Call For Papers: Ever Ancient, Ever New: The Tensions of Tradition and Mission, 49th International PMR Conference, Villanova University (1-3 Nov. 2024), Due 31 July 2024

Call for Papers

49th International Patristic, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies Conference (PMR) Conference

Ever Ancient, Ever New: The Tensions of Tradition and Mission

The Inn at Villanova University, November 1-3, 2024

Due 31 July 2024

As always, the PMR makes an OPEN CALL to scholars, institutions, and societies to propose Papers, Panels, or Sponsored Sessions in all areas and topics in late antiquity/patristics, Byzantine Studies, Medieval Studies, Islamic Studies, Jewish Studies, and Renaissance & Reformation Studies. 

The PMR committee this year makes a special invitation to scholars from all disciplines in these fields to address our plenary theme:

Ever Ancient, Ever New: The Tensions of Tradition and Mission

Featuring: Han-Luen Kantzer Komline the Marvin and Jerene DeWitte Professor of Theology and Church History at Western Theological Seminary, author of Augustine on the Will (OUP 2020)

And Neslihan Șenocak an Associate Professor of History at Columbia University, author of The Poor and the Perfect (Cornell, 2019)

The year 2024 marks the 750th anniversary of the passing of Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure of Bagnoreggio. Both were part of the mendicant movement that sought to live the vita apostolica in the cities and towns of a flourishing European culture suspended between an aristocratic past and a mercantile future. Both were educated at the University of Paris, and both taught there, mastering the tools of scholastic inquiry to try to bring classical and patristic texts into the dialectical engagement of an authoritative tradition.  The PMR commemorates their death this year, not by focusing on their individual contributions alone, but on the animating tensions between tradition and mission that lay at the heart of the mendicant orders and of the university.  What is the relationship between tradition and mission? Between the old and the new? Between the institutions of learning and the pastoral and practical need that summons scholars from the studia into the streets? These questions are not only for Paris in the 13th century. They are questions that animate Christian and, mutatis mutandis, Jewish and Islamic discourse throughout the Mediterranean world. This year’s plenary theme will explore these questions across the horizon of the Common Era from its early days to early modernity.

As is our custom, the call for papers will be open beyond our plenary theme, and scholars are encouraged to propose papers and panels on all aspects of the premodern Mediterranean and European cultures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Deadline for submission July 31, 2024
Notification by August 15, 2024

New Exhibition! Healing the Body, Healing the Soul: Methods of Therapy in Medieval Europe, The Walters Art Museum, 20 June 2024 - 15 December 2024

New Exhibition

Healing the Body, Healing the Soul: Methods of Therapy in Medieval Europe

The Walters Art Museum

Centre Street Building, Level 3, Medieval Gallery

20 June 2024 - 15 December 2024

Almugavar Hours W.420, The Walters Art Museum, fol. 278v (SS. Cosmas and Damian and decorative border with floral and faunal motifs and fantastical beasts)

Health, wellness, and healing are universal issues that have preoccupied people since the beginning of human memory. Medieval Europeans held the belief that the body and soul were connected and impossible to separate. Maintaining bodily and spiritual health was considered a constant but necessary challenge, and people of this time period dedicated significant effort and time to finding remedies for bodily and spiritual ailments. Many of these practices are reflected in the art and books of the time.

On view June 20, Healing the Body, Healing the Soul: Methods of Therapy in Medieval Europe explores the intimate link between body and soul as envisioned during the medieval period and demonstrates how works of art contributed to medieval European understandings of wellness and even aided in therapeutic practices.

Divided into three sections which address physical healing, spiritual healing, and the interlinked nature of physical and spiritual health, works in the exhibition examine medical theories, medicine in practice, saints and health, pilgrimage, and spiritual exercise. Featuring 23 works, visitors will see rare books and manuscripts from the Walters library along with medieval objects. To provide a contemporary perspective, the exhibition also includes a photograph by blind artist Pete Eckert from his Bone Light series. According to the artist, who creates light photography of his skeleton, the loss of his sight produced a phantom sense of light coming from his bones which he captures in illuminated portraits. The work speaks to the current lived experiences of people with disabilities and creates a link to understand how disability was understood during the medieval period in the context of body and spirit.

