medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Dear medieval-religion colleagues,

I don’t normally post messages to the list for other people, unless  
they have written me about a technical problem and require my  
assistance. I’m making an exception this time, and sending along a  
collage of news concerning seminars, conferences, degree programmes,  
lectures, etc.

PLEASE, if you have any similar information, it would be best in  
future if you posted this material directly to the list.

Don’t write to me or to the list if you have any queries about  
information contained below; please see if there is contact  
information about the event that interests you, and use that for your  
correspondence.

Best wishes, George Ferzoco

P.S.: I apologize for the length of this message!

New Master's Degree at Oxford in Medieval Studies

This nine-month interdisciplinary taught course (October to June) can  
be taken either as a free-standing degree or as the first step  
towards one of the research degrees of M.Litt. or D.Phil. ; students  
can choose during the year in which direction they wish to proceed.  
The degree balances taught courses and independent research. It is  
aimed explicitly at students who wish to follow courses in more than  
one discipline in medieval studies, and who are keen to extend the  
range of their skills. The degree values language training and will  
ask all students to study a medieval language they have not already  
studied. Students will also take a palaeography course. In their  
first two terms students will choose optional subjects, from topics  
offered by the participating departments. (These include the  
Faculties of English, History, History of Art, Modern Languages,  
Byzantine Studies, Oriental Studies. Options are likely to be  
available also in Music, Theology and Philosophy.) In addition, in  
their second term students will attend an interdisciplinary seminar;  
every dissertation (written in the third term) will have two  
supervisors from different Faculties. In most cases there will be no  
formal examinations and the degree will be assessed as follows: 20%  
for an essay in each optional subject ; 20% for an essay or  
transcription in paleography; 40% for the dissertation (up to 12,000  
words.) Language skills will normally be assessed by a class test but  
depending on the language it might sometimes be possible to  
substitute the learning of a language (such as Arabic or Old Irish)  
for one of the optional subjects and this language might then be  
examined.

Canterbury
Cathedrals, communities and conflict, 1000-1350

7 - 9 December 2007

In collaboration with the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical  
Studies, Canterbury, and Canterbury Cathedral Archives, the Faculty  
of Arts and Humanities at Canterbury Christ Church University is  
hosting a conference on 'Cathedrals, Communities and Conflict,  
1000-1350'. This conference aims to consider cathedrals as  
embodiments of community and conflict within the British Isles and  
Normandy during the high Middle Ages. Papers will encourage debate  
about the composition and corporate identities of cathedral  
communities, rivalries within and between cathedral communities,  
their relationship with wider communities (e.g. local aristocracies,  
the Welsh princes and the English crown), and cathedrals as foci for  
wider community identities (e.g. patronage and cult of saints).  
Speakers include: William Aird, Richard Allen, Julia Barrow, Paul  
Dalton, John R. Davies, Marie-Pierre Gelin, Cecil Humphery-Smith,  
Kathryn Hurlock, Charles Insley, Chris Lewis, Stephen Marritt, Thomas  
Roche, Catherine Schulze, Stuart Sharp, Sheila Sweetinburgh, Sarah  
Thomas, Nicholas Vincent, Paul Webster and Ann Williams.

We are very pleased to notify you that all

22 years of our journal Oral Tradition are now

available online and free of charge at



                         http://journal.oraltradition.org



             This site now contains nearly 500 articles

and 10,000 pages, with all of the contents downloadable

as pdf files that you can read online or print out as

you wish. The entire electronic archive of Oral

Tradition is also searchable by keyword or author name,

with phrase-based and Boolean searches possible as

well.



             In return, may we ask you to forward this

e-mail announcement to at least five colleagues in your

field? It would be especially helpful if you selected

colleagues whom you feel might not be aware of Oral

Tradition's migration to an internet-based, open-access

format, or who might not already know that the entire

run of the journal is now available gratis.



             There are also several other ways to assist

us with the process of notifying colleagues, and we

would greatly appreciate your assistance: electronic

links to the site in (1) personal blogs and (2)

professional websites, as well as (3) announcements in

journals and newsletters in your field. Any or all of

these strategies would certainly help to get the news

to colleagues on a broad scale.



Thank you for whatever you can do to help inform our

community and share a resource that was created for the

common good.



             The Center for Studies in Oral Tradition at

the University of Missouri (http://oraltradition.org )

is gratified to be able to offer Oral Tradition to

anyone worldwide with an internet connection and a

browser. We hope that the online, open-access format

will enlarge and diversify the journal's readership,

and particularly that it will offer everyone interested

in the world's oral traditions - regardless of their

location and academic context - an equal opportunity to

contribute actively to the discussion. Our shared field

will prosper most readily if it operates as an academic

democracy without financial or distributional barriers.



