SUMMARY:Radical Religious Communities in Premodern Societies
DESCRIPTION:A conference on the occasion of the (postponed) 600th anniversary of the foundation of Tábor\nThe emergence of dissenting and radical religious groups was a logical consequence of the pursuit of renewal in premodern Christianity. The separation of such groups from the mainstream can in turn be seen as resulting from the diversity of solutions to the tension between religious idealism and the demands of social and political stability. The relatively intensive research of late medieval and early modern religious separatism has operated in a field demarcated by concepts such as heresy\, reform and reformation\, revolution\, religious movements\, apocalypticism\, and others. By building upon this research tradition\, but not limited by the restraints of any single terminology\, this conference has a twofold aim: to facilitate a more comparative approach by bringing together scholars of various religious communities of premodern Europe\, and to situate the study of dissident religion within its local social\, political\, and communal context. \nFounded in February 1420\, Tábor is just one—albeit in many respects an exceptional—example of a radical religious community. Born from millenarian expectations\, Tábor underwent swift development\, from a sectarian revolutionary commune to a military-political power within Hussitism and a properly established medieval town. In other cases like Florence\, Zürich\, Münster\, Prague\, and many more\, religious radicalism settled into the pre-existing social and political structures of municipal communities\, while other radical groups pursued a clandestine or secluded existence. This conference will deal with the religiously motivated group-formation from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries\, focusing on movements and ideologies such as (but not limited to) Waldensianism\, Wycliffism\, Hussitism\, spiritual Franciscanism\, the radical Reformation\, and various other utopian and religiously-inspired visions. \nSpeakers are invited to explore the social dimension of radical religion in the medieval and early modern periods. Instead of social-economical determinism\, we would like to focus on local networks\, interpersonal bonds\, and communal dynamisms. As a counterpart to the study of intellectual influences and ideological pedigrees\, we propose to examine how emerging religious groups strove to propagate their message. While investigating the reactions of the of society\, we hope to look beyond the mere reproduction of the ‚image of the other‘ to more practical deliberations about possible solutions to religious separatism\, as well as to proposals for reintegration of radical groups. \nThe conference programme will be structured by the following themes:\n• The social background of radical ideologies: group identity and goals; means of recruitment; media of mobilisation; signs and conditions of success and failure; norms and authority\n• Religious leadership in urban communities: old and new elites; theocratic tendencies and the extent of clerical influence; longevity of religious enthusiasm; the ‚stabilisation‘ of the situation\n• Reactions to religious separatism: strategies of dealing with dissident religious groups; the limits of inclusion; the aim of persecution (extermination\, or reintegration); redefining the semantics of difference \nThe conference is organized jointly by the Centre for Medieval Studies (Institute of Philosophy\, Czech Academy of Sciences) and the Hussite Museum in Tábor. Papers will be allotted 20-25 minutes. The conference language is English\, with simultaneous translation into Czech. Speakers will be offered accommodation in Tábor. Limited funding to cover travel expenses (economy train or air tickets) is available\, though limited. A collection of the contributions is planned for publication. \nOrganizing committee: Pavlína Cermanová\, Robert Novotný\, Martin Pjecha\, Jakub Smrčka\, Pavel Soukup\, Zdeněk Vybíral \nPlease send a paper title with a 300-word abstract and a short CV before 31 July\, 2020. \nContact: pjecha_martin@phd.ceu.edu

Between the written and the lived: The municipal legislation and its application 5. Governing the municipal space: The town 6. Governing the municipal space: The countryside 7. Good government of the town: managing adversity 8. Bad government of the town: Fraud\, corruption\, arrogance 9. Financial management of the town 10. Municipal taxation: taxes and fees 11. The relations between powers within the town 12. The relations of the municipal power with external powers: cooperation and / or conflict 13. Urban leagues and / or brotherhoods 14. Discourses and representations about urban governance 15. The construction of memory and urban identity 16. Governing Castelo de Vide during the Middle Ages The meeting will have four plenary conferences carried out by researchers invited by the organization and thematic sessions. Each session will integrate three paper presentations and will be 60 minutes long. Researchers who interested in participating can submit organized sessions or individual papers which will be gathered by the organizing committee in coherent panels. It will also be possible to\nsubmit poster proposals within the conference’s thematic panels. The meeting will also have a cultural program with guided tours and the Conference Dinner.

SUMMARY:CfP: Uneven regional development in the Middle Ages: “younger Europe” in transcontinental and intercontinental networks
DESCRIPTION:Uneven development is most commonly defined in terms of the gap between highly developed\, industrialized countries and agrarian countries whose economies are dominated by primary sector activities. Historians have been pointing out for years that the inequalities prevailing in the world arise from structural conditions that are resistant to change and therefore develop very slowly (F. Braudel). Thus\, inequalities are not only the consequences of the Industrial Revolution; they certainly also existed in pre-modern societies. \nBut how do inequalities arise and in which areas do they express themselves? Are they the result of the non-simultaneity of development in different regions\, which is partly due to geographical conditions (“disadvantaged places”) and thus a constant in pre-industrial societies? Or are they created through interactions and confrontations with more economically and technologically advanced structures? If the latter is true\, then inequalities are caused by external factors. \nThe starting point of the conference is the recognition that “younger Europe”\, which J. Kłoczowski essentially equates with East Central Europe\, although the Balkans\, Kievian Rus\, and Scandinavia could be considered a part of it in some centuries\, has been included in continental and intercontinental interaction networks since the Early Middle Ages. In the ninth and tenth centuries\, the economies of north-western Eurasia were already remarkably entangled. For example\, between about 900 and 950\, silver mines in Uzbekistan were running at full speed to serve markets that ranged from the Urals in the east to the Celtic lands on the Atlantic coast in the west\, and from the Crimea in the south to central Sweden in the north. But such interactions did not just involve the exchange of precious metals and goods\, which stimulated commercial cycles. Foreign trade (along with tributes and booty) formed the fiscal and economic basis of the rule of nascent early medieval dynasties. In parallel\, the elites of the emerging states converted to Christianity\, to both the Latin and Orthodox rites. \nFrom the twelfth to fifteenth centuries\, a profound transformation of society and culture took place\, resulting in the increasing emergence of cities with borough rights\, the resettlement of the countryside with free peasants\, the construction of castles\, the expansion of written communication\, and the founding of monasteries and universities. These phenomena spread from west to east. In the late fourteenth century and throughout the fifteenth century\, Ottoman campaigns led to the conquest of large parts of the Balkans\, which initiated the peripheralization of this region. \nThis transformation raises the question of to what extent\, and in what regional terms\, networks and interactions deepened or – on the contrary – levelled out existing social and economic differences in development. Papers that focus on the following topics and explore them in comparative perspective are encouraged: \n– Trade and goods production\n– Monetization and commercialization\n– Sovereigns and estates\n– Cities and borough rights\n– The status of peasants and rural commoners\n– The foundation of universities and monasteries\n– Imaginations of unevenness and the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous. \nConference languages are German and English.\nTravel and accommodation costs are covered by the organizers.\nPlease send proposals with an abstract (no longer than one page / 1800 characters) and a short CV in German or English by 31 March 2020 to adamczyk@dhi.waw.pl and region@waw.pl. \nPD Dr. Dariusz Adamczyk (German Historical Institute Warsaw)\nDr. Zdeněk Nebřenský (DHIW-Branch Office Prague) \nDeutsches Historisches Institut Warschau\nAußenstelle Prag\nValentinská 91/1\nCZ 110 00 Praha 1\nwww.dhi.waw.pl

