Religious Iconographies in Illustrated Legal Manuscripts and Printed Books (9th -20th Centuries)

Special Guest Editors: Maria Alessandra Bilotta & Gianluca del Monaco

It is not unusual to come across religious iconographies in miniatures as well as borders and based-page scenes in illustrated legal manuscripts and printed books (9th-20th centuries) containing canon, civil or local law texts, like the Livres juratoires or municipal and professional statutes. Some of these iconographies, for instance those in the Decretum Gratiani or the Liber Extra, Gregory IX’s decretals, have been accurately examined. However, a comprehensive survey providing a global and chronological investigation of these depictions is still wanting. Therefore, the journal “Eikon-Imago”, alongside the research team IUS ILLUMINATUM of Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM) of the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas at the Universidade NOVA in Lisbon, has decided to devote the 2023 special issue to the study and examination of religious iconographies in legal manuscripts and printed books, so as to create a place for discussion and exchange on the diverse artistic, historical and social aspects of these iconographies.

Proposals can concentrate on the following as well as further related themes:      

•  The depiction of liturgical space in illustrated legal manuscripts and printed books.
•  Text-image relation in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  The Holy Trinity in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  The depiction of liturgical rites (Marriage, Eucharist, Benedictions).
•  The pope in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  The bishop in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  Saints in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  Monks in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  Between sacred and profane: religious drolleries in legal manuscripts.
•  Mendicant friars in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  The depiction of religious buildings in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).
•  The depiction of religious authority in legal books (manuscripts and printed volumes).

ΑΝΤΙΟ ΦΙΛΕ

ΤΑΚΗ ΠΑΛΑΙΟΔΗΜΟ

Θλιβεροτατο το αγγελμα του θανάτου του αγαπητού φίλου και εκλεκτού συναδέλφου δημοσιογράφου Δημήτρη ( Τάκη ) Παλαιοδήμου από τα Μελιανά Άρτας.

Ο αδοκητος χαμός του σκόρπισε παντού συγκίνηση και βαθύτατη θλίψη στην οικογένεια του στους συμπατριώτες του των χωριών των Τζουμέρκων της Αρτας, τους συναδέλφους του , σε όλους τους καλούς του φίλους που τον υπεραγαπούσαν και σε όλους τους απόδημους Ηπειρώτες που τον γνώριζαν καλά καθώς για πολλά χρόνια ήταν από τους βασικούς συντελεστές έκδοσης της ΠΑΝΗΠΕΙΡΩΤΙΚΗΣ της εφημερίδας της Πανηπειρωτικής Συνομοσπονδίας Ελλάδας.

Παράλληλα εργαζόταν σε μεγάλες Αθηναϊκές εφημερίδες υπήρξε και για χρόνια συνεργάτης μου στην ημερήσια πανηπειρωτικη εφημερίδα ΗΠΕΙΡΟΣ.

Σεμνός και ταπεινός όλα τα χρόνια ασκούσε το λειτούργημα της δημοσιογραφίας με ήθος, εντιμοτητα, αξιοπρέπεια και μεγάλη πατριδολατρεια καθώς μαχωνταν για το δίκιο την ελευθεροτυπία και για οτιδήποτε Ηπειρωτικό.

Γι'αυτό κέρδισε την εκτίμηση και αγάπη των αναγνωστών του αλλά και όλων των Ηπειρωτών οι οποίοι τον σεβόταν και υπεραγαπούσαν.

Αγωνιστής και μπροσταρης σε κοινωνικούς αγώνες και φυσικά για την προστασία του Ηπειρωτικού περιβάλλοντος και την ανάπτυξη του τόπου του .

Δεν τα παρατούσε εύκολα όταν αγωνίζονταν για το δίκιο του τόπου του και των συμπατριωτών του.

Θεωρούσε την προστασία του περιβάλλοντος και της παράδοσης όρους απαράβατους και δεν έλλειπε από καμία εκδήλωση η δράση για αυτά.

Αδελφός, φίλος συμπαραστάτης και αρωγός σε όλους αλλά και άριστος επαγγελματιας .

Άνθρωπος με αρχές αξίες ιδανικά και ήθος απαράμιλλο.

Αποτέλεσες, αποτελείς και θα αποτελείς ένα φωτεινό παράδειγμα αντρός που θα μας δίδει την ταυτότητα μας. Ήσουν Έλληνας, Ηπειρώτης Αρτινός περιείχες όλα εκείνα τα χαρακτηριστικά που προσδίδουν την ταυτότητα μας η οποία μας βοήθησε να διαβούμε ως φυλή τους αιώνες Ιστορίας μας και να υπάρχουμε ακόμα.