             As for future contents, the next issue of

Oral Tradition (volume 22, number 2) will be a special

collection devoted to Basque traditions, and will

include descriptive and analytical articles, interviews

with oral poets, and an eCompanion with photographic,

audio, and video support. Beyond that issue we will be

publishing articles on Albanian oral law, Native

American storytelling, modern Greek oral poetry, Welsh

saints' lives, modern Balinese epic, and many other

topics across the international spectrum.



             We welcome your comments and especially

your submissions for publication.

Editor, Oral Tradition

ANNOUNCEMENT


Corpus Christi College (Cambridge), the Stanford University
  Libraries, and the University of Cambridge are pleased to announce
  the release of a beta version of their Parker on the Web service in
  early October, 2007.


Parker on the Web is an interactive, web-based workspace designed to
support research and teaching with the manuscripts of the Parker
Library at Corpus.

The completed project will include
  high-resolution images of the Library’s 538 manuscripts spanning the
6th to the 16th centuries; a fully-tagged version of M. R. James’  
descriptive catalog, updated and expanded; plus digitized editions,
  translations and secondary scholarship.

The project is supported by
  the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon  
Foundation.

The beta site will be freely accessible at least through 2008 at
http://parkerweb.stanford.edu .  The beta version replaces the  
prototype made available in 2004, and offers a revamped user  
interface, enhanced searching and manuscript-viewing capabilities,  
and expanded metadata, bibliography, and page images for at least  
fifty manuscripts.

The beta version will replace the prototype at the same web address:  
http://parkerweb.stanford.edu

To obtain full access, users will need to register and accept an
  agreement covering permitted uses.  The
site’s development and content are expected to be complete in late
  2009, at which time full access will be available through
  institutional subscriptions only.

We encourage scholars and students in all relevant disciplines to
visit the site, use it freely and frequently, and provide
  feedback.  Instructors or institutions who wish to use the site for
teaching or research are especially encouraged to contact the project

14 December–17 December 2007.

"England and the Continent in the Tenth Century," an International  
Conference in memory of Professor Dr Wilhelm Levison (Died 1947)

In the spring of 1943, in the later stages of the Second World War,  
Prof. Dr Wilhelm Levison, then an honorary fellow of Durham  
University, delivered the Ford Lectures in Oxford under the title,  
England and the Continent in the Eighth Century. His principal  
subject was the conversion to Christianity twelve hundred years ago  
of the Frisians and the Saxons at the hands of English churchmen. The  
published version of those lectures has had an abiding influence on  
the development of early medieval historical research, not least the  
appendices with their great technical command of source criticism.  
This conference is dedicated to the memory of Wilhelm Levison sixty  
years after his death in 1947. Rather than crossing the eighth- 
century landscape which he made his own, it pursues the spirit of his  
work on "England and the Continent" in the context of the tenth century.

Bringing together an impressive array of internationally  
distinguished scholars and also younger scholars of great promise, it  
focuses on:

-England and the Continent

-The Vision of the Past

-Revolution in Church Organisation

-Kingship and Ritual

-Law and Power

-Manuscripts and Culture

The conference has been planned as a coherent, multi-authored  
exploration of these themes, and it has been designed to encourage  
vigorous discussion amongst all those attending.

Anyone interested is warmly welcome to attend. If you have academic  
questions about the conference, please contact the convenor: Prof.  
David Rollason ([log in to unmask]; http://www.dur.ac.uk/ 
conference.booking/details/?id=38).

26 April 2008.
"Bone Dreams: Anglo-Saxon Culture and the Modern Imagination," a  
conference sponsored by the Faculty of English, University of Oxford.

Not all modern writers have agreed with Kingsley Amis that Beowulf is  
an "anonymous, crass, purblind, infantile, featureless heap of  
gangrened elephant's sputum."
This one-day conference will focus on the productive interplay of  
early medieval and modern culture, and in particular the ways in  
which the Anglo-Saxons and their literature have been received,  
confronted and re-envisioned in the modern imagination.

Call for papers: our emphasis will be on Old English writing and its  
relations with literature since 1900, but we shall also consider  
proposals that address topics and media beyond those parameters. We  
welcome proposals (300 words) for papers of up to 20 minutes in  
length. Deadline for proposals is 31 October 2007.

Confirmed speakers include Chris Jones (University of St Andrews),  
author of Strange Likeness: The Use of Old English in Twentieth- 
Century Poetry (Oxford, 2006). Please send proposals, and direct any  
enquiries, to the organizers: David Clark, Univ. of Leicester  
([log in to unmask]), or Nicholas Perkins, St Hugh's College, Univ. of

Wright.

dissimilarities between medieval and modern modalities of  
multilingualism. The organizers particularly invite papers that  
explore these issues through a close analysis of one or two specific  
types of source material.

The deadline for abstracts: 31 January, 2008. A volume of selected  
proceedings is anticipated.