SUMMARY:CfP: Distinguo – Studying Distinctiones\, the Backbones of Medieval Latin Preaching
DESCRIPTION:Marjorie Burghart (CNRS) and Lucie Doležalová (Charles University Prague) invite submission of papers for an upcoming conference on distinctiones in the context of preaching\, to be held in Prague between 23-25 April 2020. \nTheme\nThe study of medieval preaching – and its main source\, the sermon – offers a privileged insight into intellectual work and its techniques. Through this source\, we can approach the persuasion strategies\, and also the tools used by the preachers in their intellectual work. Among those tools was the distinctio. This technique\, extremely widespread in the Middle Ages from the late 12th c. onwards\, consisted of considering a word according to its various senses\, properties or characteristics\,  and supporting them with biblical citations. Distinctiones were  a key  ingredient  of sermons from the early 13th c. onwards\, just like exempla (short narratives used for persuasion)\, but contrary to the latter\, distinctiones have never been studied in depth or even surveyed properly. They did not benefit from an authoritative study tracing the origins and developments of the technique\, its relationship with rhetoric or dialectics\, the actual use of distinctions in preaching and beyond\, etc. It is probably the sheer immensity of the task ahead and the paucity of reference works and finding aids that discouraged new research so far. \nThe aim of this conference is to stimulate the study of distinctiones\, bringing new light on the strategies of communication at work in medieval preaching and the intellectual tools and techniques supporting it. \n\nSuggested topics\nWe invite submission of papers on the following topics: \n\nthe origins and development of the technique: the links between distinctio and exegesis; which words\, notions or lexical fields were privileged when creating distinctiones? Can we see topoi emerging in their treatment\, or on the contrary was there a great versatility? What was the place of the distinctio as a dialectical device in scholastic argumentation? Could it shed new light on the intrusion of the disputatio into predicatio? etc.\nThe actual use of distinctiones outside of the collections: to what extent did preachers and theologians use them for their sermons\, treatises or summae? When they did\, how did they transform the material to merge them into their own creations? What was their relationship to other ‘ingredients’ of a sermon (exempla\, authorities\, similitudines\, interpretation of biblical names\, etc.) What was the function of distinctiones in those sermons: a mere backbone\, a didactical device\, or a tool to captivate the audience and drive a point home? Finally\, did the actual use of distinctiones conform to the recommendations of the artes praedicandi\, those ‘arts of preaching’ which provided preachers with a means to taught preachers how to make sermons? etc.;\nThe link between distinctiones and mnemotechnics. Their riming structure or logical patterns were certainly an important element when committing a sermon to memory – a point that did not escape many users of medieval sermon manuscripts.\n\nWe also welcome submission of papers on any relevant topic not listed above\, as well as studies of individual collections of dictinctiones. \nPractical information\nPlease send abstracts of max 300 words to medieval.distinctiones@gmail.com by January 1st 2020 23:59 GMT. \nSelected contributors will be notified after January 15th 2020.

SUMMARY:V. Medievistické kolokvium - Hlína a kamení
DESCRIPTION:Vážené a milé medievistky\, vážení a milí medievisté\,\nve dnech 21. a 22. ledna 2020 se v Praze uskuteční páté medievistické kolokvium Centra pro studium středověku FF UK\, rádi bychom vás na ně pozvali. Jeho tématem bude Hlína a kamení.\nV brzké době vyjde knižní výstup prvních dvou mezioborových setkání o vztahu komiky a vážnosti ve středověké kultuře. Připravovány k vydání jsou již texty do sborníku o starých babách\, probíhá sběr letošních přednášek o oddechu a zahálce. S hlínou a kamením bychom se rádi vrátili od představ a slov zpátky na zem.\nTradice mezioborových kolokvií CSS FF UK určených odbornicím a odborníkům na středověk v časově i prostorově širokém slova smyslu má zdroj ve snaze medievistek a medievistů z různých specializací\, oborů a pracovišť hledat pole vhodná pro přínosnou společnou práci. Záhy se kolokvia ustavila jako platforma otevřená badatelkám a badatelům z celé ČR. Hlína a kamení jsou nyní takovým polem. Lze je zničit a proměnit v neúrodný prostor\, nebo obrábět\, kypřit\, vápnit\, hnojit a střídat plodiny\, perspektivy a témata\, aby zůstávala úrodná. Lze je zavlažovat a hledat v nich nové prameny i zdroje nových\, čerstvých otázek\, nebo je lze vysoušet a otravovat s vidinou snadného zisku tvrdých fakt. Obnovený společenský zájem o půdu hodláme i v medievistice vrátit z metaforické roviny na doslovnou\, k hmotě a tělu. Zajímá nás\, jaké role hrály hlína a kamení ve středověké praxi a teorii.\nHlína vzniká z mrtvých těl\, rodí se v ní život. Stvořen z ní byl člověk\, který se živí tím\, co z ní vyrůstá\, po smrti se do ní ukládá a rozkládá se v ní a vytváří hlínu novou\, prach. Kamení se jeví stabilněji a neživotněji\, přesto dovede být magneticky přitažlivé či odpudivé\, leskne se a poutá pozornost\, má hodnotu a cenu\, křesá oheň\, drží pohromadě vodu a hlínu\, odděluje\, ohraničuje a tvoří části živých těl i společenství – zuby\, skořápky\, močové a žlučové kameny\, perly\, pecky\, kosti\, zídky\, hradby\, hrady\, hrobky… Jaký je vztah hlíny a života a smrti? Jaké jsou vazby mezi kameny a myšlenkami či emocemi? Mezi kamením se skrývá uhlí\, železo\, zlato\, stříbro\, drahokamy. Kamení je navzdory lávě a meteoritům stále méně – naopak hlínu lze obnovovat. Kameny se vztyčují na památku\, tesá se do nich\, co je významné\, a drtí se na prach\, má-li to být zapomenuto. Brousí nože a melou zrní\, vyrábí řecký oheň\, odměřují míle\, padají na ně kosy\, králové na ně usedají a vkládají je do korun\, obři z nich staví tajemné řady a kruhy\, Davidové je metají po Goliáších.\nPomůže nám nějak přemýšlení o tom\, jak se liší hlína a kamení od člověka\, jestliže je jejich vztah k životu a smyslu tak spletitý? Co to znamená\, že nemají mysl či duši\, když se k nim lidské mysli vztahují\, když mají různé vlastnosti a energie\, a když stojí a padají u počátku i konce života? Poskytují kultury mezi antikou a modernitou inspiraci pro hospodárnější a udržitelnější přístupy k hlíně a kamení?\nHledáme středověké obrazy na kamenech a obrazy kamenů\, oltáře\, sochy a kamenné stavby\, z hlíny vypalované věci\, z moře vysráženou sůl a vysypaný písek\, z písku tavené sklo a skleněné nádoby na kameny mudrců. Hledáme hlínu v písních a tancích\, kamení ve snech a proroctvích\, texty o modelování a představy o hodnotě hmatatelných věcí. Hledáme myšlenky a těla tvárné jako jíl\, osudy křehké jako keramika a duše pevné jako kámen. Zajímá nás\, je-li věčnější kamenný hrad nebo hromádky prachu a sebeobrozující prsť. Nejsme si jisti\, je-li nebeský Jeruzalém postaven z drahokamů\, nebo zda je docela nehmotný. Váháme\, smíme-li bláto upravit dlažbou a zajímá nás\, kterým lidem bylo dovoleno po dlažbě chodit. Máme radost\, když najdeme antickou gemu ve středověkém šperku a pravěkou zkamenělinu v gotickém chrámu.\nAnotace svých příspěvků zasílejte na mail klarapetrikova8@gmail.com či pacovsky.karel@gmail.com nejpozději do 30. listopadu 2019.

