Roundtable: Approaches to Religion and Theatre Pedagogy
The Religion and Theatre Focus Group of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) is organizing a roundtable as part of its 2008 pre-conference. The pre-conference is scheduled for Wednesday, July 30 and the morning of Thursday, July 31, and will take place in Denver, Colorado.
We are seeking panelists who can speak about their experiences teaching courses on religion and theatre topics, or about how their work on religious and/or spiritual performance has influenced their pedagogy. Ideally, the panelists will reflect a range of interests and specialties within Theatre and Performance Studies so that a diversity of experiences and approaches are represented. We encourage practitioners, as well as scholars, to participate. We hope that this roundtable will serve as a space for interdisciplinary collaboration and provide an opportunity for productive discussion amongst panelists and attendees.
If you are interested in participating as a formal panelist, please email a brief description of your relevant experiences, along with your name, contact information, and affiliation to Jill Stevenson at jstevenson@mmm.edu no later than June 10th. Feel free to email Jill with questions about the roundtable as well.

Feminist Approaches to Medieval Art and Visual Culture: Past, Present, Future
We invite submissions for a special issue of the Medieval Feminist
Forum (volume 44 number 2) to address the past, present, and future
of feminist approaches to medieval art and visual culture. Some
contributors may wish to highlight the ways in which feminist
perspectives have enriched the understanding of medieval art or to
identify the contributions that studies of visual materials have made
to feminist work in medieval studies. Others may prefer to identify
dead ends to which feminism has led medieval art history or to
critique ways in which feminist scholarship on medieval visual
culture has been co-opted in a post-feminist age. We also welcome
essays on current research that utilize feminist approaches and
essays that seek to chart a path forward for feminist work on
medieval art. Inquiries from potential contributors may be addressed
to either or both of the co-editors of the issue:
Marian Bleeke, Assistant Professor of Art History
Department of Art, Cleveland State University
m.bleeke@csuohio.edu
Felice Lifshitz, Professor of History
Department of History, Florida International University
lifshitz@fiu.edu
The deadline for completed submissions, which should be sent via
email to Felice Lifshitz, is August 15, 2008. Style guidelines and
other contributor information for MFF are available on the website of
the Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship
(http://www.minotstateu.edu/mff/contributor.shtml).
***************************************************
Giving Credit Where Credit is Due: Neglected Contributions of Female Scholars
We invite submissions for a special issue of the Medieval Feminist
Forum (volume 45 number 1) to recover and highlight important
contributions by female scholars to any area of Medieval Studies. We
are particularly interested in original contributions that have been,
for one reason or another, underappreciated, neglected, or even
misattributed to (or falsely claimed by) male authors. It is expected
that the majority or even the totality of the examples will date from
several decades ago or more, but essays on important cases of more
recent vintage are also welcome. Inquiries from potential
contributors (including proposals for articles on other topics) may
be addressed to the editor:

AHRC-funded project
'Mapping Medieval Chester: Place and Identity in an English Borderland
City c.1200-1500'
School of Arts (Dept of English)
Post Reference: 4815
Salary scale: £25135 per annum
Closing Date: 05 Jun 2008
Description:
Swansea University seeks to appoint a Research Assistant to work on the
AHRC-funded research project 'Mapping Medieval Chester: place and identity
in an English borderland city c. 1200-1500'. The project will investigate
how a sense of place-identity and belonging were produced through local
engagements with the landscapes of an English medieval city and its
environs between c.1200 and 1500. The project is a collaborative
enterprise between teams in the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern
Research / English Department, Swansea University (lead institution), the
Department of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology, Queen's University
Belfast and the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College,
London, and will draw on interdisciplinary approaches to connect and
analyse cartographic and textual 'mappings' of medieval Chester. The
project will produce a set of online resources interlinking an interactive
digital map of Chester's urban landscape c.1500 with new editions and
translations of key texts (or textual extracts) and interpretative
apparatus. Other outputs include research papers and two dissemination
events: a public workshop in Chester and an academic colloquium at
Swansea. The researcher will be based at Swansea (though there are
possibilities for remote or e-working), working closely with the Project
Director, Dr Catherine A M Clarke.
