International Symposium:
La Sibil·la. So. Imatge. Litúrgia. Escena
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Facultat de Lletres, Sala d’actes
20-21 November 2014

D’ençà que l’any 2010 la interpretació del Cant de la Sibil·la a l’Illa de Mallorca esdevingué part del Patrimoni intangible de la UNESCO, la Sibil·la s’ha posat d’actualitat. Existeix, no obstant això, una certa confusió sobre el que signifiquen la Sibil·la i el seu cant, sobre quins són els seus orígens, sobre el nombre de Sibil·les i el seu simbolisme, sobre la seva representació en les arts plàstiques, sobre la seva posada en escena i sobre molts altres aspectes “sibil·lins” que busquem clarificar en un Simposi interdisciplinar que pretén ampliar el nostre coneixement sobre un patrimoni cultural que és únic i al mateix temps universal.

Desde que en el año 2010 la interpretación del Canto de la Sibila en la isla de Mallorca pasó a formar parte del Patrimonio intangible de la UNESCO, la Sibila se ha puesto de actualidad. Existe, no obstante, cierta confusión sobre lo que significan la Sibila y su canto, sobre cuáles son sus orígenes, sobre el número de Sibilas y su simbolismo, sobre su representación en las artes plásticas, sobre su puesta en escena y sobre otros muchos aspectos “sibilinos” que buscamos clarificar en un Simposio interdisciplinar que pretende ampliar nuestro conocimiento sobre un patrimonio cultural que es único y a la vez universal.

Study Days: “Merveilleux, marges et marginalité dans la littérature et l’enluminure profanes en France et dans les régions septentrionales (XIIe-XVe siècles)” (Lille, October 2014 ; Rennes, November 2014)

Study Days:
Merveilleux, marges et marginalité dans la littérature et l’enluminure profanes en France et dans les régions septentrionales (XIIe-XVe siècles)
Lille, Université de Lille 3, 16 October 2014
Rennes, Université de Rennes, 27 November 2014

La représentation du merveilleux est peu étudiée car les travaux portant sur ce sujet émanent principalement de chercheurs en littérature. Pourtant, celui-ci étant par essence indicible et fondamentalement lié à la vue, une approche iconographique s’avère nécessaire : dans quelle mesure et par quels moyens figuratifs et conceptuels le merveilleux est-il représentable ?
L’objectif des journées est, d’une part, d’étudier la figuration des lieux, des personnages et des objets merveilleux dans les miniatures et initiales enluminées, et la façon dont leur caractère marginal est signifié dans l’image. D’autre part, nous nous intéresserons au développement de thèmes et motifs merveilleux dans les marges des manuscrits profanes, les recherches s’étant concentrées jusqu’à présent sur les manuscrits sacrés. Il semble également important d’étudier conjointement les évolutions de la représentation du merveilleux dans la littérature et dans l’iconographie ainsi que l’influence de l’histoire des mentalités sur le travail des enlumineurs et les auteurs. Ces journées d’études entrent dans une démarche interdisciplinaire, réunissant autour d’un axe de recherche commun littéraires, historiens et historiens de l’art.

CFP: The Door of the Sanctuary: A Place of Transition (Amsterdam, 27-29 May 2015), deadline 15 October 2014

In sanctuaries, the boundaries between the profane and the sacred are marked by doors on different levels, either physical or symbolic: gateways in a precinct, the outer doors of a temple or church, the inner doors of a cella or holy of holies. Pagans and Christians have recorded their perceptions of these liminal spaces in literature, giving us a glimpse of their emotions and ideas. What did someone entering a pagan or Christian sanctuary see, hear, smell, feel? Who was excluded at the door, who was admitted? What symbolic meaning did a door have? What continuities and changes can be identified in Late Antiquity?

The conference aims to elucidate the transition from the worldly to the divine by focusing on the door of the sanctuary during Late Antiquity, a key period of transition in which, with the spread of Christianity, cultural paradigms were redefined. With pagans and Christians living side by side there were many religious debates. During this period, description of churches developed into a specific genre. An early example in the Greek East is Eusebius’ description (in his Ecclesiastical History X.4.37ss.) of the church of Tyre built by the bishop Paulinus (ca. 316-317). The door plays a decisive role in this description. A similar example in the Latin West is the description of the doors of the basilica of Felix by Paulinus of Nola, in Letter 32 and Carmina 27 and 28.

The theme of the conference, the experience of the sanctuary door as a place of transition, will be addressed by an interdisciplinary and dynamic approach. This will embrace literary and material sources from the 3rd to the 8th centuries CE, from different regions of the Mediterranean world and from different linguistic, religious and cultural contexts. It will deal with sensory perceptions (light, music, smell, touch) and intellectual perceptions (symbolic meanings). A further dimension to this theme may be added by comparative studies from other religions, i.e. papers on the door of the sanctuary in Judaism and Islam.

It is intended that participants of the conference (some 10-15 persons) will come from different disciplines: specialists in Greek and Latin, archaeology, art history and history of religion. Each participant should aim to deliver a transdisciplinary paper on the door of the sanctuary in pagan or Christian Late Antiquity, in the Greek East or in the Latin West. He/she should depart from his/her own field of expertise, relate material, sociological, ritual and symbolic aspects to each other and explore different kinds of experiences as fully as possible. During the conference, participants will work together as an interdisciplinary team. Each participant will present his/her paper in plenary sessions and act as a referee to the paper of another participant from another discipline. The results of the conference – an introduction and a selection of representative papers – will be published in a thematic volume.