SUMMARY:Prison spaces in the Middle Ages: an interdisciplinary approach to the territories and materialities of medieval incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Bordeaux\, 2020 1st-3 april. \nWhile recent work has renewed our knowledge of medieval execution sites and of the internal layout of detention facilities\, much remains to be done to understand the distribution of prison spaces and territories\, in particular to shed light on the socio-spatial dynamics and logic of their establishment. These prison spaces evolved between the beginning and the extreme end of the Middle Ages\, with prisons only multiplying from the 13th century onwards. These evolutions must be understood in close coordination with the evolutions of medieval justice and its spatial practices. Studies can be carried out at the scale of a building\, a neighborhood\, a city\, a city\, one or more regions. The sources to be mobilized are very diverse: judicial documents\, urban regulations\, prison regulations\, accounts\, iconography\, archaeological sources (excavations\, archaeological studies of buildings\, etc.)\, so-called „literary“ texts\, etc. Three angles of approach can be used: \n1/ Diversity of prison spaces: beyond the prison In the Middle Ages\, prison spaces were of various material forms and sizes and had multiscalar installations in a sometimes complex interplay of jurisdictions: „holding prison“ could thus be done in a neighborhood\, a city\, a private individual’s house\, a convent\, a „private prison“\, etc. The renovation\, transformation and maintenance\, more rarely construction\, of these places are undoubtedly opportunities to understand these phenomena. The spatial distribution of the various prison sites may contain historical meanings that have not yet been explored\, beyond the traditional problem of conflicts of jurisdiction. We know that some jurisdictions used to use prisons in other jurisdictions: can we go so far as to talk about prison networks with collaborations between justice systems on an urban scale? \n2/ Beyond the walls: porosities of prisons Prison places only functioned in close interaction with their economic and relational environment\, which conditioned their very existence and contributed to their integration into a territory. Visitors\, brotherhoods or suppliers had to somehow penetrate the prison envelopes\, which required material arrangements. Did some prisons have problems of neighborhood and common ownership? The visibility\, acceptance and accessibility of these places are essential to interpret their uses and integration into their environment. \n3/ Prison and urban spaces: prisons\, stages of urban rituals Prisons were not only used to lock people up\, these buildings were also used as reference places for certain urban rituals\, judicial (executions) or not (visits\, entries\, etc.)\, which the historian has every interest in considering if he wants to understand all the facets of these places. From this point of view\, the relative location of these places (near or in which building? Near which road?) may have had a different valence in the eyes of the population that should be taken into consideration. \nProposals for papers: title and abstract of the paper (250 words)\, bio-bibliographic notice (10 lines)\, to be sent before 5 November 2019 to the following addresses : mcharageat@free.fr ; julie.claustre@univ-paris1.fr ; Elisabeth.Lusset@univ-paris1.fr; mathieu.vivas@univ-lille.fr

SUMMARY:CfP: Kutná Hora a husitství
DESCRIPTION:Husitská revoluce představuje tradičně jeden z klíčových bodů české medievistiky. Šestisetleté výročí od výbuchu revolučních událostí proto doslova vybízí k setkání nad otázkami již jednou tematizovanými\, nedostatečně promyšlenými\, aktuálně řešenými či dosud nevyslovenými. Konference\, jež se ve dnech 9.–10. dubna 2020 uskuteční v Kutné Hoře\, si klade za cíl přiblížit dějiny „stříbrného“ města a jeho blízkého okolí právě v dynamických a dramatických letech revoluce. Srdečně Vás proto zveme k aktivní účasti na uvedeném setkání\, jehož obsahem by se měly stát níže nastíněné tematické okruhy. \n\nLíčení ukrutností\, páchaných údajně v Kutné Hoře v prvních týdnech revoluce\, zastiňuje úvahy o roli města ve struktuře Zikmundovy strany. Právě Kutná Hora přitom králi posloužila jako nástupiště jeho sil vůči revoltující Praze. Nabízí se tak otázka\, jakými úkoly Zikmund pověřoval kutnohorské radní\, jaký byl v kontextu králových válečných sil vojenský potenciál města\, jaké bylo personální složení Zikmundova dvora či jaké dopady mělo setrvání dvora na samotné město? Lze vlastně na Kutnou Horu pohlížet jako na Zikmundovu rezidenci?\nNeúspěšné pokusy o vojenské pokoření husitů vyústily v přechod Kutné Hory do tábora kališníků\, což přimělo řadu osob konzervativního smýšlení k opuštění města. Za zvážení tak stojí personální\, majetková\, profesní atd. struktura těchto osob i jejich další kariéry v nových podmínkách. Stranou pozornosti by neměla zůstat ani otázka kontinuity před- a pohusitského osídlení města\, resp. otázka dosídlení města po jeho druhém vypálení v roce 1424.\nKuriózní stanovení správy města po jeho ovládnutí Žižkou v roce 1423\, kdy slepý hejtman určil konšely losem\, nás přivádí k otázce vnitřních poměrů v Kutné Hoře v době\, kdy město spadalo pod správu táborsko-sirotčího kondominia. Ke zkoumání v tomto ohledu vybízí jak některé segmenty městské správy (zejména fungování městských čtvrtí\, předměstí apod.)\, tak zachované výtahy z dnes již bohužel ztracených městských knih.\nPozoruhodná je i intenzita pozemkového vlastnictví a sídel husitských exponentů v širším okolí Kutné Hory\, v jejímž kontextu by také bylo vhodné nahlížet vojenské operace\, k nimž v zázemí města docházelo na samém konci revolučních let (především dobývání hradu Sion). Vítány jsou ale i další příspěvky postihující četné vojenské události (bitva u Malešova apod.) v regionu a to i z pohledu archeologie a dalších příbuzných oborů.\nDramatické zvraty revoluční štěstěny se otiskly i v utváření referenčních bodů vzpomínání obyvatel kraje\, jak naznačuje epizoda související se shromážděním lidu na hoře Melechov u Ledče nad Sázavou nebo rozvoj specifické paměti spojené s postavou Jana Žižky v Čáslavi. Rozličné formy a příklady vzpomínání na dobu „vymknutou z kloubů“ tak rovněž náleží mezi diskutovaná témata.\nOpominout samozřejmě nelze ani roli Kutné Hory a sousední Čáslavi coby míst četných sněmovních jednání\, resp. míst konání náboženských synod (a to až do 40. let 15. století).\nSpecifickým problémem je pak bezpochyby chod a fungování mincovny\, jakožto klíčového objektu města\, a stav českého mincování v průběhu husitství vůbec.\nPrvořadým kutnohorským historikem husitství se díky své impozantní\, stěží překonatelné monografii stal Jiří Kejř. Analýza jeho metodického přístupu a dějinného obrazu\, jenž ovlivnil řadu dalších historiků\, proto rovněž vybízí ke zhodnocení.\n\nTermín odevzdání přihlášek: 31. 10. 2019\nPřihlášky posílejte na: viktor.pohanka@soapraha.cz