The Research Assistant is required to produce an edition and translation
of passages from the twelfth-century Latin text De Laude Cestrie (In
Praise of Chester) for the project website. The Research Associate will
also contribute to wider project research, analysis and development, and
will have particular responsibility for organising the final academic
colloquium.
We seek to attract a researcher with excellent skills in Latin translation
and textual criticism, who holds a PhD (or is close to completion) in a
relevant area (e.g. Medieval Latin, Classical Latin, Medieval Studies).
The researcher should be able to work as part of a collaborative research
team and engage with interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives.
The position is fixed term for a period of 12 months, from 01 September,
2008.
Informal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to the Project
Director, Dr Catherine A. M. Clarke at C.A.Clarke@Swansea.ac.uk
(01792 295926).
We are an equal opportunity employer aiming for diversity in our
workforce.

Internationale Vereinigung für Germanistik / International Association for

28. Disparitäten und Spannungen im Mittelalter zwischen Laien-
und Klerikerkultur
Leitung: Kiening, Christian (Zürich, Schweiz; ckiening@ds.uzh.ch)
Ko-Leitung: Kugler, Hartmut (Erlangen, Deutschland); Kellner, Beate (Zürich,
Schweiz)
Lange herrschte das Bild des mittelalterlichen Universalismus vor, der
irgendwann beim Übergang zur Neuzeit zerbrochen sei. Dem gegenüber lassen
sich seit den ersten Missionierungsbemühungen in der Germania
Spannungsverhältnisse zwischen lateinisch-klerikaler Gelehrtenkultur und
volkssprachig-feudaler Adelskultur beobachten, die immer neu verhandelt
werden müssen: angefangen von den frühmittelalterlichen Versuchen, die
Botschaft des Evangeliums in die Sprache einer archaischen
Kriegergesellschaft zu gießen, über die Harmonisierungsversuche der sog.
höfischen Literatur bis zum dissonanten Schrifttum des Spätmittelalters.
‚Laien' bzw. ‚Kleriker' sind dabei nur heuristische Größen, da vielfältige
Interrelationen zwischen beiden Gruppen bestehen und die Denk- und
Wertmuster der einen immer auch auf die andere ausstrahlen. Die Sektion ist
für Mittelalterexperten gedacht, die am Spannungsgefüge der
mittelalterlichen Kultur interessiert sind. Sie soll Texte des 8. bis 15.
Jahrhunderts behandeln, wobei vor allem Texte von Interesse sind, die das
Spannungsverhältnis ausagieren. Willkürlich herausgegriffene Beispiele sind
da die frühe Bibeldichtung, die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen höfischer
Minne und Gottesliebe, sog. Alterslieder mittelhochdeutscher Dichter,
religiöse Kritik am Hof usw.
40. Pluralisierungsprozesse in der Frühen Neuzeit
Leitung: Müller, Jan-Dirk (München, Deutschland;
jan-dirk.mueller@lrz.uni-muenchen.de)
Ko-Leitung: Watanabe-O'Kelly, Shinji (Oxford, Großbritannien)
Die moderne Gesellschaft versteht sich als pluralistische. Die Ursprünge des
modernen Pluralismus werden im allgemeinen in der Frühen Neuzeit gesucht, in
der die konfessionelle Einheit Europas zerbrach, die aufstrebenden
Nationalstaaten sich endgültig an die Stelle der alten universalen Mächte
setzten, neue Welten neben der alten Welt entdeckt wurden, technische
Erfindungen wie der Buchdruck das verfügbare Wissen explosionsartig
vermehrten und neue Instanzen autoritativer Traditionssicherung sich erst
noch ausbilden mussten. Dies Bild ist insofern einseitig, als in vieler
Hinsicht (z.B. rechtlicher, brauchtumsmäßiger, sozialer usw.) das
Mittelalter bei weitem pluraler war als die standardisierte Neuzeit.