Curators: Orsolya Mednyánszky, Former Zanvyl Krieger Doctoral Fellow; Lynley Anne Herbert, Robert and Nancy Hall Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts; Lauren Maceross, Zanvyl Krieger Doctoral Fellow

This installation is generously funded by Supporters of the Walters Art Museum. To make a contribution toward this exhibition, please consider making a gift today.

Call for Papers: The Spectrum of the Early Medieval World: Exploring the Semiotics of Colour, The Australian Early Medieval Association, Camberra & Online (26-28 Sept. 2024), Due By 29 July 2024

Call for Papers

The Nineteenth International Conference of the Australian Early Medieval Association

The Spectrum of the Early Medieval World: Exploring the Semiotics of Colour

26 – 28 September 2024

Australian Catholic University, Canberra Campus and Online

Abstracts Due by 29 July 2024

Throughout the medieval era, colour served not only as a visual and aesthetic element but also as a powerful semiotic tool, delineating concepts of light and darkness, virtue and vice, conformity and deviation. The application of colour—whether vivid, subdued, variegated, or absent—was a deliberate choice by medieval authors, artists, scribes, and patrons, imbued with significant cultural, philosophical, and spiritual meanings. Colour held significant aesthetic and symbolic roles across various cultures. Colour also delineated social status through clothing and heraldry, providing essential visual cues in both daily life and on the battlefield. This period’s rich engagement with colour demonstrates its powerful role in communication and cultural expression, shaping individual experiences and societal values.

Potential themes may include:

• Chromatic Cosmologies: Exploring astrological and cosmological colour symbolism.

• Hues of Havoc: Examining the representation of climate and natural disasters through colour symbolism.

• Palette of Plagues: The use of colour in depicting disease and medicine.

• Wilderness Tinted: The depiction of wilderness and domestication through colour, exploring how these elements are represented across various media.

• Spectral Technologies: Investigating the interplay of colour with medieval technologies and superstitions.

• Sacred and Secular Shades: Analysing the use of colour in religious contexts, contrasting pagan and Christian iconographies.

• Cycles of Life: How biological cycles and human cultural expressions are conveyed through colour.

• Visions Beyond the Veil: The colour motifs associated with the natural and the supernatural realms in medieval thought.

• Eternal Colours: The symbolism of colour in the concepts of life and the afterlife.

• Contrasts of Creation: The use of colour to express dualities such as daylight and darkness, and what these represented in the medieval mindset.

• Monstrous Pigments: Investigating how colours contribute to the portrayal of monsters and totems in medieval iconography.

• Imaginative Spectrum: The role of colour in articulating the bounds of art and the imagination within a medieval context

In keeping with the inclusive spirit of AEMA’s annual international conferences, submissions may be thematically colourful—or not. There are no geographical limitations, only a requirement that submissions relate to the early medieval period (c. 400–1200 CE)—or its reception in later contexts.

Please email submissions for a standard 20-minute paper (+Q&A time) to conference@aema.org.au by 29 July 2024.

Each proposal should include: the presenter/s, their academic affiliation/s (if applicable), paper title, an abstract of 150-250 words, a short presenter/s biography of 50 words, mode of presentation (in-person or online), including the timezone if online. We also strongly encourage all prospective presenters to consider submitting a full version of their paper to our journal, JAEMA, for a planned special themed issue in 2025.

AEMA members who are either Graduates or Early-Career Researchers are eligible to apply for a limited number of travel bursaries, and will go into the running for our Best Paper Prize awarded to both an in-person and an online presentation. We look forward to submissions that offer vibrant insights into the chromatic dimensions of the early medieval world!

India (detail) from Livre des merveilles du monde (Book of the Marvels of the World), about 1460–1465, Master of the Geneva Boccaccio. Colored washes, gold, and ink. Getty Museum

Giant snails, dog-headed men, and ferocious dragons are just some of the marvels that appear in medieval accounts of locales far from Europe. In the Middle Ages, when long-distance travel was uncommon, many relied on stories found in manuscripts for both information and entertainment. Focusing on the written and illustrated legends of travelers ranging from Alexander the Great to Marco Polo, curator Elizabeth Morrison and scholar Mark Cruse discuss accounts of distant places that were often based on a mixture of facts, ancient folklore, and fantastic tales. Morrison and Cruse examine how looking at the world through its marvels can be revelatory for understanding society both in the Middle Ages and today.