SUMMARY:Naturalisation and Legitimation of Power (1300-1800). An Attempt of Comparative History
DESCRIPTION:To function efficiently\, any power and domination has to prove its legitimacy\, and the best way to do that is to prove its obviousness. Most modern research dedicated to the analysis of mechanisms of power seeks to show\, to various extents\, the necessary participation in them of the dominated classes and groups of people. They latter tolerate domination up to a certain point\, and even sometimes participate to its conservation and reproduction. What are the mechanisms that permit such a situation? In practice\, manipulation by dominant classes and groups\, and the adhesion of the dominated rely on processes which are difficult to analyse precisely because they are rooted in psychology and the symbolic\, and\, therefore\, in something inscrutable. Pierre Bourdieu\, for example\, argued that the main characteristic of symbolic power is its reliance on a particular kind of duplicity\, on the fact that it is known and recognised because unknown and unconscious. Its strength and the adhesion to it rely on the feeling of its naturalness and  unchangeability. In order to work\, a socio-political order does best to avoid recalling the struggles and the negotiations between different forces which preceded its\nestablishment. Instead it has a clear interest in showing (and not demonstrating) the easiness\, the self-evidence of its imposition. In other words\, any power has an interest in naturalising its existence. Like symbolic power\, naturalness articulates a given effect visible to everybody and the mechanism (naturalisation) which produces it but is hidden and unconscious. Today the naturalisation\, the ‘essentialisation’ of human and social relations passes through a misuse of life sciences (sometimes described as ‘scientistic’)\, but even more the advent of technical-scientific discourses\, one can observe that this way to explain the sociopolitical is used in various different periods and places all around the world.\nIt would be impossible to point out precisely the original moment\, that gave birth to the concept of ‘naturalness.’ The concept is rooted in the long-term history of human thought\,\nmade up of continuums\, disruptions\, burials\, and renewals. That said\, the use of ‘naturalness’ was constant during the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Times (1300-1800). The concept possesses several specificities due notably to the emergence and the shaping of the European dynastic states\, their institutions\, their socioeconomic systems\, and their ruling technics (e.g. military organisation\, permanent taxation systems). During this period\, the very modalities of use of ‘naturalness’ changed. From abstract reflection limited to ecclesiastical circles\, ‘naturalness’ was subsequently used to support discourses and practices of government and policymaking. These participated in the emergence\nof politics as an independent ‘field’ in a society which had until then been shaped by the ‘institution englobante’ (Le Goff) of the church of the Middle Ages. From the thirteenth century\, scholastic reflexion and (re)formulation of the concept of ‘nature’ (from which naturalness proceeds) fostered a ‘naturalised’ conception of powers\, notably by use of ancient theoretical writings on nature and politics (Aristotelian\, Augustinian\, Ciceronian)\, as well as their dissemination (in Latin and even more in vernacular) to European princes and at their courts. If the Aristotelian approach saw the ‘naturalness’ of political communities as the source of some forms of democracy\, it also made possible to justify some processes of coercion and domination\, especially when it was associated with complementary interpretations of the concept (Augustinian: institutions palliate the disorder created by the Fall\,\nthat is to say the natural state of humankind; Ciceronian: human beings naturally refuse to form political communities; they have to be forced to do so by the use of reason and rhetoric). Since the seventeenth century\, the opposition nature/social organisation revivified by the invention of the natural state of human society which leads to the necessity of social organisation (Hobbes\, Locke)\, and\, afterwards\, to the denunciation of domination as an artificial mean (Rousseau). This reflexion on naturalness explicitly recalled the bond between human kind and nature. Sometimes hastily imagined to be in opposition to culture\, nature is not a raw and timeless entity. Understanding the uses of naturalness will therefore allow us to improve our perception of the dualism between nature and culture the better to question its hegemony in our understanding of the social world. It will ultimately help to sharpen our understanding of the ontologies and cosmologies of the medieval societies which were\, as many non-occidental societies are today\, deeply different from our models even though they contributed to shape them. Wishing to overcome the gap between a Middle Ages imagined as fervently devoted to rituals and symbols and a modern period/modernity supposed to mark the advent of Realpolitik after 1648\, our ambition is to restore continuities often denied by excessively teleological approach to the history of power and politics\, without underestimating the existence of genuine ruptures. Even if historians consider a discrete period\, they are nonetheless soon obliged to face a multiplicity of forms and uses of the concept of ‘naturalness’. Only a comparative and interdisciplinary study of this phenomenon seems to be able to identify it. Nonetheless\, an approach of this kind has yet to be attempted. \nThe aim of these two joint-workshops (at the University of Luxembourg\, 28–29 November 2019\, and at the Austrian Academy of Science\, Vienna\, 2–3 April 2020) is to study the concept of ‘naturalness’ from a perspective which is diachronic (1300–1800)\, interdisciplinary\, and comparative (at the scale of the European states)\, the better to propose a\nnuanced broad vision of the concept. The analysis will focus both on the mechanisms of power at their various levels (courts\, chancelleries\, cities\, representative assemblies\, etc.)\, on alternative experiments\, particularly in the religious sphere (papacy\, religious communities\, councils)\, and on discourses that convey a vision of the world and a conception of power (religious treaties\, politics\, courteous literature)\, in order to propose a nuanced overview of the use of “Naturalness”. These events build on the work of the FNR/CORE (Luxembourg) project LUXDYNAST\, Europe and the House of Luxembourg. Governance\, Delegation and Participation between Region and Empire (2015–2018)\, which considered the construction of the domination of the Luxembourg dynasty between 1308 and 1437 over a vast and complex set of territories requiring a careful balance between global thinking and local action and the implementation of appropriate strategies; and the project GREMIA. Grey Eminences in Action: Personal Structures of Informal Decision-Making at Late Medieval Courts (Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften\, 2019–2022)\, which aims to understand the personal structures of informal decision-making in late medieval Europe. A collaborative publication of the various contributions is envisaged in the long term. In order to achieve this collectively\, we wish to maintain a rich dialogue between the various participants before\, during and after the two conferences. To do that\, we will ask that a working version of each intervention be sent at least 15 days before each conference so that other participants can read it and fully participate in the discussions. Each working session will also have one or two respondents in order to stimulate\, relaunch and sustain the debates. In addition\, a private discussion group will be opened on Facebook to initiate and extend discussions. The proposed papers could address the following topics: \n1. The way that lexicons and discourses on the ‘naturalness’ of dominant classes\, groups\, and institutions are formed through space and time (lexical choices and\ntransformations; rhetorical processes\, e.g. analogies between micro-aspects of naturalness –the human body– and macro-aspects –the state represented as a human body; relations between Latin and vernacular translations\, etc.). It will be also the occasion to understand better this space of communication in which our sources emerged. These include normative texts\, ‘mirrors for princes\,’ theological and philosophical treatises\, sermon collections\, the lives of saints\, correspondence\, chronicles\, courtly literature\, etc. This thematic will highlight the discursive and rhetorical practices\, the links between words and their textual and socio-political contexts; \n2. The foundation narratives used by the dominant classes\, groups\, and institutions in order to legitimate their use of different forms of coercion on other classes\, groups\, and\ninstitutions. The effect of naturalness aims above all to hide the foundation of the domination which always seems to be the result of violence and the produce of a contingency\ntroubling/challenging any power in his quest for legitimacy. We will focus here on the forms given to the discourses in order to overcome this founding moment; \n3. The existing dynamics between different discursive and lexical forms of the ‘naturalness’ of powers\, and the bureaucratic and institutional practices install the ‘naturalness’ in a normative daily routine. The appearance of bureaucratic institutions (or rather proto-bureaucratic) gathering resources was often justified by ‘naturalness’ in the Late Middle\nAges and the Early Modern Times. The argument worked as a strategy allowing normalising these institutions\, their practices and the behaviours that their officers tried to arouse at the subjects; \n4. The naturalisation of relations of domination also has an impact on those most unseen human relations\, in the gestures and the un-spoken attitudes which rhythm everyday life\, in the attitudes towards the body: towards one’s own body and bodies of the others\, in the control of one’s body and that of others. It is here a long-term late medieval and early modern process of domestication of the bodies (Elias)\, which also encountered resistances. In this section\, we will therefore focus on ways and modalities of naturalizing relationships with bodies through texts (especially gender discourse supports)\, objects\, attributes\, gestures\, and even through medical and surgical practice; \n5. The way that ‘naturalness’ is used by classes\, groups\, and institutions\, which had a lesser power\, and even very few (e.g. rural and urban communities). These actors were also\nin quest of legitimacy towards the dominant classes\, groups\, and institutions. The fashioned a multiplicity of strategies in order to dialogue\, negotiate\, and fight\, between the reuse of the dominant discourse on naturalness of powers until the claim of the non-naturalness of domination. \nProposals (an abstract of 1500 signs max. and a short bio-bibliographical presentation) can be send to loiseadde@yahoo.fr and Jonathan.Dumont@oeaw.ac.at before the 15 September 2019. \nORGANISATION COMITY\nDr. Eloïse ADDE (University of Luxembourg\, LU)\nDr. Jonathan DUMONT (Austrian Academy of Science\, AT)\nProf. Michel MARGUE (University of Luxembourg\, LU)\nDoz.

