectivity and Cultural Encounters in Medieval Eurasia 9th–14th Centuries. In her research, Professor Pogossian has explored such diverse topics as female asceticism and ascetic communities in early Christian Armenia, the role of women in the spread of Christianity in Armenia, monastic establishments and territory control, hagiography and cult of relics, and inter-religious (Jewish-Christian-Muslim) dynamics in medieval Armenia, among others. She has contributed significantly to the study of apocalyptic traditions in Armenian, especially between the 11th and 13th centuries. Her critical edition, with comments and a thorough historical study of Agat‘angel, On the End of the World, an anonymous Armenian apocalyptic text which reflects aspects of Late Antique Jewish-Christian debates, is forthcoming. She is the author of a book acclaimed by reviewers (The Letter of Love and Concord, Brill 2011), as well as numerous articles and book reviews. She has been the recipient of several prestigious fellowships, such as from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Käte Hamburger Collegium at the Center for Religious Studies (University of Bochum, Germany) and the International Consortium for Research in the Humanities (University of Erlangen, Germany). Dr. Pogossian is on the editorial board of the on-line journal Entangled Religions and a co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of Armeniaca: International Journal of Armenian Studies (first issue forthcoming in September 2022). She is one of the founding members and general editors of the series Eastern Christian Cultures in Contact (Brepols editors). She regularly serves on the evaluation committees of the European Institutes for Advanced Study (EURIAS), European Science Foundation, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

Speculative Geometry and the Opening Page of ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", Professor Arthur Bahr, University of Wisconsin-Madison (In-Person), November 18, 2022, 17:00-18:30 CST

Speculative Geometry and the Opening Page of “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”

Professor Arthur Bahr (Literature, MIT)

Weapons and wounds feature prominently in the first illustration of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which depicts the Green Knight’s entry, challenge, and beheading in a single tableau. As this talk will show, these weapons are more than thematic; they also help create a complex set of embedded triangles whose angles and sight-lines preview the poem to come. This is significant because the first page of the poem, which appears opposite this illustration on folio 91/95r, is like none other in the manuscript—especially its large, eleven-line gap at the top of the page. Although not representationally illustrative like its facing page, the anomalous text-block of 91/95r nevertheless illustrates the perceptual challenges posed by Sir Gawain’s literary and numerical structures. The 90/94v+91/95r opening thus previews and enacts, in miniature, the challenges and delights of the poem it introduces. Read closely, and speculatively, it offers additional interpretive tools with which to chase the endless, gordian knot of Sir Gawain.

The lecture will be preceded by a graduate student and faculty workshop at 14:00 CST. Please contact Professor Lisa Cooper (lhcooper@wisc.edu) to participate.

Co-sponsored by the University of Wisconsin–Madison Medieval Studies Program, the Anonymous Fund, and the Department of English.

CFP: MNEMOSΥNE: Forgetting, Remembering, and Rediscovering Classical Antiquity, Postgraduate and Early Career Conference (In-Person) 4-5 May 2023, DEADLINE November 25, 2022

MNEMOSΥNE 
Forgetting, Remembering, and Rediscovering Classical Antiquity

A Postgraduate Symposium (In-Person) 
With a Keynote Speech from Prof Constanze Güthenke

4-5 May 2023

Senate House, London

DEADLINE: 25 November 2022

The Warburg Institute, in conjunction with the Institute of Classical Studies, will host its fourth Postgraduate Symposium: Mnemosyne: Forgetting, Remembering, and Rediscovering Classical Antiquity. 

In Antiquity, Mnemosyne, goddess of Memory, was the mother of the muses who were considered the source and mediating function of all knowledge expressed in the arts, myths and sciences of their time. The embodiment of ancestral memory endures to this day in sites, processes and narratives of contemporary culture, which capture the human imagination and where a sense of continuity is persistent, interrupted, rediscovered or diverted.  

The aim of this conference is to explore the role of memory in the survival of classical culture across the centuries. It traces the repetition or discontinuity of the classical as it flows, crystallises, or is disrupted, in various aspects of cultural expression. 

Please note that this is an in-person event. Registration will open shortly. 

Call for Papers

Possible themes may include but are not limited to:   

Arts and Heritage 

• Collecting and exhibiting cultures: fashioning, distorting and preserving memory in the history of collecting. How do museums and archives function as sites of memory? How has the memory of the classical world been produced, sustained, or contested by means of the collection, preservation, and display of antiquities?     

• The survival of classical images: reappearance and reinterpretation of figural motifs and themes from the Renaissance to present times (narratives, allegories, personifications, pathosformeln). 

• Making and unmaking memory: the construction and destruction of monuments (damnatio memoriae) as a means of preserving and erasing memory.  

• Critical heritage studies: What is does the “reconstruction” or “conservation” of ancient heritage sites involve, practically and ethically? What does it mean to remember with ruins? 

Psychological and religious narratives 

• Soul and soul-making: Remembering, forgetting and rediscovering classical antiquity in psychological theories and practices across time and space. How is classical mythology, philosophy and literature received in the works of psychoanalysts like Jung and Freud?  

• Revisioning and reinterpreting ancient motifs in spiritual practices as they appear in the sciences, arts and society from antiquity to the present. For example, how do ancient theurgic rituals reappear in later liturgical and magical practices? 

• Cognitive classics: How can modern psychological insights into the nature of visual, spatial, episodic, and auditory memory aid us in the study of the ancient world and its survivals?  

Sites of preservation and transmission 

• Mnemotechnics: Using the ‘method of places’ (loci), whereby symbols are arranged within imagined architectural space, ancient people were capable of performing prodigious feats of recollection. How have the ancient memory arts been received in later rhetoric, philosophy, religion, magic and other fields? 

• Methods of information management and their impact on memory production: In the modern era, the art of memory has been supplanted by systematic techniques of cataloguing, indexing, and digitisation. How do these methods for recording antiquity shape the way classical culture is remembered and received, from encyclopaedias to twenty-first century digital classics projects? 

• Speak Memory: in early antiquity, poetic performance was fundamentally an art of memory, with the Homeric rhapsode being able to recall songs of prodigious length from memory. How has the classical oral tradition been received and re-activated in later performance arts, including spoken poetry and music? 

We invite papers of 20 minutes in the fields of art history, intellectual history, cultural history, psychology, Renaissance studies, literary studies, media and film studies, museum/heritage studies, and related disciplines. 

The Symposium is intended for postgraduate students and early-career researchers. Proposals should be sent to mnemosyneconference@gmail.com by 25 November 2022. This should include: 

• An abstract, in English, of no more than 300 words, for a 20 minute paper, in PDF or Word format.

• A short biography of one paragraph, indicating full name, affiliation, and contact information.

The organisers wish to express their gratitude to the Classical Association and the Society for Neo-Latin Studies for sponsoring the event. Limited funding is available to help cover travel expenses.