Complements the exhibition The Book of Marvels: Wonder and Fear in the Middle Ages on view from June 11–August 25, 2024.

SPEAKERS
Elizabeth Morrison is senior curator of manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum. She is the co-curator of The Book of Marvels: Wonder and Fear in the Middle Ages.

Mark Cruse is associate professor of French at Arizona State University. His research focuses on the relationship between writing, performance, travel, and material culture in the Eurasian Middle Ages.

Call for Papers

The Sixth Biennial Conference of the Medieval Central Europe Research Network

Inclusion and Exclusion in Medieval Central Europe

Department of Medieval History, LMU Munich (Germany) 

19-21 February 2025

Due by 15 July 2024

The Medieval Central Europe Research Network (MECERN) invites you to Munich (Germany) for its Sixth Biennial Conference in 2025. The conference is dedicated to the complex social hierarchies and differences that permeated medieval societies and created various areas of tension. These could be rooted in different perceptions of ethnic, social, religious, and economic backgrounds. Also, in recent years, medieval studies as increasingly focused on the significance of gender diversity for medieval societies. Based on these developments, the conference investigates categories of difference, such as race, class and gender and their function for social inclusion and exclusion in the medieval world. We welcome contributions that deal with mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion and their impact on medieval community and identity building. In particular, we would like to encourage contributions with a special focus on gender-related topics.

Topics to be addressed may include, but are not limited to:

• Mechanisms of inclusion/exclusion: causes, functions, and impact

• Which categories of difference were referred to and used in medieval societies in different periods?

• Which contemporary stereotypes and (gender-based) arguments can be identified (e.g., ‘Hate Speech,’ Misogyny, Religious Polemic)?

• What symbols, or visual representations were used to mark, emphasize, and express social differences?

• Current debates in Medieval Studies: gender approaches and their relevance for interdisciplinary Medieval Studies, e.g., Gender Studies, Intersectionality, Queer Studies

We welcome proposals from scholars researching history, from political, social, cultural, economic, ecclesiastical, and urban, to art, literary, intellectual, legal history, historiography, auxiliary sciences, archaeology, and historical anthropology. Both individual and panel submissions are welcome. Panels will be 90 minutes; we recommend papers to be 15 to 20 minutes twenty minutes max. Please submit your proposals by Monday, 15 July, 2024 via https://www.mag.geschichte.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/netzwerke/netzwerk_mecern/index.html

Notifications of acceptance will be given by 15 September, 2024. Conference fees are waved for all participants due to funding by the Department for Medieval History (LMU Munich). Early career scholars can apply for conference travel stipends covering their accommodation during the conference. Applications for bursaries can be indicated in the submission form.

Call For Papers: Gender, Identity, and Authority in Late Antiquity, University of Tulsa (20-23 March 2024), Due By 1 October 2024

Call For Papers

Gender, Identity, and Authority in Late Antiquity

University of Tulsa, March 20-23, 2025

Due by 1 October 2024

The Society for Late Antiquity is pleased to announce the sixteenth biennial meeting of Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity, which will be held at The University of Tulsa, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We encourage papers that investigate issues and aspects of gender, identity, and/or authority within the broader late antique world, either in relation to one another or on their own. This thematic scope is intentionally broad, allowing for many different approaches and from a host of disciplines and methodologies. Gender, for example, might include the impact of religion or other factors on ideas of the family, sex, and sexuality, understandings of the nature of gender differences, or conceptions of identity and authority in relationship to the gendered or genderless self or other. Likewise, identity might focus on its self-perception or ascription by others, its potential to be malleable, situational, or contested, or its various components, like ethnicity, political allegiance, religious affiliation, or class. Finally, authority might interrogate its attribution to or expectation for a particular person (e.g., an empress or saint), place (e.g., Rome), or thing (e.g., a text or creed), the mechanisms for its attainment or rejection, such as tradition, merit, or force, or its realization of lack thereof, either as an actual fact or ideal.

Abstracts (no more than 500 words) for papers presenting original scholarship should be submitted for consideration no later than October 1, 2024.