Pluralisierungsprozesse werden nämlich seit 1500 immer wieder durch Prozesse
der Autorisierung durchkreuzt, die die Vielheit zur Einheit zurückzuführen
sich bemühen. Ein bevorzugtes Feld der Auseinandersetzung ist die Literatur.
Die Sektion soll Texte vorstellen, in denen sich hergebrachte Ordnungen
zersetzen, in denen etablierte Autoritäten in Frage gestellt oder neue
Autoritäten propagiert werden und die die Vervielfältigung des Wißbaren und
der Tradition reflektieren, oder in denen umgekehrt die gefährliche
Infragestellung alter Autoritäten angeprangert, neue Ordnungen entworfen,
neue Systematiken durchgesetzt und die beginnende Pluralisierung gezähmt
wird. Solche Texte finden sich ebenso in der konfessionellen Debatte wie in
den frühneuzeitlichen Schwanksammlungen oder dem breiten didaktischen
Schrifttum. Die Sektion könnte deshalb alle an der frühen Neuzeit
interessierten Literaturwissenschaftler unter einer einheitlichen
Perspektive vereinigen.
49. Kontakt und Transfer in der Sprach- und Literaturgeschichte des
Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit

Ko-Leitung: Seelbach, Sabine (Opole/Oppeln, Polen); Scholz Williams, Gerhild
(St. Louis, USA)
Die neueren literatur- und sprachwissenschaftlichen Paradigmen erkunden und
überwinden auf vielfältige Weise die Grenzen zwischen Text und Kontext. So
öffnen sie den Text zu Vorgängern (Intertextualität) und Nachfolgern
(Varianz), spüren sie dem materiellen und körperlichen Ausdruckspotential
(Performativität) und dessen Aktualisierungen (Performanz) in verschiedenen
Epochen nach, setzen sie die aktuelle oder zudem konzeptuelle
Schriftlichkeit des handschriftlichen oder gedruckten Textes in Beziehung zu
den Medien Stimme, Geste/Handlung und Bild. Sie suchen ferner nach Spuren
seiner sozialen Konstruktion, Transmission, Rezeption und Transformation
(offener und geschlossener Text, Autorstatus, Autorisierung und Zensur,
Netzwerke, Genese einer Öffentlichkeit). Damit stellen sie dem individualen
Kontaktbegriff der traditionellen Transferlinguistik (der mehrsprachige
Mensch als Ort des Sprachkontaktes, die Rolle des Übersetzens) einen
dialogischen gegenüber, wie er neueren literaturwissenschaftlichen Konzepten
von Kultur (sowie von Inter- und Transkulturalität) und linguistischen des
Transfers (in der bis heute primär gegenwartsorientierten
Transferwissenschaft) entgegenkommt.
Wir planen diese Möglichkeit einer gemeinsamen methodologischen Basis
zukünftiger Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft zu sichten und auf ihre
Tragfähigkeit hin zu erproben. Das soll in der Sektion durch die Verknüpfung
von Theorie- und Korpusarbeit geleistet werden. Die Textkorpora können
synchron oder diachron angelegt sein, sollten aber in jedem Fall im
zeitlichen Rahmen von Mediävistik und Frühneuzeitforschung angesiedelt sein.

