Gender and Class in Byzantine Society

Gender and Class in Byzantine Society: XVIth Biennial Conference of the
Australian Association for Byzantine Studies

16-18 April 2010, University of New England

Call for Papers and Registration Open

http://home.vicnet.net.au/~byzaus/conferences/16th2010/

The Australian Association for Byzantine Studies calls for papers for its
XVIth Biennial Conference. The conference is being held in honour of
Professor John Melville-Jones and the theme will be 'Gender and Class in
Byzantine Society'.

Plenary speakers:

Dr Tom Brown, Reader, School of History, Classics and Archaeology, The
University of Edinburgh
Professor John Melville-Jones, Classics and Ancient History, University of
Western Australia
Dr Shaun Tougher, Senior Lecturer in Ancient History, Cardiff University (to
be confirmed)

Gender and class were key social indicators in Byzantine society, as in many
others. However, masculine and feminine roles were not always clearly
defined, while eunuchs made up a 'third gender'. Social status was also in a
state of flux, as much linked to patronage networks as to wealth, as the
Empire came under a series of external and internal pressures. This fluidity
applied in ecclesiastical as much as in secular spheres. We welcome papers
on all aspects of the theme of gender and/or class from the 4th to the 15th
centuries, from the Greek East to the westernmost reaches of the Byzantine
Empire.

Contributors are invited to interpret the theme broadly and we welcome
submissions from all fields. Both scholars with academic affiliation and
working independently, as well as postgraduate students, are encouraged to
apply.

Registration is now open.

The Conference will be held 16-18 April 2010 at the University of New
England in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.

Further details including registration, conference location and
accommodation options are available on the conference web site.

Please submit abstracts of up to 500 words in length to:

We invite abstracts in medieval and Early Modern studies that

philosophy, theology, history and music. Student sessions welcome.
Undergraduate posters are encouraged.

Undergraduate session includes posters, art, interactive exhibits,
and multimedia presentations. Each display must include a brief
explanation or hand-out. These should be designed to initiate
thoughtful discussion about each student’s research and project
goals. Projects may be set up at any time; however, students must be
present during judging (TBA). Undergraduate students require a formal
sponsorship letter from a faculty member with whom they have
acquaintance. There will be a reduced entry fee for poster

Dinshaw, the author of Getting Medieval: Sexualities and
Communities, Pre- and Postmodern and Chaucer’s Sexual Poetics,

Index of Christian Art

The Index of Christian Art is pleased to announce that the Svetlana
Tomekovic Database of Byzantine Art is now available on its website.

http://ica.princeto n.edu/tomekovic/ index.php

Before her untimely death, Svetlana Tomekovic photographed many
monuments of Byzantine art from Russia to Italy. Unfortunately, these
were not fully catalogued or described apart from her cursory notes in
French on the actual images themselves.

The Index of Christian Art was pleased to digitize the collection and to
make them available for public use in advance of them being more fully
catalogued and described in its database.

We suspect there are errors in these descriptions and would appreciate
hearing from you as to any that you may find. The database is a simple
structure designed for easy access but it does contain many images of
interest that we hope will be of use.

Simple instructions as to how the database works are given in the
introduction and to enlarge the images simply click on them.

Director, Index of Christian Art

DH2010 conference

As in previous years, the days 3-6 July, before the DH2010 conference (7-11 July at King’s College London ) have been set aside for community-run workshops. One can reach a diverse and committed body of participants in the Digital Humanities at DH2010. Do you or your project have a workshop up your sleeve that would interest this Digital Humanities community?

Half- or one-day slots are available for workshops, which need to be self-organized and self-funding. KCL can provide space for the workshop at no or low cost, so it is likely that the costs per participant would be low.

We would like to receive proposals for such workshops.

In your full proposal (total 500-800 words), please include:

(1) a brief description of the workshop programme, the project or community out of which it arises, the trainers who will run the workshop, and its proposed length;

(2) what is the demand for this workshop, and who do you expect the audience to be? What minimum number of attendees would be needed for you to do the workshop?

(3) what funding is available or will you seek to help to support the costs of this workshop (for instance, travel for trainers, lunch or refreshments for participants, as applicable)?

A few groups have already expressed interest in running workshops, and we have been talking informally with them. If you have ideas that is not yet fully formed, we would be delighted to e-speak to you about them before you submit a proposal.

The closing date for full proposals will be 31 December 2009. Please send them via email to both John Bradley (john.bradley@kcl.ac.uk) and Gabriel Bodard (gabriel.bodard@kcl.ac.uk).

