Amazon and MP3 download. Oxford University Press, Examines how the British landscape shapes literary texts, and how British authors depict the wide range of landscapes in English literature. Pedagogical practices explored in this seminar will be applicable to any twenty-first century classroom. This panel invites reflection on the instructive role of feigned, imaginative, or counterfactual narratives in the later Middle Ages.
While we often attribute an ethical, action-oriented function to medieval storytelling, this panel seeks to understand the philosophical dimensions of fiction, its role in truth-telling and intellectual inquiry. How, presenters might ask, do fictional stories construct or organize knowledge? What types of knowledge empathic, mystical, natural, etc.
If Middle English literature should both entertain and instruct, how might humor, fantasy, or suspense generate particular ways of knowing?
Likewise, how could the truth-telling or knowledge-construction within fiction be a source of delight? Mary Raschko Whitman College Moderator: And so in the last 20—30 years medievalists have attempted to break down or through this divide.
Cultural Reformations, it is now worth asking whether what is gained by this revision is greater than what is lost. This session seeks position papers on the topic of periodization that address questions such as: Does one need an idea of the Middle Ages in order to teach and study it? What would replace traditional periodization were we to dispense with it?
Does periodization prioritize certain kinds of historical change, and, if so, what are they and why? Is the term used in recent English histories of drama—Tudor—more or less helpful? Recent work in cultural history and sociolinguistics suggests that the extent of Francophonie in England before may have been substantially underestimated. Contributors may also wish to discuss the intellectual implications of bridging the disciplinary gaps between English Studies and French Studies, or indeed those between literary and linguistic scholarship. Ardis Butterfield Yale University Moderator: This panel invites papers reconsidering the role of London's institutions in our assessment of Middle English literature.
Suggested topics might include: Carissa Harris Temple University Moderator: Definition of the "new field" of manuscript studies inaugurated by Doyle and Parkes in Kerby-Fulton et al. This session invites discussion of newly articulated evidence and newly recognized overlaps in manuscript study: Farrell Stetson University Moderator: Although surveillance is increasingly intrusive in our own lives, it's hardly a new phenomenon or concern.
Considerations of surveillance in a wide range of times, places, languages, and texts are particularly encouraged.
What are some of the ways surveillant processes occurred in the Middle Ages? What are some of the ways the post-modern present surveils the medieval past? What terms or concepts from contemporary Surveillance Studies are useful for thinking about surveillance in the Middle Ages? Australia, Israel, the Americas Paper Thread: Bruce Holsinger University of Virginia Room: In these and other texts, how is knowledge of the body newly grasped through for instance intimate observation, suffering, or intrusion?
How are these processes implicated in the knowledge-work of texts and textual genres?
Harris Temple University Moderator: This session invites papers on the linguistic structure and language politics of aureate poetry, drama, macaronic preaching, and religious, historical, or utilitarian prose in fifteenth-century England and on comparable linguistic and stylistic phenomena in other languages, centuries and places. Nicholas Watson Harvard University Moderator: Catherine Sanok University of Michigan Room: This recognition continues to encourage the reevaluation of scribal acts, as such features are often altered—or duplicated by design—with each recopying.
This seminar explores how we might define the grammatical function of rubrication, script hierarchies, paraph marks, initials, etc.
We welcome papers that consider any aspect of the relationship between prayer and lyric, but the following questions might serve as a starting point. Possible topics include three overlapping concerns. The Consolation of Philosophy. Like most of his contemporaries, Chaucer used gerunds primarily as nominals. And transcription seems like a quest for sameness, but it implies transferral, transition, difference.
Did they share these communicative systems through copying, or was each scribal utterance constitutive of a new idiolectical grammar? Making the Text Organizers: Astronomy mediates between the very large and the very small. This panel welcomes papers that use astronomy to think about scale.
How can astronomy help us understand literature that mediates or moves between vastly different scales? Does astronomy supply medieval poets with a language for thinking about scale? If it is possible to read on a cosmic scale, can we also see the stars on a literary scale? Middle English Literature at Scale Organizer: Kara Gaston, University of Toronto Moderator: In this session we seek to historicize medieval affect. Papers might consider the following questions: To what extent are objects and material contexts crucial for affective interaction in late medieval poetry?
What are the mutually constitutive relationships between gender and affect in late medieval poetry? How does affect matter in the construction of religious identity; can we speak of a specifically Jewish or Muslim affect?