28. Disparitäten und Spannungen im Mittelalter zwischen Laien-
und Klerikerkultur
Leitung: Kiening, Christian (Zürich, Schweiz; ckiening@ds.uzh.ch)
Ko-Leitung: Kugler, Hartmut (Erlangen, Deutschland); Kellner, Beate (Zürich,
Schweiz)
Lange herrschte das Bild des mittelalterlichen Universalismus vor, der
irgendwann beim Übergang zur Neuzeit zerbrochen sei. Dem gegenüber lassen
sich seit den ersten Missionierungsbemühungen in der Germania
Spannungsverhältnisse zwischen lateinisch-klerikaler Gelehrtenkultur und
volkssprachig-feudaler Adelskultur beobachten, die immer neu verhandelt
werden müssen: angefangen von den frühmittelalterlichen Versuchen, die
Botschaft des Evangeliums in die Sprache einer archaischen
Kriegergesellschaft zu gießen, über die Harmonisierungsversuche der sog.
höfischen Literatur bis zum dissonanten Schrifttum des Spätmittelalters.
‚Laien' bzw. ‚Kleriker' sind dabei nur heuristische Größen, da vielfältige
Interrelationen zwischen beiden Gruppen bestehen und die Denk- und
Wertmuster der einen immer auch auf die andere ausstrahlen. Die Sektion ist
für Mittelalterexperten gedacht, die am Spannungsgefüge der
mittelalterlichen Kultur interessiert sind. Sie soll Texte des 8. bis 15.
Jahrhunderts behandeln, wobei vor allem Texte von Interesse sind, die das
Spannungsverhältnis ausagieren. Willkürlich herausgegriffene Beispiele sind
da die frühe Bibeldichtung, die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen höfischer
Minne und Gottesliebe, sog. Alterslieder mittelhochdeutscher Dichter,
religiöse Kritik am Hof usw.
40. Pluralisierungsprozesse in der Frühen Neuzeit
Leitung: Müller, Jan-Dirk (München, Deutschland;
jan-dirk.mueller@lrz.uni-muenchen.de)
Ko-Leitung: Watanabe-O'Kelly, Shinji (Oxford, Großbritannien)
Die moderne Gesellschaft versteht sich als pluralistische. Die Ursprünge des
modernen Pluralismus werden im allgemeinen in der Frühen Neuzeit gesucht, in
der die konfessionelle Einheit Europas zerbrach, die aufstrebenden
Nationalstaaten sich endgültig an die Stelle der alten universalen Mächte
setzten, neue Welten neben der alten Welt entdeckt wurden, technische
Erfindungen wie der Buchdruck das verfügbare Wissen explosionsartig
vermehrten und neue Instanzen autoritativer Traditionssicherung sich erst
noch ausbilden mussten. Dies Bild ist insofern einseitig, als in vieler
Hinsicht (z.B. rechtlicher, brauchtumsmäßiger, sozialer usw.) das
Mittelalter bei weitem pluraler war als die standardisierte Neuzeit.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR “NEW DIRECTIONS IN TEXT ANALYSIS”
The organizing committee of CaSTA 2008 also invites proposals from Canadian
and international scholars and practitioners working in any area of
technical or textual studies addressing the conference theme, “New
Directions in Text Analysis.” This will be the sixth annual CaSTA
conference, held in association with TAPoR (the Text Analysis Portal). The
two days of the conference (17-18 October) will feature keynote and plenary
addresses, papers, panels, and posters on a wide range of topics related to
the future of digital text analysis. Presentations might address such
topics as• changing notions of what constitutes a text
- the relationship of the material text (its physical manifestation) to the
ideal text (the text as an abstraction of words in a particular combination)
- editing and publishing digital texts for a changing readership
- new media and digital textual scholarship
- new tools and methodologies for text analysis
- digital texts and analysis in the scholarly mainstream
- working with graduate students and research teams
Abstracts of 500-700 words should propose presentations in one of three forms:
- Single papers (max of 3,000 words)
- Panels (three to five papers on a common theme)
- Posters (max of 750 words), either hard copy (approximately two square
metres of board space) or digital with terminal access provided. Posters
will remain on display throughout the conference and there will be a
designated session time for presenters to discuss their work.