Parliament Rolls of Medieval England web site

British History Online at the Institute of Historical Research (http://www.british-history.ac.uk) would like to announce an important new addition to its premium content section: the Parliament Rolls of Medieval England (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/prome). This source consists of scholarly descriptions of every parliament held in England between 1275 and 1504. It covers 10 monarchs, from Edward I to Henry VII (since no parliament was held in the reign of Edward V, he is not included). The rolls for some of these parliaments, particularly the earlier ones, do not survive, but where they are extant have been fully transcribed; supplementary material about the business of the parliament is given in an appendix. Opposite the original text, which may be in Latin, Anglo-Norman, or Middle English, is a modern English translation. To make PROME e asier to use, the text and translation have been put into tables, so that the corresponding paragraphs are simple to locate.

Medieval Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age: 17-22 May 2010

Medieval Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age: 17-22 May 2010

The Institute of English Studies (London) is pleased to announce the
second year of this AHRC-funded course in collaboration with the
University of Cambridge, the Warburg Institute, and King's College
London.

The course is open to arts and humanities doctoral students registered
at UK institutions. It involves six days of intensive training on the
analysis, description and editing of medieval manuscripts in the digital
age to be held jointly in Cambridge and London. Participants will
receive a solid theoretical foundation and hands-on experience in
cataloguing and editing manuscripts for both print and digital formats.

The first half of the course involves morning classes and then visits to
libraries in Cambridge and London in the afternoons. Participants will
view original manuscripts and gain practical experience in
applying the morning's themes to concrete examples. In the second half
we will address the cataloguing and description of manuscripts in a
digital format with particular emphasis on the Text Encoding
Initiative (TEI). These sessions will also combine theoretical
principles and practical experience and include supervised work on
computers.

The course is aimed principally at those writing dissertations which
relate to medieval manuscripts, especially those on literature, art and
history. There are no fees, but priority will be given to PhD students
funded by the AHRC. Class sizes are limited to twenty and places are
'first-come-first-served' so early registration is strongly recommended.

University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia (http://www.unizd.hr/) Full information at: http://www.ffos.hr/lida/ Email: lida@ffos.hr.

The annual international conference Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) addresses the changing and challenging environment for libraries and information systems and services in the digital world. Each year a different and “hot” theme is addressed, divided in two parts; the first part covering research and development and the second part addressing advances in applications and practice. LIDA brings together researchers, educators, practitioners, and developers from all over the world in a forum for personal exchanges, discussions, and learning, made easier by being held in memorable locations.

Themes LIDA 2010

Part I: DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP: support by digital libraries Contributions (types described below) are invited covering the following topics:

* Research, practices, and values related to digital scholarship, including conceptual frameworks that emerged

* Contemporary nature of the scholarly information and communication environment in general and as involving digital libraries in particular

* Developments in digital humanities

* Navigating shifting patterns of scholarly communication

* The impact digital libraries have on digital scholarship and on education in various fields, and vice versa; the impact of digital scholarship on digital libraries

* Studies on how faculty, researchers, and students make use of digital scholarly resources for their research or in education

* Practices that emerged in libraries related to support of digital scholarship, such as resource/collection building, digitization, preservation, access, services and others;

* International aspects of digital libraries with related trends in globalization and cooperative opportunities for support of digital scholarship;

* Research and discussions on general questions: How are we to understand new forms of scholarship and scholarly works in their own right? How are we to respond in digital libraries? What are the opportunities and challenges?

Part II: DIGITAL NATIVES: challenges & innovations in reaching out to digital born generations

Contributions (types described below) are invited covering the following topics:

* Research and discussions on general questions: who are these digital natives? How they are different from older generations – or digital immigrants – and what is the world they’re creating going to look like?

* The impact of digital natives on libraries;

* Digital libraries and social networks on the Web;

* The cultural and technological challenges faced by digital libraries in serving digital natives;

* Examples of library services specifically aimed at digital natives

* Efforts by libraries to help people that are more digital immigrants to become more digitally natives

* Role of libraries in e-learning and education in general

* Is the future of libraries closely associated with how successfully they meet the demands of digital users?

Types of contributions

Invited are the following types of contributions:
1. Papers: research studies and reports on practices and advances that will be presented at the conference and included in published Proceedings
2. Posters: short graphic presentations on research, studies, advances, examples, practices, or preliminary work that will be presented in a special poster session. Proposals for posters should be submitted as a short, one or two- page paper.
3. Demonstrations: live examples of working projects, services, interfaces, commercial products, or developments-in-progress that will be presented during the conference in specialized facilities or presented in special demonstration sessions.
4. Workshops: two to four-hour sessions that will be tutorial and educational in nature. Workshops will be presented before and after the main part of the conference and will require separate fees, to be shared with workshop organizers.

