CfP: Uneven regional development in the Middle Ages: “younger Europe” in transcontinental and intercontinental networks
2020-03-31 08:00 - 17:00
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.
But 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.
The 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.
From 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.
This 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:
– Trade and goods production
– Monetization and commercialization
– Sovereigns and estates
– Cities and borough rights
– The status of peasants and rural commoners
– The foundation of universities and monasteries
– Imaginations of unevenness and the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous.
Conference languages are German and English.
Travel and accommodation costs are covered by the organizers.
Please 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.

CfP: The Governance of Medieval European Towns
2020-04-30 08:00 - 17:00 | Castelo de Vide, Castelo de Vide, Portugalsko
This year, from October 8th to the 10th, the Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM | NOVA-FCSH) and the municipality of Castelo de Vide are organizing the V International Conference on the Middle Ages, under the theme: The Governance of Medieval European Towns.
The importance of this theme justified its selection for the International Conference on the Middle Ages that will take place in Castelo de Vide in 2020. Taking Christian and Muslim medieval Europe as the stage for reflexion, we wish to analyse the different issues generated by urban governance, drawing on diverse information sources and looking for ways to bring together perspectives from History, Archaeology, Art History, Literature, Law, among others.
We invite researchers from any scientific area interested in the subject of urban governance in the medieval period to submit sessions or papers proposals within the range of the following thematic panels: 1. Institutions from the urban power: Recruitment systems and functions 2. The faces of governance: Urban elites 3. Evidences of governance in medieval urbanism: Spaces and constructions 4. 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
submit poster proposals within the conference’s thematic panels. The meeting will also have a cultural program with guided tours and the Conference Dinner. It will also be launched the book which resulted from de IV International Conference on the Middle Ages (Castelo de Vide, October 2019). The conference languages are Portuguese, Spanish, French and English.

přednáška Ing. arch. Eliška Racková a Ing. Jiří Slavík: „Středověké venkovské kostely východních Čech“
2020-06-11 16:30 - 18:00 | Muzeum východních Čech v Hradci Králové, Eliščino nábřeží 465,, Hradec Králové, 50001
Venkovské kostely jsou v řadě východočeských obcí nejstaršími památkami a nezaměnitelnými dominantami v krajině. Přednáška představí nejzajímavější stavby v několika tematických okruzích. První je vztah založení a dispozice kostela vzhledem k vývoji okolního osídlení. Uspořádání interiéru, výzdoba a architektonická výbava odrážejí potřeby středověké liturgie. I když jsou venkovské kostely většinou mnohem skromnější, než městské chrámy, najdeme i mezi nimi řadu drobných architektonických perel ilustrujících téměř pět století vývoje románské a gotické architektury. Přednáška vychází z materiálů připravované knihy Středověké venkovské kostely východních Čech.

Radical Religious Communities in Premodern Societies
2020-07-31 08:00 - 17:00 | Husitské muzeum v Táboře, Žižkovo Náměstí 23, Tábor, 39001, Česká republika
A conference on the occasion of the (postponed) 600th anniversary of the foundation of Tábor
The 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.
Founded 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.
Speakers 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.
The conference programme will be structured by the following themes:
• 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
• 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
• 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
The 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.

Vyšebrodský rukopis č. 42 jako jedinečný pramen písňové kultury v klášterním prostředí předhusitských Čech
2020-08-22 15:00 - 17:00 | Cisterciácký klášter Vyšší Brod, Klášter 137, Vyšší Brod, 382 73, Česká republika
Rukopis č. 42 ze sbírky cisterciáckého kláštera ve Vyšším Brodě patří k nejvýznamnějším památkám hudební tradice předhusitských Čech. Díky příkladům staročeské duchovní lyriky v něm obsaženým, zejména písním Otep myrry a Doroto, panno čistá, pronikla do učebnic středoškolské literatury. Tato v mnoha ohledech jedinečná kolekce unikátních hudebních zápisů na straně jedné a nejstarších známých zápisů později bohatě tradovaných zpěvů na straně druhé skrývá ještě mnoho nevyjasněných otázek. Kdo byl onen Přibík, který kolem roku 1410 stál za vytvořením této různorodé sbírky? Komu měl vyšebrodský sborník sloužit a komu byly určeny zpěvy v něm zaznamenané? Jedná se o mimořádný „ediční“ počin lokálního dosahu, anebo ho můžeme považovat za svého druhu jediného přeživšího svědka kdysi opulentní liturgické praxe na území pražské arcidiecéze?
Ve světle podrobné analýzy písma a struktury rukopisu se Vyšší Brod 42 ukazuje nikoli jako dílo jednoho vzdělaného mnicha, nýbrž jako sbírka, jejíž funkce se v průběhu psaní postupně vyvíjela. Letopočet 1410 je nutno považovat za okamžik, kdy byl hotov základní korpus repertoáru, ale do současné podoby byl rukopis dotvořen až v následujících letech a možná i mimo Přibíkův dohled. Jak se změní náš pohled na tuto sbírku, uvědomíme-li si, že vznikala jako živý organismus, který reflektuje nejen vyšebrodskou hudební praxi, ale současně naznačuje obecné tendence v dobové liturgické hudbě?
Rukopisu byla v minulém roce věnována pozornost projektu Staré mýty, nová fakta. Přednáška se pokusí zprostředkovat vhled do života jednoho z nejdůležitějších cisterciáckých klášterů na území Čech. Poodkryje proces vzniku jedné pozdně středověké písňové sbírky včetně rozdělení rolí jednotlivých členů místní klášterní komunity a osvětlí spletitou síť vztahů, kterou můžeme tušit za strohými údaji „1410 – Vyšší Brod – Přibík“.