Abstract proposals should include the following information: title of paper,
author's name(s); complete mailing address, including e-mail; institutional
affiliation and rank, if any, of the author; statement of need for
audio-visual equipment. Abstracts of papers should clearly indicate the
paper's thesis, methodology and conclusion.
CaSTA 2008 especially wants to encourage the participation of graduate
students, whose work is even now incubating many of the new directions that
this conference will begin to explore. Cara Leitch (PhD candidate,
University of Victoria) will conduct sessions of particular interest to
graduate students and to projects that involve significant student training
and participation. Travel grants will be available to students who travel to
attend the conference.
All accepted papers and posters will be published in the conference
proceedings, which will be available subsequently through the conference
Web-site. Abstracts will also be published on the conference Web-site prior
to the conference. Selected papers from the conference will be included in
a special issue of the peer reviewed journal, Text Technology.

TEI team at Oxford is once again offering special training in text
encoding principles and techniques. This year we have two workshops:
* XML, TEI, and beyond: July 21st-23rd 2008
This three-day course combines in-depth coverage of the latest version
of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Recommendations for the encoding
of digital text with hands-on practical exercises in their
application. If you are a project manager, research assistant, or
encoder working on any kind of project concerned with the creation or
management of large amounts of digital text, this course is for you.
* XML processing using XSLT: July 24th-25th 2008
This is a two-day technical course is a practical guide to the use of
XSLT to do more than simply render your XML documents. Aimed at
project research assistants, encoders, and programmers, it provides
in-depth coverage of the principles and practice of the W3C's
extensible Stylesheet language, focussing on its use as a general
purpose text manipulation and processing language.
Interested? Please register as soon as possible, as places are
limited. The two workshops are independent of each other, but we're
pleased to announce a 20% discount is available if you register for
both.

A Little Help and Discussion......
Over on another blog, in response to a list of journals in various fields by the AHRC, an early medievalist commented about not knowing where to publish: "EME (Early Medieval Europe)" was given an "A", but all else was "B" or less in that author's estimation.
As anyone reading this blog knows, it is attached and part of The Heroic Age journal. Our desire is not to "B" or less. So I'd like to open a discussion of what makes a journal an "A". Board members and readers? Quality articles? Publishing in Paper? Institutional support? How can we make HA a better journal for the early medieval community to publish in?

CBMA CFP
Writing, re-use, recording: the social practice of writing through
the medieval documentation of Burgundy
International Conference
24th -25th September 2009
Auxerre – Abbaye Saint-Germain
Organisation: UMR 5594 ARTeHIS [Archéologie, Terre, Histoire, Sociétés]
Sponsored by the Centre d’études médiévales d’Auxerre and the CBMA
programs (Chartae Burgundiae Medii Aevi)
colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com
Call for Papers
The medieval documentation of Burgundy, all types of media taken into
account, will be the starting point of a broader thinking, over an
extended period, on the customs and practices of writing, mainly
through documentary genetics and its transformations. This
documentation will form the subject of a comprehensive study
encompassing both internal and external aspects of the sources.
Consequently, we will look into the contexts and writing techniques,
principles and structures involved, in registering, assembling and
transmission whilst analysing how the works were used and re-used
over the years.
Within that perspective, these issues – the examination of
manuscripts and epigraphic inscriptions, the use and handling of
texts, graphic signs, correlation with representations…- will be
dealt with as well in the Middle Ages as in modern and contemporary,
historiographical and editorial works: history books and anthologies
of the 16th-18th centuries, scholarly editions of the 19th-20th
centuries, digitization projects of the 20th-21st centuries.
In bringing these various approaches together, from the abundant
documentation of Burgundy and the adjoining areas[2], and from the
comparison with other geographical areas, this conference aims to
take the recent medievalistic debates and questioning further, in the
field of literacy, in the archaeology of sources, and in the
epistemology of the historian’s work. The study of a “regional”
documentation is thus to lead to a reflection on medieval society.