SUMMARY:CfP: Visualizing the Other in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Art (1300–1550)
DESCRIPTION:The University of Ostrava and the Vivarium – Centre for Research of the Medieval Society and Culture invites art historians\, historians\, philosophers and cultural anthropologists to participate in the international conference Visualizing the Other in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Art (1300–1550). As Medieval Europe was ethnically and religiously diverse\, we seek papers exploring the artistic\, architectural\, and linguistic evidence for the social\, cultural\, and political integration of ethnically and religiously diverse communities. \nThe aim of the meeting is to stimulate an academic dialogue on the perception and expression of otherness / other in the late Middle Ages and Early Modern Europe\, considering its social\, religious and ethnic diversity\, interactions\, coexistence\, but also delimitation as means of self-definition and -protection. \nNevertheless\, the late medieval visualization of the other works with usual stereotypes and cultural images when “the other” is understood as potentially dangerous\, transgressing norms and order\, and thus negative. Yet\, the dialogue between them\, and us between inclusion and exclusion reveals important relations in the structure of late medieval society. \nThe perception of the other in medieval art\, mentality and culture needs to be discussed and treated as a dynamic intellectual and socio-cultural process (“the process of othering”) in a multi- disciplinary format ranging from texts and image-text schemes to images and fine arts. The following questions can be discussed: \nOn which occasion was “the other” presented as a positive enrichment\, was diversity understood as God’s inscrutable\, but no doubt wise creation? On which occasion was it understood as potentially dangerous\, transgressing norms and order\, and thus as negative power? How the late medieval visualization of “the other” worked? How the stereotypes of the good as beauty vs. evil as ugly monstrosity and deformity\, e.g. depictions of members of “other” religious communities (Roman Catholic Christians vs. reformers\, Jews\, Muslims)\, women\, and people “on the edge” has been produced and used? \nKEY TOPICS MIGHT INCLUDE:\n~~ Visualizing the religious otherness (visual and textual sources)\n~~ Ethnic\, regional and racial diversity and its reception in visual culture\n~~ Gender and sexuality as distancing strategies\n~~ Monstrosity and deformity as a visual expression of otherness\n~~ Evidence of social transgressions\, breaking norms and rules\n~~ Medieval theory of perception of the other\n~~ Otherness in profane visual culture and marginal iconography\n~~ Animals used as exempla for sin\, transgression and malevolent behaviour\n~~ Exotic\, oriental\, and other distant places as a source of otherness\n~~ The other understanding of the world: natural sciences and metaphysics\n~~ The other in Latin world as participants of prosperity\n~~ Conversion and consequences in the science and culture of Central European Christians \nThe conference will take place from the 14th to 16th November 2019 at Ostrava University\, Czech Republic. \nWe welcome submissions for 20-minute oral presentations. Please\, send your proposed title and an abstract of 300 words of maximum length with your name\, contact and institution details to Daniela Rywiková (daniela.rywikova@osu.cz) by 20th July 2019. \nORGANIZERS:\nProf. Waldemar Deluga (University of Ostrava)\nDr Jan Dienstbier (Czech Academy of Science)\nDr Teresa Pac (University of Central Oklahoma)\nDr Daniela Rywiková (University of Ostrava)\nDr Maria Theisen (Austrian Academy of Science)