Making Senses of the Past: Toward a Sensory Archaeology

Making Senses of the Past: Toward a Sensory Archaeology

27th Annual Visiting Scholar Conference, Center for Archaeological
Investigations, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA.

March 26-27, 2010

Human interaction with the surrounding world is mediated through our
senses. Yet archaeological interpretation has traditionally been
dominated by visual descriptions, thus effectively marginalizing the
senses of smell, taste, hearing, and touch as unmeasurable ways of
engaging with the world. This has led to a silent, odorless,
disembodied, and sense-less past. Recent work, however, has explored
alternative ways to make sense of past societies, investigating
soundscapes, olfactory and haptic analyses, and somatic memory, as
well as other less tangible visual qualities such as shimmer and
color.

This conference will bring together researchers who share an interest
in such sensory modes of approaching the past, and it will cross
boundaries between chronological periods, geographical regions, and
material specializations.

Potential themes for papers include, but are not limited to:

* the presentation of new results of sensory archaeological projects
* * multisensory and synesthetic aspects of the production and
consumption of material culture * * the recognition of sensory
hierarchies in past societies * * embodied practices, including
memory * * the dissemination of sensuous pasts in the present *


Submissions
Please submit a 300 word abstract plus title to Dr. Jo Day (contact
details below). PDF files are preferred. Presentations will be
limited to 25-30 minutes. Deadline for submission: 1st December 2009.
The CAI selection committee will review the abstracts, and authors
will be notified of the decision in mid-December. Papers are eligible
for inclusion in a peer-reviewed volume published in the Occasional
Papers series of the Center for Archaeological Investigations.

Conference attendance is open to all. For registration details and
other information see:

Second International Conference on Comparative Historical Graphemics

Zweite internationale Tagung zur vergleichenden historischen Graphematik




The (Dis)ambiguity of the Grapheme


Das Graphem zwischen Eindeutigkeit und Doppeldeutigkeit




Munich University (LMU)



9 – 11 September 2010



Organizers: Hans Sauer and Gaby Waxenberger





While the first conference in Zurich in 2008 gave an overall introduction to
the wide field of historical graphemics, we wish to focus on the grapheme
including both positional and free allographs and their relationships
regarding phonemes and allophones.



We therefore welcome contributions relating to the historical stages of the
European languages and writing systems, with regard to the following
questions:



1. Depiction of sounds by characters: is it always the 'perfect fit' (one
grapheme = one phoneme)?



2. Ways of reflecting language change by graphemes and allographs: Reduction
or extension of the characters in the system.



3. New characters - obsolete characters: Necessity of creating new
characters for the system or reactivating old ones?

Call for Papers Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age II -

Call for Papers
Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age II -

It is only a year since the Institute of Documentology and Scholarly
Editing (IDE) undertook an initiative entitled "Codicology and
Palaeography in the Digital Age". Yet its first results have already
been written up and published: in July 2009, the anthology
"Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age" was launched at an
international symposium in Munich. Here, experts from all over the
world met as a community to share their knowledge, interests and
concerns regarding digital issues in the various fields of manuscript
research.

The feedback on both the anthology and the conference has been
remarkably positive, not least from experts who are less acquainted
with digital methods. For the first time, widely dispersed,
cutting-edge research in the field of computer-aided codicology and
palaeography can be surveyed and assessed as a whole phenomenon.

Yet, despite the fact that the anthology gives a broad insight into
theory and practice, some relevant subjects and questions have not
been covered. For this reason the IDE plans to publish a second
volume of "Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age". The
following questions in particular should now be addressed:

* To what extent can quantitative approaches and the analysis of
codicological databases be complemented by a systematic analysis of
digital manuscript facsimiles?
* How can manuscript-related research in the history of arts or
in musicology be supported by digital tools and methodology?
* How successfully can methods from the sciences be applied to
the analysis of manuscripts (e.g. DNA analysis of parchment)?
* How can electronic manuscript-catalogues and virtual libraries
be brought together by means of comprehensive portals and hybrid
research environments in order, for example, to facilitate exhaustive
semantic studies?
* How can existing digital tools for palaeographic transcription
be promoted and improved? How can the range of applications be
expanded? How can philological analysis and further use in literary
studies be enhanced?
* How can questions about the history of script be addressed by
digital methods?
* How can digital resources best supplement the originals, in
the context of restoration and preservation? How can archives,
libraries and museums take advantage of the opportunities, for public
benefit?
* To what extent are software-generated answers to codicological
and palaeographic questions sustainable, verifiable and reliable?