Dialog o shodě mezi Tórou a věděním. Šem Tov ibn Falaquery (1225-1295)
2020-09-02 13:30 - 15:30 | Filosofický ústav AV ČR, Jilská 1, Praha 1, Česká republika
Přednášku prosloví Milan Žonca.
Recepci antické a středověké arabské filosofické tradice provázely v židovských komunitách (podobně jako ve společnosti křesťanské a muslimské) obsáhlé debaty týkající se vztahu rozumu a zjevení, přístupu k interpretaci autoritativních náboženských textů a začlenění filosofických spisů do tradičního vzdělávacího kurikula. Šem Tov ibn Falaquera (kolem 1225–1290), překladatel a autor řady hebrejských spisů popularizujících studium aristotelské filosofie, se do těchto debat aktivně zapojil především dvěma svými spisy: Dialogem o shodě mezi Tórou a světskou vědou a dopisem, jímž vystoupil na obranu Maimonidova Průvodce tápajících během kontroverze, která se kolem tohoto díla rozpoutala na sklonku 80. let 13. století. Oba texty budou představeny v novém českém překladu a zasazeny do kontextu Falaquerova díla a širšího diskursu o legitimitě filosofie v rámci judaismu.

Rhythm in Music and the Arts in the Late Middle Ages
2020-11-16 08:00 - 2020-11-18 17:00 | Vila Lanna, V Sadech 1, Praha 6, Česká republika
The conference will be organized online on Zoom. See the programme. Please register!
Late medieval chant books include individual inscriptions or sections of so-called cantus fractus, melodies notated in rhythmic patterns contrary to the usual ‚plainchant‘ cantus planus. Despite the fact that the repertory of cantus fractus was an important part of the late-medieval and early modern musical repertory, it still remains an almost unexplored field. In the current discourse on musicology, art history and cultural history in general, the cantus fractus repertory constitutes an extremely promising field, providing an opportunity for mutual discussions and collaborative outcomes, particularly in view of the general understanding of „rhythm“ in late-medieval life and arts.
Particularly welcome are contributions on the following topics:
– international repertories versus local traditions
– genres and forms, in particular Patrem chants and cantiones
– compositions versus elaborations
– manuscripts and collections
– rhythmic chant and notational practice
– rhythm in the visual arts and poetry in the late Middle Ages
Conference languages: English and German

Prostor pro výzkum se proto otevírá nejen pro historiky, ale i pro široké spektrum badatelů z oblasti humanitních a společenskovědních oborů (sociologie, antropologie, práva, literárně-vědních oborů nebo filozofie).
Pestrost metodologických přístupů, které se mohou vztahovat k vnímání míst setkávání, ať už v rovině společenských vrstev (panovnický dvůr, církev, měšťanstvo atd.), konkrétních prostorů (doma v kruhu rodiny, anebo v rámci uzavřených skupin, jako byly cechy, nebo ve velkých různorodých skupinách na výročních trzích, popravách atd.), tak také v rovině spirituálního, nebo politicko-vojenského přesvědčení účastníků setkávání (poutě, vojenská tažení atd.), nabízejí bádání jak z hlediska politických, církevních či hospodářských dějin, tak z pohledu vědeckého bádání v oblasti reality každodennosti a jejího vnímání.
Konference si klade za cíl především nastolení následujících otázek:
Která místa lze vnímat jako místa setkávání v narativu středověkých a raně novověkých dějin? Jak se proměňovalo jejich vnímání, a co bylo příčinou těchto změn? Jaký měla místa setkávání vliv na změny ve společnosti (např. v kontextu veřejných poprav, soudů, shromažďování okolo potulných kazatelů ect.)? Je v případě setkávání možné pozorovat kontinuitu, nebo se místa měnila v závislosti na společenských změnách? Jaký vliv měla shromáždění na veřejný prostor, měnil se jejich status? Formovala jednotlivá místa setkávání názory, víru a světonázor aktérů? Pokud ano, jakým způsobem? Jaký vliv na ně měli společenští aktéři a jak na ně nahlíželi? Hrálo v prožívání těchto míst zásadnější roli společenské postavení, pohlaví nebo věk? Jak byla místa setkávání zobrazována a vnímána později?
Časové omezení:
Středověk až raný novověk Vítány budou především příspěvky z oblastí vnímání míst setkávání v čase a prostoru na konkrétních případech a jejich narativy, jejich proměna v čase, pohled společnosti na ně a kulturní odlišnosti, jejich společenský význam a církevní rámec, interdisciplinární pohledy v kontextu historického bádání, vyobrazení a představy míst setkávání v umění a kultuře, prožitek míst setkávání, interpretační roviny a proměny, rituály a místa paměti, koncepty a interpretace.
Délka příspěvků: 20 minut, následná diskuze 15 minut
Určeno pro: Studenty doktorského studia a vědecké pracovníky.