SUMMARY:CfP: Josef Cibulka (1886-1968): kněz\, pedagog a historik umění ve 20. století
DESCRIPTION:Termín: Od 03. 12. 2019 do 04. 12. 2019\nMísto konání: Akademické konferenční centrum\, Husova 4a\, Praha 1\n\nV roce 2018 uplynulo 50 let od úmrtí významného historika umění\, profesora křesťanské archeologie a dějin církevního umění Josefa Cibulky (1886–1968). Rozsáhlé aktivity rozvíjel jak v době monarchie a republikánského demokratického řádu\, tak v období nacistické okupace a komunistického režimu.

SUMMARY:CfP: Music and Late Medieval European Court Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Late medieval European court cultures have traditionally been studied from a mono-disciplinary and national(ist) perspective. This has obscured much of the interplay of cultural performances that informed “courtly life”. Recent work by medievalists has routinely challenged this\, but disciplinary boundaries remain strong. The MALMECC project therefore has been exploring late medieval court cultures and the role of sounds and music in courtly life across Europe in a transdisciplinary\, team-based approach that brings together art history\, general history\, literary history\, and music history. Team members explore the potential of transdisciplinary work by focusing on discrete subprojects within the chronological boundaries 1280-1450 linked to each other through shared research axes\, e.g.\, the social condition of ecclesiastic(s at) courts\, the transgenerational and transdynastic networks generated by genetic lineage and marriage\, the performativity of courtly artefacts and physical as well as social spaces\, and the social\, linguistic and geographic mobility of court(ier)s. \nSince the inception of the project\, the MALMECC team have conducted an international project workshop dedicated to methodological innovation in late medieval studies (2017)\, and a series of  international study days (2018-19)\, focussing on late medieval ecclesiastic courts\, late medieval multilingualism and cultural exchanges across linguistic boundaries\, and cardinals’ and papal households of Avignon as transcultural hubs. A fourth international study day probing the transnational qualities of courtly life in north-western Europe is scheduled for March 2019 in Liège (Belgium).\nIn the project conference\, we hope to unite as many strands of court studies as possible and invite speakers from any discipline engaged with the long fourteenth century (c. 1280-1450) to join us in exploring phenomena of late medieval courtly life from a transdisciplinary angle. Submissions for papers may address (but need not be limited to) one or several of the following thematic strands: \n– New and unusual methodological approaches to the study of European courts and court cultures \n– Blurring anachronistic boundaries set by modern scholarship \n– Consciously exploring the interstitial spaces of the sacred-secular\, courtly-urban-rural\, virtuous-obscene\, courtly-uncourtly-pastoral \n– Forging links between liturgy\, sound/music and space/architecture \n– Music and the senses at court \n– Space and place\, visibility and invisibility\, hearing and overhearing\, silence and noise in late medieval courtly life \n– Gender\, genealogies\, sexualities\, marriage and celibacy at secular and ecclesiastical courts \n– Court careers\, courtly roles and their performativity \n– Court communications: speech and language\, multilingualism\, speaking and singing\, crimes of speech and slander \n– Patronage\, performance and cultural productions at courts: art\, literature\, music and entertainment\, courtly diversions and their audiences \n– Memory\, identity and lineage \n– Courtly ecologies of sounds\, bodies\, materials\, identities\, power \n– Economics of the court; the court and the city; the court and the countryside \n– The geography and limits of the court: boundaries\, definitions\, territories\, institutions \n– Courtly alterity: courtly discourses on race\, sexuality\, (social) differences and disability \n– European courts and court studies in a global context \nPlease send abstracts of 250-400 words to Martha Buckley\, project support coordinator (martha.buckley@humanities.ox.ac.uk). Deadline: 5 May 2019.

SUMMARY:CfP: 18. zasedání k problematice sepulkrálních památek
DESCRIPTION:Periodické mezinárodní konference k problematice sepulkrálních památek pořádá Ústav dějin umění AV ČR\, v. v. i.\, od roku 2000. Hlavním cílem těchto akcí je umožnit vzájemný kontakt zainteresovaných zástupců všech s danou problematikou souvisejících disciplín (dějin umění\, obecných dějin\, pomocných věd historických\, archeologie\, památkové péče\, muzejnictví\, restaurátorské praxe\, petrografie ad.) ve prospěch větší interdisciplinarity a koordinace dosud rozptýleného bádání. Věnují se všem aspektům uvedené problematiky\, preferován je ovšem věcný či metodický vztah ke středoevropskému materiálu a primární věcné či kontextuální zaměření na hmotné sepulkrální památky v užším pojetí. \n18. zasedání bude zaměřeno na středověké sepulkrální památky do roku 1526\, v odůvodněných případech lze tuto hranici mírně překročit. \nDo konferenčního programu bude zařazen i samostatný blok věnovaný sepulkrálním památkám hebrejským. Příspěvky zasedání budou publikovány v řadě Epigraphica & Sepulcralia nakladatelství ÚDU AV ČR\, v. v. i.\, Artefactum. \nVyzýváme tímto zájemce o aktivní účast k zaslání návrhu příspěvku (název\, stručné resumé). Délka se předpokládá 20 minut\, přihlásit lze rovněž zprávy v trvání do max. 10 minut a postery. Návrhy zasílejte prosím do 30. dubna 2019 na adresu rohacek@udu.cas.cz. Zde zodpovíme i případné dotazy. \nJiří Roháček\, Jan Chlíbec\, Eva Janáčová

