Eastern Resonances 1: Ottoman Empire and Persia, 16th-18th centuries

Contrary to 'the echo' or 'the trace', which both imply an enduring, but fading prolongation of a presence, 'resonance' suggests not only a continuation, but a reinforcement of a sound or image, provoked by a reflection on another surface. Taking from Stephen Greenblatt's definition of 'resonance' as 'the power of the object displayed to reach out beyond its formal boundaries to a larger world, to evoke in the viewer the complex, dynamic cultural forces from which it has emerged' ('Resonance and Wonder', in Learning to Curse, p. 170), this conference aims at studying the moves, shifts, transformations and translations through which the idea of the East resonated in Europe in general, and Britain in particular, from the early modern period to the romantic age.

Calling into question the adversarial nature of Orientalism as defined by Edward Said, our conference will address the deterritorializations and reterritorializations (to borrow the concepts developed by Deleuze and Guattari in Anti-Odipus) through which the East reshaped itself in the West through its many reflections and reverberations. Our focus will not just be on what was lost and what was gained along the routes of such recuperations, but we also wish to chart in greater detail the routes themselves, the people who crossed them and the motivations underpinning these attempts at reaching, understanding and picturing the East.

The first of our series of two conferences on 'Eastern Resonances', to be held at the University of Montpellier 3 (30 May-1 June 2013), will focus on the Ottoman empire and Persia, while the focus of the second, to be held at the University of Paris Diderot - Paris 7 (5-7 Dec. 2013), will be on India and the Far East. These geographical frames have been chosen mostly for practical reasons, but in keeping with the subject of 'resonances', contributions which would cross these boundaries or challenge them will also be welcome.

Suggested areas of reflection for the first conference could include:

1. Texts and their circulation/translation: What were the Arabic, Persian and Turkish texts which resonated in the West in this period? Through what channels did manuscripts and books travel? Why and how did they reach Britain in adapted or translated forms?
2. Places and their memories: What did travellers look back to in historical and cultural terms as they embarked on their journeys to the East? What images did they bring back with them from their eastern encounters? How did these reverberate as literary and artistic artefacts at the receiving end of the journey?
3. Actors and intermediaries: Who went East or West, and why did they? Who were their interlocutors or mediators there? Why and how were 'contact zones' created? On what terms was trust granted and collaborative research carried on?

For 'Eastern Resonances 1: Ottoman empire and Persia', a title for the proposed paper should be sent by April 15, 2012 and short proposals in English (250 words) with a brief biographical statement by May 15, 2012 to the conference organisers:

• Dr Claire Gallien, University of Montpellier 3: <claire.gallien@univ-montp3.fr>
• Pr Jean-Marie Fournier, University of Paris 7: <jean-marie.fournier@univ-paris-diderot.fr>
• Dr Ladan Niayesh, University of Paris 7: <niayesh@univ-paris-diderot.fr>

Papers should be 30 minutes in length and may be presented either in French or English. We intend to publish a selected number of papers from the two conferences in a volume of essays on the topic of 'Eastern Resonances'.

Forum for European Philosophy Event | Immortality

Wednesday 30 May, 6.30 – 8pm
Old Theatre, Old Building, LSE

Stephen Cave, philosopher and writer. He is the author of Immortality: The Quest to Live Forever and How It Drives Civilisation
John Gray, Emeritus Professor of European Thought, LSE. He is the author of The Immortalization Commission: the Strange Quest to Cheat Death

Chair: Simon Glendinning, Reader in European Philosophy, European Institute, LSE and Director of the Forum for European Philosophy

Every human culture has claimed some way of defeating death, whether through mummification, reincarnation, or resurrection when the last trumpet sounds. In our age of failed ideologies and empty churches, many now hope science will provide the route to everlasting life. Can it? Should we even want it to? And is the will to live forever, which has so shaped the human story, a blessing or a curse?

Forum for European Philosophy Event | Singing Neanderthals? The Evolution of Music and Language

Tuesday 22 May, 6.30-8.00pm
Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building, LSE

Steven Mithen, Professor of Early Prehistory and Pro-Vice Chancellor, University of Reading. He is the author of The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, Mind, and Body

Chair: Kristina Musholt, LSE Fellow, Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method and Deputy Director of the Forum for European Philosophy

The relationship between music and language has been discussed by philosophers ever since Giambattista Vico in the 17th century, and probably before. Today many disciplines contribute to this debate, notably neuroscience and comparative ethology. This lecture will bring a perspective from archaeology, interpreting the artefacts and fossils of our extinct stone-age ancestors and relatives. It will find that they may have been singing long before they were speaking.