Organisation:
International call for paper and selection of twelve proposals by a
scientific committee composed of French and foreign medievalists,
from outside the field of the studies of Burgundy.
Articles taken from submitted proposals which have not been selected
may be published in the conference’s proceedings.
Posters may also be displayed during the whole time of the conference.
Papers Submission:
Please send a one-page proposal with the title and a 330-word
abstract, along with your name, institution and contact details
(e-mail and address) by 25 July 2008 at the latest to the following
e-mail address: colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com. Papers may be given in
German, English, Spanish, French or Italian.
12 proposals will be selected along three criteria: scientific
interest, suitability with the conference’s topics and general
harmony of the meeting. The results will be sent by e-mail around
September 15th, 2008. In order to prepare the discussions, the texts
of the selected papers will have to be sent before September 1st,
2009.
Accommodation and food costs for the speakers will be borne by the
conference organisation. Travelling expenses may be partly borne for
the speakers who will make the request, as far as the obtained
financing will permit.
Posters Submission:
Please send a half-page poster proposal with the title and a 170-word
abstract, along with your name and contact details (e-mail and
address) by 25 July 2008 at the latest by e-mail to the following
address: colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com. Posters may be done in
German, English, Spanish, French or Italian.
Proposals will be selected along three criteria: scientific interest,
suitability with the conference’s topics and general harmony of the
meeting. The results will be sent by e-mail around September 15th,
2008. The selected posters will have to be made in the format A1 (594

Productions, remplois, mises en registre : la pratique sociale de
l’écrit à travers la documentation médiévale bourguignonne
Colloque international
24 et 25 septembre 2009
Auxerre – Abbaye Saint-Germain
Organisation : UMR 5594 ARTeHIS – Archéologie, Terre, Histoire, Sociétés
Avec le soutien du Centre d’études médiévales d’Auxerre et du
programme des CBMA (Chartae Burgundiae Medii Aevi)
colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com
Appel à communication
Le propos de ce colloque est de considérer la documentation
bourguignonne médiévale, tout support et forme confondus, comme
élément de départ d’une réflexion élargie et dans la longue durée sur
les pratiques et les usages de l’écrit, en prenant comme fil
conducteur la génétique documentaire et ses transformations. Il
s’agira ainsi de considérer cette documentation comme un objet, ou
des objets, d’étude globale, à l’intersection des contenus et des
matérialités tangibles. Dès lors, on s’intéressera aux contextes et
aux techniques de production, aux principes et aux structures de mise
en registre, d’assemblage et de transmission, et aux enjeux des
traitements et des remplois dans le temps.
Dans cette perspective, il sera question de traiter aussi bien de ces
problèmes dans les siècles du Moyen Âge – examen des manuscrits et
des inscriptions épigraphiques, usage et manipulation des textes, des
signes graphiques, corrélation avec les figurations… – que dans les
entreprises modernes et contemporaines, historiographiques et
éditoriales : histoires et recueils des XVIe-XVIIIe siècles, éditions
érudites des XIXe-XXe siècles, entreprises de numérisation des
XXe-XXIe siècles.
En faisant converger ces différentes approches à partir de la riche
documentation de la Bourgogne et de ses marges [1], et de la
comparaison avec d’autres aires géographiques, cette rencontre vise à
contribuer à l’approfondissement des débats et des interrogations
récentes de la médiévistique dans le domaine de la scripturalité, de
l’archéologie des sources et de l’épistémologie du travail de
l’historien des sociétés. L’enjeu étant de prendre l’étude d’une
documentation « régionale » comme point de départ d’une réflexion
générale sur la société médiévale.
Organisation :
Appel à communication international et sélection de douze
propositions par un comité scientifique composé de médiévistes
français et étrangers, extérieurs aux études bourguignonnes.