Man's Crown, 400s–500s CE. X-Group (Ballana) Culture, Nubia, Ballana (Sudan). Silver, gemstones (including garnet, carnelian), and paste stones (glass); 20 x 15 cm (7 7/8 x 5 7/8 in.). Egyptian Museum, Cairo, 70455. © DeA Picture Library / S. Vannini / Art Resource, NY

Three centuries after the pharaohs of ancient Egypt ended their rule, new African rulers built empires in the northern and eastern regions of that continent. Spanning from the Empire of Aksum in present-day Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Yemen to the Christian kingdoms of Nubia in present-day Sudan, these complex civilizations cultivated economic, political, and cultural relationships with one another. The Byzantine Empire (Byzantium)—inheritor of the Roman Empire—also took part in these artistic and cultural networks as it expanded its footprint in northern Africa. Together, these great civilizations created their own unique arts while also building a shared visual culture across the regions linked by the Mediterranean and Red Seas, the Nile River, and the Sahara Desert.

Africa & Byzantium considers the complex artistic relationships between northern and eastern African Christian kingdoms and the Byzantine Empire from the fourth century CE and beyond. The first international loan exhibition to treat this subject, the show includes more than 160 works of secular and sacred art from across geographies and faiths, including large-scale frescoes, mosaics, and luxury goods such as metalwork, jewelry, panel paintings, architectural elements, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts.

Lent from collections in Africa, Europe, and North America, many works have never been exhibited in the US. Most were made by African artists or imported to the continent at the request of the powerful rulers of precolonial kingdoms and empires. The art and faith of these historical kingdoms—including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—resonate with many worldwide today.

The exhibition is organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Neuerworbene Elfenbeinschnitzereien aus der Zeit der gotischen Kathedralen

Der Bestand gotischer Elfenbeinschnitzereien des Museum Schnütgen konnte in den letzten Jahren um herausragende Stücke bereichert werden. All diese Neuerwerbungen sind zur Blütezeit des Elfenbeinhandels um 1250 bis 1350 entstanden und werden in einer kleinen Sonderschau in der Sammlungspräsentation gezeigt.

„Weißes Gold“
Geschnitzt aus den Stoßzähnen des Elefanten, waren die Kunstwerke aufgrund des seltenen Werkstoffs äußerst kostbar. Das Rohmaterial gelangte als Handelsware von der afrikanischen Ostküste über das Rote Meer und Ägypten nach Europa. Hier war es zunächst Frankreich mit Paris als Zentrum, das prachtvolle Erzeugnisse hervorbrachte. Die Einflüsse der Pariser Werkstätten reichten aber weiter, so auch bis nach Köln. Beispielhaft für die enge künstlerische Verflechtung von Paris und Köln im Mittelalter stehen ein Relief mit der Darstellung des Marientods und zwei Flügel, die ursprünglich zu kleinen Reise- oder Hausaltärchen gehörten und der persönlichen Andacht dienten. Eines der Gegenstücke zu den zweiflügeligen Altärchen befindet sich im Musée du Louvre in Paris, das andere gilt als verloren.

Teure Taschenspiegel
Neben den zahlreichen sakralen Objekten aus Elfenbein gibt es auch Luxusgüter für den profanen Gebrauch, wie Kämme, Prunkhörner, Dolchgriffe oder Spiegelkapseln. Als überaus prächtige Beispiele erweitern zwei solcher Spiegelkapseln in Form von exquisiten Gebrauchsgegenständen den bislang religiös geprägten Sammlungsbestand des Museums. Die aufwendig mit Schnitzereien verzierten Vorderseiten zeigen Darstellungen aus dem Themenkreis der höfischen Liebe. Die Rückseiten umfassten einst Spiegelscheiben aus poliertem Metall, ähnlich wie bei Taschenspiegeln. Diese Musthaves, welche sich noch heute in vielen Handtaschen finden, wurden also bereits im Mittelalter von den Damen hochgeschätzt.

Call for Papers: Emotions, Affects, Feelings: Asian and European Historical Encounters, Venice, Italy and Online (10-11 September 2024), Abstracts By 20 June 2024

Call for PaperS:

Emotions, Affects, Feelings: Asian and European Historical Encounters

Venice, Italy and Online

10-11 September 2024, Ca Foscari University of Venice

Abstracts By 20 June 2024

This hybrid workshop aims to analyse the religious and cultural encounters between Asia and Europe (before 1945) through the lenses of emotions, affects, and feelings. In the past decades, the affective/emotional turn has sustained the re-assessment, and increased our understanding, of many historical processes and contexts. From this point of view, scholarship has just started investigating the history of the encounters between Asia and Europe. This workshop intends therefore to promote scholarly discussion on this theme. We are especially keen to address the role of emotions in intercultural and interreligious communication, and we invite researchers to consider questions such as:

- How did emotions, affects, and feelings mark intercultural encounters?

