Congreso interdisciplinar AHLIST 2012. *Call for papers*

27 al 29 de junio de 2012,

Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

Los principales temas del presente congreso son la creación, la innovación y la reinvención, aunque no se limita sólo a ellos. Naciones, comunidades, grupos e individuos han participado dinámicamente en el proceso de invención y reinvención artística, cultural, digital, histórica, literaria, científica y tecnológica; a la par, son cada vez más conscientes de su habilidad para inventar y reinventar, dar forma y transfigurar el arte, la historia, la literatura, la ciencia, la sociedad y la tecnología. El objetivo de estos temas es analizar, usando aproximaciones interdisciplinares, el rumbo de acción mediante el cual los individuos y las comunidades han ido desarrollando su creación, su innovación y su reinvención.

Invitamos a participar tanto a paneles en grupo como comunicaciones individuales en los temas mencionados; pero, además, daremos plena consideración a cualquier otra propuesta dentro del amplio campo ofrecido en la presente convocatoria de AHLIST.

Conference: How the secularization of religious houses transformed the libraries of Europe, 16th-19th centuries.

22-24 March, 2012,

St Anne's College, Oxford.

The closure of religious houses, in varying circumstances, affected all of Europe at some point between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. At different times and in different countries the consequences for monastic libraries were widely varied, in some cases preserving medieval and early modern collections intact, in others abandoning books to their fate, or transferring them piecemeal into new ownership to serve different cultural purposes.

What impact did these historic changes have on the shape of libraries, access to libraries, and in particular on the preservation or otherwise of books from the past ---the intellectual heritage of Europe?

Conference: Seals and their Context in the Middle Ages.

27-29 April, 2012,
Aberystwyth University.


This conference seeks to explore the functions of seals in medieval Britain and Western Europe in the broadest possible context. Themes will include the use of seals in law and administration and the act of sealing, as well as questions relating to how, why and by whom seals were employed. A further important theme will be the manner in which seals relate to other sources: visual, material and documentary. Above all the conference will encourage debate amongst scholars operating from within different academic traditions.

Conference: Medieval maps and diagrams.

9 March 2012,
The Warburg Institute (University of London, School of Advanced Study).


In the past, maps were defined as representations of the surface of the earth or a part of it, but modern cartographical theorists and map historians define maps more widely as forms of graphic representations facilitating ‘a spatial understanding of things, concepts, conditions, processes, or events’ (J. B. Harley and D. Woodward). This interdisciplinary workshop will explore the relationship between medieval maps and diagrams. Brief presentations (15 minutes each) will concentrate on specific examples, which will be discussed in view of wider topics such as the art of memory, divination, typology, and page layout. The concluding panel will be concerned with the underlying question of the relationship and distinctions between medieval diagrams and maps, with the ways in which they have been examined by scholars in the past, and with how they might be investigated in the future.

CFP - Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures, 2013 Open Issue.

~ Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures ~

Call for Submissions, 2013 Open Issue

Digital Philology is a new peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of medieval vernacular texts and cultures. Founded by Stephen G. Nichols and Nadia R. Altschul, the journal aims to foster scholarship that crosses disciplines upsetting traditional fields of study, national boundaries and periodizations. Digital Philology also encourages both applied and theoretical research that engages with the digital humanities and shows why and how digital resources require new questions, new approaches, and yield radical results.

Beginning in 2012 Digital Philology will have two issues per year, published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. One of the issues will be open to all submissions, while the other one will be guest-edited and revolve around a thematic axis.

Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 3rd edition (2008) of the MLA style manual, and be between 5,000 and 7,000 words in length, including footnotes and list of works cited. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation.

Digital Philology is welcoming submissions for its 2013 open issue. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to dph@jhu.edu, addressed to the Managing Editor (Albert Lloret). Digital Philology will also publish manuscript studies and reviews of books and digital projects. Correspondence regarding manuscript studies may be addressed to Jeanette Patterson at jpatterson09@gmail.com. Correspondence regarding digital projects and publications for review may be addressed to Timothy Stinson at tlstinson@gmail.com.