Είχες Ψυχή.

Ποτέ σου δεν σκέφτηκες υστερόβουλα για κάποιον.

Ήσουν δυνατός κι έμπιστος φίλος, ντόμπρος, κι αποζητούσες την ηρεμία και την αγάπη των δικών σου, διάγοντας ταυτόχρονα έναν βίο απέριττο απαλλαγμένο από κάθε τι περιττό! Γελούσες και χαμογελούσες ήσουν καλοσυνάτος κι αγνός χωρίς ποτέ σου να επιδιώξεις κάτι άλλο.

Είθε ο Πανάγαθος τάξει την ψυχή του σε τόπο χλοερο, τόπο αναψυξεως ένθα απέδρα λύπη και στεναγμός.

Και στους οικείους σου να αποστείλει τη εξ ύψους παρηγορία .

Εβλαβικα κλινουμε το γονυ έμπροσθεν του σκηνώματος σου ασπαζόμενος του ιερού Ευαγγελίου και προσευχόμενοι όπως από τη γειτονιά των Αγγέλων όπου θα βρίσκεσαι θα προσεύχεσαι για όλους και για την Ήπειρο.

Θα σε θυμόμαστε πάντα με αγάπη Τάκη.

Ελαφρύ ας είναι το χώμα των αγαπημένων σου Μελιανών που θα σε σκεπάσει.!!!

 

MEMORY, TRAUMA AND RECOVERY, Conference, September 16, 2021 to September 17, 2021

 

Location: 

Poland

Subject Fields:

Scientific Committee:

Professor Wojciech Owczarski – University of Gdańsk, Poland

Professor Polina Golovátina-Mora – NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

 

​CFP:
To remember means sometimes: to experience again. That is the case of trauma. However, recovery from trauma is also based on memory. So the question is not how to forget about bad memories, but how to remember and not suffer.
During this conference we would like to concentrate on the phenomena of trauma and recovery, to look at how memory is involved in the traumatic experience and the recovery process and explore among other questions what we remember and forget, what causes suffering and how to deal with it.
We are interested in all aspects of traumatic experiences, in their individual and collective dimensions, in the past and in the present-day world. We would like to examine the role of memory in both falling into trauma and overcoming it. Thus, we want to describe the phenomena of trauma and recovery in their multifarious manifestations: psychological, social, historical, cultural, philosophical, religious, economic, political, and many others. As usual, we also want to devote considerable attention to how these phenomena appear in artistic practices: literature, film, theatre or visual arts. That is why we invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: anthropology, history, psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, politics, philosophy, economics, law, history of literature, theatre studies, film studies, design, project management, memory studies, migration studies, consciousness studies, dream studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, medical sciences, cognitive sciences, and urban studies, to name w few.
Different forms of presentations are encouraged, including case studies, theoretical inqueries, problem-oriented arguments or comparative analyses.
We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers, as well as doctoral and graduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners, without giving a presentation.

The topics for the conference include but are not limited to the following suggestions:

Critical Heritage Practice: Preferred Futures, Uncertain Presents and Speculative Pasts, Lecture, September 7, 2021

  

Location: 

Germany

Subject Fields: 

Colonial and Post-Colonial History / Studies, Historic Preservation, History Education, History of Science, Medicine, and Technology, Indigenous Studies

Critical Heritage Practice: Preferred Futures, Uncertain Presents and Speculative Pasts
A public lecture by Dean Sully (University College London)

7 Sept. 2021, 14:00 to 15:30 CET (please register for Zoom link)

This presentation will provide a practice-based account of heritage conservation as a set of research methods that contribute to broader debates about the past and concerns about our futures. It will explore the principles of the conservation discipline within a framing of colonialism and the need for additional methodological tools that go beyond the technical ability of heritage to merely present something of the past to be experienced in the present.

In addition to the opportunities provided by conservation’s forensic encounter with the vestigial remains of the past, this will consider the implications of prioritizing either materials, values, or people in heritage conservation policy and practice. Decolonizing, transculturalism, and post-humanism will be presented as tools to challenge the Authorized Heritage Discourse. The potential of critical speculative methods will be presented as ways to highlight the (un)certainty of authorizing knowledge production in providing stories of the past and the future.

The implications of conserving heritage in the environmental humanities of the Anthropocene will be examined as a response to the projected rupture of time ahead of us, rather than behind us in the past. This will plot a shift in the focus of heritage practice in its salvage paradigm, replacing a response to the absence created in the progress towards a new optimistic future, with action to salvage sufficient resources to sustain human populations in their anticipated future broken worlds. This enables heritage practice to provide new ways to propose implausible but real nows, and realizable preferable futures.