Possibilité de publication, dans les actes du colloque, d’articles
issus des propositions reçues, mais non sélectionnées pour
communication.
Possibilité d’affichage de posters pendant la durée du colloque.
Soumission des propositions de communication :
Les propositions de communication doivent être envoyées
impérativement avant le 25 juillet 2008, par courrier électronique à
l’adresse colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com. Elles doivent contenir en
une page le titre, l’exposé résumé du propos (environ 2000 signes ou
330 mots) et les coordonnées du proposant (courriel et adresse
postale). Les communications pourront être faits en allemand,
anglais, espagnol, français ou italien.
12 propositions seront sélectionnées selon trois critères : intérêt
scientifique, adéquation aux problématiques du colloque, équilibre
général de la rencontre. Les résultats seront communiqués par voie
électronique autour du 15 septembre 2008.
Pour préparer les discussions, les textes des communications
sélectionnées devront être transmis avant le 1er septembre 2009.

the medieval documentation of Burgundy
International Conference
24th -25th September 2009
Auxerre – Abbaye Saint-Germain
Organisation: UMR 5594 ARTeHIS [Archéologie, Terre, Histoire, Sociétés]
Sponsored by the Centre d’études médiévales d’Auxerre and the CBMA
programs (Chartae Burgundiae Medii Aevi)
colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com
Call for Papers
The medieval documentation of Burgundy, all types of media taken into
account, will be the starting point of a broader thinking, over an
extended period, on the customs and practices of writing, mainly
through documentary genetics and its transformations. This
documentation will form the subject of a comprehensive study
encompassing both internal and external aspects of the sources.
Consequently, we will look into the contexts and writing techniques,
principles and structures involved, in registering, assembling and
transmission whilst analysing how the works were used and re-used
over the years.
Within that perspective, these issues – the examination of
manuscripts and epigraphic inscriptions, the use and handling of
texts, graphic signs, correlation with representations…- will be
dealt with as well in the Middle Ages as in modern and contemporary,
historiographical and editorial works: history books and anthologies
of the 16th-18th centuries, scholarly editions of the 19th-20th
centuries, digitization projects of the 20th-21st centuries.
In bringing these various approaches together, from the abundant
documentation of Burgundy and the adjoining areas[2], and from the
comparison with other geographical areas, this conference aims to
take the recent medievalistic debates and questioning further, in the
field of literacy, in the archaeology of sources, and in the
epistemology of the historian’s work. The study of a “regional”
documentation is thus to lead to a reflection on medieval society.
Organisation:
International call for paper and selection of twelve proposals by a
scientific committee composed of French and foreign medievalists,
from outside the field of the studies of Burgundy.
Articles taken from submitted proposals which have not been selected
may be published in the conference’s proceedings.
Posters may also be displayed during the whole time of the conference.
Papers Submission:
Please send a one-page proposal with the title and a 330-word
abstract, along with your name, institution and contact details
(e-mail and address) by 25 July 2008 at the latest to the following
e-mail address: colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com. Papers may be given in
German, English, Spanish, French or Italian.
12 proposals will be selected along three criteria: scientific
interest, suitability with the conference’s topics and general
harmony of the meeting. The results will be sent by e-mail around
September 15th, 2008. In order to prepare the discussions, the texts
of the selected papers will have to be sent before September 1st,
2009.
Accommodation and food costs for the speakers will be borne by the
conference organisation. Travelling expenses may be partly borne for
the speakers who will make the request, as far as the obtained
financing will permit.
Posters Submission:
Please send a half-page poster proposal with the title and a 170-word
abstract, along with your name and contact details (e-mail and
address) by 25 July 2008 at the latest by e-mail to the following
address: colloqueauxerre2009@gmail.com. Posters may be done in
German, English, Spanish, French or Italian.
Proposals will be selected along three criteria: scientific interest,
suitability with the conference’s topics and general harmony of the
meeting. The results will be sent by e-mail around September 15th,