Religious Lives: Catholic Culture in the Early Modern World

Friday 18–Saturday 19 May 2012

St Edmund Hall and Queen’s College Chapel, Oxford

Written, spoken, painted, or performed, the life stories of Catholic men and women – particularly members of religious orders – dominated the culture of early modern Catholicism. This conference will address the growing body of scholarship devoted to understanding biographies and auto-biographies as they appeared in various forms within religious communities and Catholic society at large. These include institutional chronicles, canonization documents, festive decorations, images and pictorial cycles, and musical pieces, in addition to auto/biographical texts and spiritual testimonies – to name only a few. Many such narratives remained amongst a small audience, whilst others crossed national boundaries and were introduced in new, altered or translated forms. The conference will explore how life narratives were presented, interpreted and used to express confessional viewpoints and the corporate identities of religious orders. We seek to bring scholars from the disciplines of literature, history, theology, art history and music into conversation about the forms and functions of religious life stories in Asian, African, European and new world contexts.

The conference will include a period performance of Giovanni Lorenzo Lulier’s biographical oratorio ‘S. Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi’ by Oxford Baroque. The oratorio premiered at the Palazzo Pamphili, Rome in 1687. This piece will be placed in its historical context, opening discussion on the modes and purposes of articulating Catholic lives.

For further details of the conference and oratorio, and to reserve a place, please visit our website: http://religiouslives.wordpress.com/

Call for papers:

We would particularly like to encourage papers from graduates in the areas of art history and music and/or focusing on Asia or the new world. Papers addressing British, Irish or Continental subjects or from the disciplines of history, literature, and theology are also most welcome. Please email proposals of no more than 300 words to religiouslives@gmail.com by 10 April 2012. A number of graduate bursaries are available to fund graduate speakers thanks to the generosity of the Society for Renaissance Studies.

• What, if anything, was distinctive to the genres of biography and auto-biography in the post-Reformation period?
• How hagiographical were representations of religious lives?
• How collaborative was the process of constructing a life
• To what extent were auto/biographical lives imitative of lives in the same media or other media?
• In what ways were accounts of lives put to polemical uses?
• How were the identities of religious orders and their members expressed in or influenced by accounts of exemplary lives?
• How were life stories transmitted across national lines and how were they read/consumed/witnessed within different contexts?

Call for Papers: Ars et Medicina symposium

7-8. May 2012, The Norwegian Institute in Rome, Italy

From antiquity to the present, medical science and art have been inextricably entwined. The first anatomical theories in Ancient Greece developed in conjunction with and parallel to artistic theories about human proportions. From the 16th c. artists practiced dissection in order to improve their depictions of human form, and their drawings in anatomical atlases were used to educate generations of medical professionals. The Charcot school in Paris studies art works in an attempt to improve their understanding of psychological phenomena like hysteria. Sigmund Freud ´s psychological theories were enriched by his study of literature, and his theories inspired the arts of literature and film. The theory and practice of connoisseurship is based on principles borrowed from medical science. Contemporary artists collaborate with medical scientists, and medical professionals still find inspiration for new medical techniques and practices in art. The lectures in this symposium will necessarily be only a small selection of in-depth case studies illustrating the varied relationships between art and medicine.

The symposium lectures will be structured in sessions composed of lectures related to each other by topic and/or disciplinary perspective. Both medical scientists with interests in the arts, and scholars of the arts with interests in science and medicine are encouraged to participate. One goal of the symposium is to provoke all participants to confront the challenge of engaging in discussion of how medical science and the humanities enrich and inspire each other.

We hope that the participants will attempt to transcend disciplinary borders and challenge pre-existing interpretations of the relationship between medical theory, practice and artistic expression.

All lectures will be published as videopodcasts. Selected papers will be included in a subsequent edited digital book or journal volume devoted to the symposium topic. The symposium papers should be 20 minutes (ca. 10 double-spaced pages) and in English.

Please send a one-page CV and an abstract of 150-200 words to Einar Petterson einarp@ifikk.uio.no by March 15, 2012.

Participants will be notified by March 25, 2012.