SUMMARY:Theologies of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Call for Participants:\n“Theologies of Revolution: Medieval to Modern Europe”\nGraduate and Post-Graduate Workshop\n20-21 May\, 2019\nFrench Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences (CEFRES)\n& Centre for Medieval Studies (CMS)\nPrague\, Czech Republic\nWeb link: http://www.cefres.cz/en/9981 \nDeadline: 15 January\, 2019 \nThe second millennium of the Church is one of a connected series of “total revolutions”\, enacted by those who had been promised Christ’s return and blissful paradise\, yet experienced only desperation. Their hatred of this status quo\, hatred of heaven’s absence\, reached such a state that they fought to bring heaven into the world. \nEugen Rosenstock-Huessy’s classic reading of European revolutions\, medieval to modern\, gave central significance to the religious perspective. Previously\, the violent deposition of rulers or the destruction of hierarchies—especially by the people—was almost unthinkable due to their significance in maintaining “political” and “religious” order. Since Rosenstock-Huessy\, however\, researchers have tended to prefer socio-economic\, politico-ideological\, ethno-linguistic\, and generally materialist explanations—depending on current fashions—for such violence. This has been at the expense of religious and theological elements\, though the 1979 Iranian revolution certainly brought these back into academic awareness. Cross-disciplinary insights suggest that what is today labelled “religious” often was (and is) the internal meaning-structures which revolutionary agents used to express and inform their own actions\, fitting themselves into existing divine or supra-mundane narratives (Augustinian\, apocalyptic\, mystical\, etc.)\, or re-working these narratives under the influence of new or rediscovered ideas (humanist\, Joachite\, Christian Platonist\, etc.). \nModern researchers still struggle to balance emic and etic explanations of revolutionary action\, yet at least since the 14th century\, movements and thinkers began to arise which clearly defined their violent\, revolutionary action in theological terms\, or terms in which the “religious” and “political” are not clearly separate spheres of existence: the Apostolic Brethren or Cola de Rienzo in Italy\, the Hussites in Bohemia\, Thomas Müntzer in the German lands\, György Dózsa in Hungary\, the Lollards and Oliver Cromwell in England. The list could also potentially move to include such events as the French\, pan-European (1848)\, and Russian revolutions\, which have traditionally lacked theological analysis. Such movements built and innovated upon existing understandings of matters like the human condition and history\, the perfectability of the world\, and the human relationship with God\, to not merely legitimize violent action (post facto)\, but to motivate\, guide\, and inform it along the way.\nOur workshop aims to discuss and elaborate upon these and other themes related to revolution from the medieval to the modern periods in Europe\, west and east. We hope to address the implications of re-opening historical debate on revolutions which take seriously the input of political-religion. We especially want to emphasize a broad geographic and chronological field\, and welcome new and inter-disciplinary approaches to challenge established historiographic narratives. The workshop will organize participants thematically and ask them to react to each others’ papers. Some common topics/questions that interest us include:\n• Do the “total revolutions” of the second millennium have a common religious form?\n• Is modern man born out of revolution?\n• To what extent can revolutions be compared\, treated as part of a trend\, or be seen as unique?\n• How “novel” were the cultural/intellectual/religious heterodox figures who led rebellions and revolutions?\n• Are there periods unique for European history in regards to rebellions and revolutions?\n• What are some methodological approaches which move us past the materialist emphases on society and economics?\n• To what extent did the “new” ideas and traditions emerging from earlier periods influence later religio-political thought\, up to today? \nKeynote speakers:\nDr. Phillip Haberkern (Boston University)\nDr. Matthias Riedl (Central European University\, Budapest) \nScientific organizing committee:\nDr. Jérôme Heurtaux (French Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences\, Prague)\nDr. Matthias Riedl (Central European University\, Budapest)\nDr. Pavel Soukup (Center for Medieval Studies\, Prague)\nMartin Pjecha (CEU/CEFRES) \nApplicants are asked to send a brief abstract of their 20-minute project contribution (200-300 words) to Martin Pjecha (Pjecha_Martin@phd.ceu.edu) by 15 January\, 2019\, especially focusing on how their work can fit into\, contribute to\, or challenge the workshop’s theme. Speakers should be prepared to engage in lively\, English-language discussions of participants’ projects and broader themes.\nLimited travel bursaries will be available for those without institutional funding opportunities. Please indicate your application for funding along with your abstract.

SUMMARY:Central European Arthurian Texts in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:International colloquium at the Czech Academy of Sciences organized jointly by the Institute of Czech Literature and the Centre for Medieval Studies\, Institute of Philosophy. \n1-2 November 2018\, Prague (Academic Conference Centre\, Husova 4a\, 110 00 Praha 1) \n Medieval Central European translations and adaptations of chivalric texts have a few traits that set them apart from similar products of the French\, English or „Rhine-German“ milieus. First of all\, they are manifestly late; as such\, they speak to a different social situation than their western models\, use different forms of presentation and engage different audiences. The objective of this colloquium is to discuss texts in a comparative perspective\, which can help us to define the peculiar „lateness“ of the material. As a starting point\, we propose to organize the papers around various borders or „interfaces“ which the narratives have to cross as they enter a new situation: \n\nCivitas terrena and civitas Dei. The ascendancy of the devotio moderna movement\, the increased presence of wonderworking relics and the heightened religious fervour in the years leading to the Hussite Wars in Bohemia – as well as the ensuing processes of confessionalization – all oblige people involved in textual production and reception to choose a side in the battle between God and the devil\, the orthodoxy and heretics. What traces of this early partisanship can be found in literary texts?\n Language in power and language empowered. During the Late Middle Ages\, the importance of formerly subaltern languages (Czech in relation to German\, both in relation to Latin) grows and\, consequently\, also the importance of linguistic as well as cultural translation. In a few instances\, the translations and adaptations with which we work even explicitly treat and comment upon their own translated nature. Are languages in some way hierarchized in the texts? What kinds of power or agency are associated with language and languages?\n Written and printed word. In the fifteenth century\, the boom in manuscript production and circulation along with the advent of the printing press alter significantly the ways in which literature works. Whereas the German late verse romances were transformed into prose and entered the new media landscape and the consumer market quite successfully\, the majority of Czech chivalric texts (including both Arthurian romances proper) were not able to take the leap. What are the differences between the successful and the unsuccessful texts and between their circumstances?\n\nWe cordially invite you to present papers about any or all of these topics in connection with texts that belong to the Arthurian corpus or dealing with problems that are relevant for the mapping of changes undergone by the Arthurian material in late medieval Central Europe. \nProposals for 20-minute papers in English should be addressed to czech_medieval@protonmail.com before June 30\, 2018. Please include: title and abstract of the presentation (max. 200 words)\, name and short bio of the speaker (max. 50 words).  \nSincerely\, \nMatouš Jaluška (Department for Research into Old Literature\, UCL CAS) \nMartin Šorm (Centre for Medieval Studies\, FLU CAS) \nMatouš Turek (Group for Research on Czech-German Intercultural Relations in Bohemia\, UCL CAS)