- What role did emotions and their practices have in intercultural and interreligious communication?

- How have different cultures described each other from the point of view of emotions, affects, and feelings?

- What role did emotions have in the discursive belittling or subjugation of different cultures?

- How did missionaries, or other religious specialists, discuss and exploit emotions when proselytising?

- How have different understandings of emotions circulated through Asia and Europe, and how did they influence one another?

- How was the vocabulary of emotion and affect translated from one language to another?

- How have different understandings of emotion influenced contexts of cultural contact, such as port cities, entrepôts, merchant routes, etc.?

- How were objects catalysts of the circulation of emotions? Did affects change the perceived value or the uses of artifacts that travelled between Asia and Europe?

And many others.

Interested scholars can submit their abstracts (200 words) for selection, together with a short bio, to linda.zampoldortia@unive.it (Convenor: Linda Zampol D'Ortia) by the 20th of June 2024. Feel free to contact the convenor at the same email address for more information, including about available support for speakers.

We aim to publish selected papers in the conference proceedings. The working language of this workshop is English.

The conference approaches this process of saintly re/construction mostly, but not exclusively. from the perspective of:

Cransition and transfer

• known or lesser-known saints transferred and adapted in geographic areas which require further exploration such as Latin America in the Early Modern Period contributing to a global perspective on the creation and recreation of saints;

• Saints at crossroads of land and sea and patterns of transfer: between the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean. etc.;

• Cultural transfer and material culture of sanctity;

• Transitional periods and saints from the Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages: the Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period;

Interaction

• Adaptation to new cultural contexts and new peoples through religious discourses, hagiographic narratives, and de/construction of images:

• Local/regional incorporations, interactions, and adaptations:

• Interactions with images, transfers) and circulation(s) of iconographies;

• Local/regional. personal/collective devotional developments and practices:

Production

• Re/creation of saints and various media (statues, reliefs, panel paintings, manuscript illuminations, frescoes, stained glass, metalwork, mosaics, textiles, etc.):

• Re creation of saints in relation architecture:

• Production of (vernacular) religious/secular literature: sermons, hymns. (private/public) devotional prayers. miracle stories, visions, and conversion stories:

Announcement! Festschrift for Helen C. Evans, Sign No Later Than August 15, 2024

Announcement

Festschrift for Helen C. Evans

Sign No Later Than August 15, 2024

Fragment of a Floor Mosaic with a Personification of Ktisis (Byzantine, 500-550 AD)

Work is underway on a festschrift in honor of Dr. Helen C. Evans, Mary and Michael Jaharis Curator Emerita of Byzantine Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. We, Jennifer Ball, Christina Maranci, Brandie Ratliff, and Thelma Thomas, the editors of Beyond Byzantium: Essays on the Medieval Worlds of Eastern Christianity and their Arts. In honor of Helen C. Evans invite friends, colleagues, students, and scholars who have known Helen in some capacity to sign the tabula congratulatoria and join us in congratulating Helen for her outstanding career, service to our field, personal mentorship, and many publications.

Helen has advanced medieval studies through her teaching, exhibitions, and scholarship. Moreover, Helen’s service to the fields of Byzantine and Armenian studies and to art history and the museum profession more generally has been long and transformational. As president of the International Center of Medieval Art, she helped to broaden the scope of the field to envision a truly global Medieval world, encompassing Afro-Eurasia.

The volume, to be published by De Gruyter next year, is organized around themes that reflect Helen’s contributions to Byzantine studies, the global medieval world, Armenia and the Caucasus region, and curating and exhibitions. Given her extensive career, Helen has touched the lives of so many scholars that it made the task of determining the scope of this festschrift difficult. We invited participation from authors whom she has mentored directly or with whom she has collaborated closely on a project.

Now, we invite all to sign the tabula congratulatoria using this Google form: https://forms.gle/Rcs5hsRyYk9KfEW18. Please note that our tabula is a way to thank and congratulate Helen. We are not asking for any donation for the publication.

We ask that you add your name to the tabula no later than August 15, 2024.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at hcefestschrift@gmail.com.