Organizers:
Einar Petterson, Professor of Art History, University of Oslo, Norway

Objecting to God (Cambridge University Press, 2011)

The growth of science and a correspondingly scientific way of looking at
evidence have for the last three centuries slowly been gaining ground
over religious explanations of the cosmos and mankind's place in it.
However, not only is secularism now under renewed attack from religious
fundamentalism, but it has also been widely claimed that the scientific
evidence itself points strongly to a universe deliberately fine-tuned
for life to evolve in it. In addition, certain aspects of human life,
like consciousness and the ability to recognise the existence of
universal moral standards, seem completely resistant to evolutionary
explanation. In this book Colin Howson analyses in detail the evidence
which is claimed to support belief in God's existence and argues that
the claim is not well-founded. Moreover, there is very compelling
evidence that an all-powerful, all-knowing God not only does not exist
but cannot exist, a conclusion both surprising and provocative.

A Performance History of Plays Written By Early Modern Women (Lumley – Behn)

While plays written by women are now part of the scholarly canon, the irregular performances or readings that do take place are mainly private events in academic environments. Gathering information on these ‘irregular’ performances requires intensive searching that often produces inadequate data because there is an acute lack of stage and performance history of the plays written by early women dramatists. From the small amount of material we have there can be no doubt that plays by early women dramatists are performable in both private and public spaces, but there can be no tradition of performance, no chance of building upon earlier productions, if no stage history exists. Just as the plays themselves became lost or muted after their composition, so the lack of scholarly projects based on the performance history of early women’s dramatic writing prevents the development of a repository of previous production experience and, as such, hinders future stagings. If we cannot prove that these plays were performable, how can we ensure that in the future they will be performed?

This summer I will begin a three-year project that aims to gather information about the performance of Early Modern women’s plays. If you have any information I would be really grateful to have:

Any paper materials or recordings about past, present or future productions
If you are planning a production, could you let me know with the possibility of filming it?
If you have published anything that might be relevant – and this includes performance possibilities from the time of the play’s composition to today – can you give me link ?
If you have worked on, acted in or been a spectator of any performance would you be prepared to be interviewed about your experience?

Thank you for your help and I very much look forward to hearing from you

Visiting Fellowship in Strasbourg

The Research Group EA 2325 SEARCH "Savoirs dans l'Espace Anglophone: Représentations, Culture, Histoire," University of Strasbourg (France), offers a Visiting Fellowship in the Humanities for the second year running.

Applications for a period of six months (January to June 2013) are now invited from scholars wishing to pursue research in any of the areas covered by the Group and engage in active participation in the Group's activities.

EA 2325 SEARCH has particular strengths in the following areas:

o Literature, 16th to 18th centuries

o Celtic studies

o Canadian studies

o Nabokov and contemporary American literature

o Contemporary American politics and culture

o India

Two scholarly societies are hosted by the University of Strasbourg and run by members of EA2325: "Société d'Études Canadiennes" and "Société Française Nabokov." Strasbourg has also been selected to coordinate research on 16th-18th centuries in the English-speaking world for the East of France.

EA2325 is made up of about forty professors, lecturers and doctoral students, who contribute to the Group's main research topic. As of September 2012 the theme of interest is "Contacts, frictions, clashes." EA2325 organizes seminars and conferences throughout the year, and is involved in fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue with other Research Groups in the University: modern languages, French literature, history, theology. The Visiting Fellow will be encouraged to take part in these activities and will be invited to present a paper at one of our seminars.

The Group has strong ties with scholars from the Universities of Basel (Switzerland), Freiburg-im-Breisgau (Germany), Haute-Alsace-Mulhouse (France) within the EUCOR-English network. The applicant will have the opportunity to present a paper in the EUCOR seminars and will have free access to the libraries of the four institutions.

The Fellowship is conceived as an opportunity to combine individual and self-directed research and engagement with the research conducted in the Group. Although the Fellowship does not imply full-time residence in Strasbourg, it would be of particular interest to scholars on leave from their home institutions, so as best to benefit from the city's rich cultural life and long-standing University tradition.

A CV and a cover letter stating how the applicant's project would fit in with the Group's activities should be sent to Prof. Jean-Jacques Chardin (chardin@unistra.fr) and Prof. Anne Bandry-Scubbi (bandry@unistra.fr) by September 15, 2012.
