medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
***Thinking Reciprocity*** mini-series
Bristol University, 8-10 July 2010
Registration is now open for 'Thinking Reciprocity', a mini-series of
events comprising 'Reception and the Gift of Beauty' and
Desiring the Text, Touching the Past' organised
with the aim of starting new conversations about reception, subjectivity,
and creativity as they relate to classical, medieval, and post-modern
texts. We are eager to develop ways of thinking about how the self
navigates and creates the world of the text and the text of the world. We
believe that classical and medieval traditions share much with
contemporary discourse and that by considering specific texts and how we
think about them, we can open new lines of exploration into their living
development in their interplay with the reader, author, viewer, lover.
Places are limited, so please register early.
Discount for postgraduates & delegates attending both events.