Two heritage projects will be discussed as examples of the application of decolonizing, transcultural, critical heritage, and post-humanist practice in the conservation of heritage places and objects. The case studies will form the focus of two subsequent workshops:

Workshop 1 (Decolonizing One Discipline at a Time, Starting with Heritage Conservation): decolonizing and transcultural methods will be highlighted in a heritage conservation project: Hinemihi, the wharenui at Clandon Park, UK/Te Wairoa, Aotearoa (New Zealand).

Workshop 2 (Role of Creative Practice in Heritage Process: Speculative Pasts from Certain Futures. Past, Present and Future, Which Comes First?): critical heritage and post-humanist methods will be discussed in relation to a critical speculative design project: "Objects of the Misanthropocene, Insouciant Artefacts from the Museums of Beyond."

This lecture is part of the 2021 Methods Intensive Master Class at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and open to all. Please click here to register for the Zoom link: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMqc-ygrjopGtDsYtPawu56fuQ7UHkw38Pf

Mental Health & Wellness in Graduate School, Call for Papers, March 10, 2022 to March 13, 2022

 

: 

Subject Fields: 

Teaching and Learning, Research and Methodology

Mental health related challenges among graduate students have long been known as a serious concern across universities throughout the world. Findings from a recent survey of graduate students across numerous fields of study, countries, and institutions suggest that graduate students are over six times more likely to experience anxiety and depression than the general population (Evans et. al 2018). Women, LGBTQ students and graduate students from other, minoritized, underrepresented groups in universities are even more vulnerable to such issues. Hostile workplaces, unmanageable workloads, difficult relationships with supervisors, financial precarities compounded by a decimated job market further exacerbate the mental health-related challenges faced by graduate students. This GSC-sponsored panel aims to offer a robust discussion on this often unaddressed topic by suggesting likely solutions that university administrators, faculty, and advisors can adopt to better support graduate students’ mental health particularly in a post-pandemic landscape.

We invite proposals of around 250 words accompanied by a bio of at most 100 words. Topics might include but are not limited to:

 

Safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students

Safe spaces for graduate students of color

Safe spaces for graduate students with disabilities

Tips to improve graduate students’ financial wellness

Protecting the mental health of Asian/Asian American students at a time of historic rise in anti-Asian violence and rhetoric

Mental health during the dissertation writing stage

How graduate student unions can advocate for fairer labor practices

How advisors can better support graduate advisees

Tips for university administrators, campus resources/organizations to accommodate graduate students’ mental health

What Student Health & Wellness Services can do better to serve graduate students

Borders and Detective Fiction, Call for Papers, November 1, 2021

 

Subject Fields: 

Literature, Popular Culture Studies, Humanities, Borderlands, Women's & Gender History / Studies

For this theme issue of Clues, proposals are sought from a wide variety of critical, national, and cultural perspectives addressing how and why borders are represented in detective fiction, film, television, or other media (e.g., computer games, graphic novels, radio drama, podcasts). As David Newman and Anssi Paasi argue, “The construction of boundaries at all scales and dimensions takes place through narrativity.” Thus, it makes sense to turn to the detective story, a genre whose plots conceptualize issues of morality, legality, security, and transgression to understand the ways in which borders are conceptualized and mediated. Crossing borders can signify openness, mobility, cultural exchange, and cooperation. But the border can also be a site of surveillance, discipline, risk, exclusion, and violence, a place where geographic, cultural, economic, and bodily integrity are rendered vulnerable. It can, in short, be the scene of (the) crime. How do imaginative narratives across the diverse range of historical and contemporary crime fiction constitute investigations of defined, dynamic, and/or developing border spaces?
Suggested topics:

• Detective fiction and migrancy/refugees
• Ecological crime across border lines
• Colonial borders and Indigenous territory in crime fiction
• Detective fiction and international relations
• National and racial boundaries in crime fiction
• Crime fiction and border (in)security and surveillance
• Interjurisdictional law enforcement
• Borders and international travel in detective fiction
• Globalization and/as crime
• Historically unstable and redefined borders in crime fiction
• The detective as border-crosser or border defender
• Detective fiction and borderland cultures
• Transnational crimes (e.g., trafficking in humans, drugs, arms)
• Crime writers and multiple citizenships
• Borders and gender/sexuality in detective fiction

Submissions should include a proposal of 250–300 words and a brief biosketch. Full manuscripts of approximately 3,300 to 6,000 words based on an accepted proposal will be due in February 2022.