Although we shall be able to reimburse some of the participants’ costs, at present we are unable to say to what extent. We would therefore be grateful if you could also apply for financial support from your own institution.

Members from faculties, independent researchers and graduate students (PhD) are invited to submit an abstract of no more than 500 words together with a brief biography and a list of publications to Emilie M. van Opstall (e.m.van.opstall@vu.nl), with as an email title ‘The Door of the Sanctuary’. Closing date: October 15th 2014. Notification of acceptance will be sent by November 15th, 2014.

Conference: Clothing Sacred Scripture (Zurich, 9-11 October 2014)

International Conference:
Clothing Sacred Scripture: Book Art and Book Religions in the Middle Ages
9-11 October 2014
Universitaet Zuerich, Raemistrasse 71, KOL-G-217

In a traditional perspective, book religions are seen as agents of logocentrism, establishing a sharp dichotomy between scripture and aesthetics, religion and art. The conference aims to broaden this perspective by a comparative and transcultural approach to religious
book culture exploring the specific »aesthetics of inlibration« of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in the Middle Ages. The conference will reflect upon the different strategies of »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and ornate forms in pretypographic cultures to create a close relation between the divine words and their human
audience. Conducted by an art historical focus the conference contributes to the nexus between sacred scripture and art by exploring how art shapes the religious practice of books, and how the central importance of religious books shapes the evolution of artistic practices.

Even though maintaining the traditional topics of the previous congresses, the organizers proposed a specific section devoted to Italy and the Turkish world. They ask participants wishing to give lectures, to submit abstracts on any of the following topics (grouped under three headings):

I. Turkish Arts and Aesthetics
a) Architecture
b) Painting, painters and the decorative arts
c) Arts of the book
d) Arts of fire: Tiles, ceramics and glass
e) Metalwork
f) Rugs and textiles
g) Scholars, collectors and collections
h) Turkish Arts in Europe/Italian collections

II. Italy and the Turkish World: Interactions
a) Architecture and decoration
b) Trade, diplomacy and the arts
c) The image of the Turk in Italian art
d) Naples and the Ottoman World
e) Music and performing arts

III. Archeology/Excavations

The languages of the Congress will be Turkish, English and Italian. The papers should not exceed 20 minutes in duration. Abstracts should only be submitted in English (min. length 250, max 500 words) and sent to the Italian Organizing Committee. Simultaneous translation will not be available at the Congress.

In view of the great interest that is expected, the International Organizing Committee reserves the right to decide on the papers to be given on the basis of the abstracts submitted. Adjudication will take place using the blind evaluation method. Those submitting abstracts will be informed of the International Organizing Committee’s decision at the time of the Second Circular is sent out, at latest by November 2014.

Those wishing simply to attend to the Congress (i.e. without reading a paper) should notify the Italian Organizing Committee of their intention to do so by October 30th 2014.

Deadline for proposals: 30 September 2014.

CFP: The World of St. Francis of Assisi (Siena, 17-19 July 2015)

Call for Papers:
The World of St. Francis of Assisi (Siena, 17-10 July 2015)
Deadline: 15 October 2014

When Jorge Bergoglio became the first pope to choose the name Francis, it served as a reminder of Francis of Assisi’s profound effect on the world in the eight centuries since his death. During his lifetime, Francis challenged religious, social, and economic norms and helped reenergize a Church under assault. He founded the most popular religious order of the Middle Ages, and from the thirteenth century up to the present, Franciscans have attracted devotees from Assisi to Latin America and beyond. The program committee invites proposals for papers on any number of topics that consider the legacy of Francis and the Franciscans including:

The meaning and significance of Franciscan art in its medieval, Renaissance, and modern contexts
Francis’ legacy of interfaith dialogue and peacemaking
Female orders of Franciscan nuns, including the Poor Clares and Clarissan Nuns
Francis’ economic, social, and environmental views and their legacy
Franciscan spirituality, poverty, or the teaching of St. Francis to modern audiences
The history of the Franciscan order

This conference is open to scholars from all academic disciplines, including history, art history, literature, English, theology, philosophy, Church history, and environmental studies.

In addition to individual papers, the program committee will also entertain proposals for special sessions (3 papers) and panel discussions on a particular topic.

We welcome 250-word abstracts of papers (20 minutes), with an additional short CV. All proposals will be reviewed by the conference committee. Proposals (in a PDF file, or in Word) should be sent as an email attachment to francisconference2015@gmail.com by October 15, 2014. Notification of acceptance will be sent by November 15, 2014.

The conference will be held in Siena at the Siena School for the Liberal Arts. It will include keynote lectures by Fr. Michael Cusato (Director of the Franciscan Institute at St. Bonaventure) and Ron Herzman, SUNY Geneseo Distinguished Teaching Professor of English. A dinner for conference participants is planned for Saturday night, as well as an excursion to Assisi with a guided tour led by Dr. William R. Cook (SUNY Geneseo Dinstiguished Teaching Professor of History) for Sunday.