Contributions which explore these and similar subjects (cf. previous
CfP) are most welcome and can be submitted in English, French, German
or Italian. Again, the launch of the volume will be accompanied by an
international symposium. Proposals of not more than 500 words should
be sent by 30 November 2009 to kpdz-ii@ide.de or any of the editors
listed below.

Organisation:

* Franz Fischer (Royal Irish Academy, Dublin), f.fischer@ria.ie

Hugoye CFP

Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, available electronically and in-print, is seeking submissions for the 2011 issues. Please send papers to George Kiraz at gkiraz@gorgiaspress.com. Please put in the subject line "Hugoye Journal Submission".

James of Edessa

I've placed online an English translation of the table of years and events in the Chronicle of the Syriac writer James of Edessa. This continues the table in the Chronicle of Eusebius of Caesarea from where that ends, in 325 AD, down to the early Islamic period ca. 700 AD. Naturally it focuses on eastern events, and includes one of the earliest mentions of Mohammed.

The material is here:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm#James_of_Edessa_Chronicle

The original publication of this material was frankly a mess. I've written a preface explaining a bit more clearly what we're looking at. I've also uploaded the translator's preface, and also translated the Latin preface by the same editor to his publication of a Latin translation some years later. In addition I've added fragments from Elias of Nisibis scattered across the publications.

All this material is public domain, so please help yourselves, do whatever you like with it, place copies online and so on.

Other free material by the fathers can be found in the same collection:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm

If you want to support the work of the site, a CDROM is available for $37:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/all_the_fathers_on_cd.htm

Funds from sales are currently going to pay translators to do the homilies on Ezechiel of Origen, the Gospel problems and solutions of Eusebius, and a 13th century catalogue of Arabic Christian literature by Abu'l Barakat which should help us see what patristic material got into that language. None of these have been translated before.

All the best,

Roger Pearse

An email to the Textual Criticism list from James Snapp is worth sharing hither and yon:

I've been delving into the Old Latin and early Vulgate evidence, and found some good (or at least good-looking) online resources. Instead of links, here are key-words to take you to them (at Google Books or Archive.org or both), with descriptions of what you will find.

Wordsworth White Novum Testamentum Latine: several volumes of WW's works on the Old Latin and Vulgate.

Abbott par palimpsestorum dublinensium: T. K. Abbott's presentation of the Greek Codex Z (presented in printed uncials to replicate the arrangement of text on the MS-pages), with two pages from Old Latin Codex Palatinus (containing Matthew 13:13-23) as an appendix.

Lawlor Chapters Book Mulling: "Chapters on the Book of Mulling," a nice review of the Book of Mulling with plenty of information about other Insular (Irish) Gospels-MSS.

John Stuart Book of Deer: the introduction tells you more than you will ever need to know about the background of the Book of Deer. The text is presented, with numerous Plates.

Hopkins-James Celtic Gospels: an excellent introduction to the Old Latin and early Vulgate materials in general, and to the St. Teilo/Chad Gospels in particular.

Lindisfarne Rushworth: a two-volume transcription of the contents of the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Rushworth Gospels.

Abbott Evangeliorum Antehieronymiana: T. K. Abbott's not-entirely-reliable but still serviceable collation of Codex Ussheriani, Codex Amiatinus, the Book of Kells, and the Book of Durrow.

Sullivan Book of Kells: a nice profile of the Book of Kells, with Plates in full color.

Buchanan Corbeiensis: an introduction to Codex Corbeiensis (ff2), with a transcription formatted to approximate the appearance of the text on the MS-pages.

Belsheim Codex Colbertinus: a no-frills transcription.

Also, if you have a high-speed internet connection, you should be able to view the "Turning the Pages" presentation of selected pages from the Lindisfarne Gospels at the British Library website, and the St. Chad Gospels (also called the St. Teilo Gospels) at the website of Lichfield Cathedral.

Also, some links to standard works on the Vulgate and OL are at Michael Marlowe's Bible-researcher site.

Also, if you go to the Mandragore website, if you type "Latin 9389" into the "Cote" box, you can view some pages from the Echternach Gospels.

Remember to type carefully; the search-box at Google Books can be rather unforgiving, and the search-box at Archive.org is even more so.

Apologies

My apologies for the silence. There've been several things that I've missed posting, and I deeply regret that. It's just been busy here. But at least for today, regular posting resumes.