SUMMARY:6th European Congress of Medieval Studies - Past and Future Medieval Studies Today
DESCRIPTION:FIDEM Congress 2018\nThe 6th European Congress of Medieval Studies of the Fédération Internationale des Instituts d’Études Médiévales (FIDEM) will be organized by the Department of Arts\, Media\, and Philosophy of the University of Basel\, Switzerland. \nSUBJECT\nThere was a time\, not so long ago\, when Medieval Studies constituted a major pillar for the understanding of the history of human civilization. The Middle Ages bridge the gap between ancient culture and Modernity; it is the period during which the Greek and Roman heritage was transformed into European and Christian values and found expression in new and different ways in music\, art\, architecture\, literature\, philosophy\, and theology – fields\, which testify to the cultural evolution of humanity. For this reason\, Medieval Studies had a strong and uncontested position in the curricula of many institutions of higher education\, especially in the Western world. \nToday\, things are different. While the medieval contribution to the project of humanity remains beyond doubt\, the challenges facing those interested in history have definitively changed. In a globalizing world\, the emergence of the universities\, gothic architecture\, polyphony\, and urban culture\, can no longer be studied in isolation. Their significance must be assessed against the background of developments elsewhere in the world\, for instance\, the Middle East\, Africa\, and Asia. Today\, what does the medieval past mean for a global and culturally diverse future? \nMedieval Studies have always excelled by their vigorous scholarly methods and their inventiveness: it is within this realm that new methods of critical text editing were developed and became the standard across all the humanities; medievalists were among the first to seize the opportunities and chances offered by the digitization of texts; interdisciplinary research is the rule rather than the exception. With these features\, Medieval Studies are well equipped to develop convincing answers  to the challenges of the future in front of them. Distinguished by a vast regional diversity as well as global interaction and exchange\, the Middle Ages both question and inspire our contemporary understanding as citizens of a globalizing world\, a promising challenge calling for new ideas and\npowerful institutions suited to put the ‘European’ Middle Ages into relation with human achievements elsewhere on the globe. \nCurrently\, different replies to these new challenges are under discussion\, each with its own potentials and risks: global medievalism\, digital humanities\, comparative history\, rethinking the cultural narrative. To present and debate these approaches and to exchange views about successful perspectives of Medieval Studies\, the Fédération Internationale des Instituts d’Etudes Médiévales (FIDEM) devotes its 6th European Congress of Medieval Studies to the topic of “Past and Future: Medieval Studies Today”. \nBy way of plenary talks and discussion sessions\, specialist from the fields of Arts\, History\, Philosophy\, and Literature will share with the audience their views about the possible future of Medieval Studies. \nCall for Papers\nThere is a number of slots for papers (20 minutes) and special sessions (90 minutes). Proposals should be submitted to Prof. Maarten J.F.M. Hoenen at FIDEM@unibas.ch by 30 April\, 2018. \nStipends\nTo facilitate attendance at the Congress\, FIDEM stipends (500 €) are available for researchers under the age of 35\, who will present a paper.\nApplications (including a letter of application\, a CV and a letter of recommendation) should be submitted to Dr. Marta Pavón Ramírez\, FIDEM Secretary General\, at secretary.general@fidemweb.org by 30 April\, 2018. \nGeneral Assembly\nOn Tuesday\, 4 September\, the General Assembly of the FIDEM will take place in the Kollegienhaus of the University of Basel. At the General Assembly\, the new board of the FIDEM will be elected. Further items of the agenda will be announced in advance. \nRegistration and Information\nRegistration is free. To register\, please send an email to FIDEM@unibas.ch by July 15\, 2018.\nIn the next circular details on stipends\, hotel accommodation and travel information will be provided.\nFor further information\, please contact Prof. Maarten J.F.M. Hoenen at FIDEM@unibas.ch

SUMMARY:Author as Editor and Editor as Author
DESCRIPTION:Fifteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS 2018). \nVenue: Charles University\, Prague \nDates: 15th-17th November 2018 \nCALL FOR PAPERS\nDeadline: 30th April\, 2018 \nAcceptance notification: June 2018 \nRegistration deadline: 31st October\, 2018 \nWe are pleased to announce that the 15th International Conference for the European Society for Textual Scholarship will be held in Prague on 15th–17th November 2018. \nIn an important sense\, this year᾽s twofold theme follows up on the agenda of ESTS 2017 (“Editorial Degrees of Intervention”): firstly\, by taking the idea of editorial interventions down the imaginary cline towards its far end where editors become authors\, and secondly\, to strike a thematic balance\, by proposing to look into various aspects of a contrastive configuration – of texts edited by their authors. What conditions – such as pressures of ideology\, historical-cultural context\, urge to interpret or requirements of authenticity – turn editors into authors? And how do we tell the editors – with their complex duties of a scribe\, a compiler\, a commentator – from the authors? How does this “crossover” bear on these newly-born authors᾽ editorial practices? What circumstances bring authors to start editing their own texts? What are the principal features of this type of editorial process and its final product? \nIn addition\, a special section will be devoted to medieval manuscript culture in which scribes often change their model texts to such a degree that they might be considered their editors or even authors. Who decided to substantially alter an existing text? Under what conditions\, within what types of communities of interpretation such transformations took place? What types of changes were made? How were they received by the readers? Papers addressing the nature\, reasons\, and consequences of such editorial and authorial activities\, as well as the connected themes of the concept of author and editor in the Middle Ages are welcome. \nFollowing the tradition of the ESTS\, the conference welcomes a wide range of topics. Papers can be on any language and on any period. Participants are invited to submit proposals for 20-minute presentations (followed by 10-minute discussion)\, or for three-paper sessions. The language of the conference is English. A suggested – though not prescriptive or exhaustive – list of topics includes: \n\nThe author᾽s voice and the editor᾽s voice: authenticity\, interpretation and identity\nEditors trespassing on authorial land: textual variants and degrees of intervention\nAuthors as editors: challenges and caveats\nEditors as authors versus facts of language and philology\nAuthors᾽ associates as editors\nFluid text and open text in the hands of editors and authors; aesthetics of variance\nTradition and the individual talent revisited: cultural\, social and historical meanings and contexts of the figure of the author; the place of the editor\nReadersʼ and community perceptions and constructions of the author-editor continuum\nDigital re-editing: digitization of published edited text\nTextology and Prague functional-structural tradition\n\n…as well as other more general topics that have always been fostered by the Society: \n\nDigital versus printed editions\nThe target audience\nSelection of texts worth editing\nScholarly editions\n\nProposals of participation\, paper title and abstract (250-300 words\, excluding references) should be submitted as an email attachment (preferably .doc or .docx) before 30th April 2018 to the following address: ests2018@ff.cuni.cz. \nIn addition\, proponents of individual papers are kindly requested to supply the following information: presenter’s name\, concise biography\, address\, telephone\, email and institutional affiliation. \nProposals of three-paper sessions should include a title\, a chair and an intro for the session (ca 100 words)\, along with titles and abstracts for each paper. \nContributors and panel chairs must pay the conference fee and must be members in good standing of the European Society for Textual Scholarship for 2018 (except invited speakers). \nDetails about the payment (100€\, which covers conference fee and ESTS membership) will be provided by the time registration begins. \nOrganizing Committee: \n\nJan Čermák\nLucie Doležalová\nSakari Katajamäki\nJakub Říha\nOndřej Tichý\n\nContact: \nConference email: ests2018@ff.cuni.cz \nFor more information about the ESTS\, please see http://www.textualscholarship.eu/
