WORKSHOP & CFP: "Debt, being in debt and endebtedness in medieval texts" (Nantes, April 29 2016)

WHAT Debt, being in debt and endebtedness in medieval texts/ Dette, endettement, et redevabilité dans les textes médiévaux, Workshop & Call for papers

WHEN April 29 2016

WHERE Nantes, University of Nantes

deadline January 31 2016

Les textes médiévaux sont parfois comparés à des excroissances de sources qui les précèdent, envers lesquelles ils ont une dette, puisqu’ils y empruntent des éléments, s’en font les passeurs et adaptateurs. La dette littéraire constitue indéniablement l’un des traits définitoires de la production textuelle au Moyen Âge. Preuve en sont, entre autres, Lay le Freine et Sir Launfal, des lais bretons moyen-anglais. Un autre aspect du contexte médiéval concerne l’essor dans l’Occident chrétien à partir du XIIIe siècle d’un système économique florissant. L’expansion économique, concomitante à la croissance urbaine, exerce une influence décisive sur la conception chrétienne de l’argent et des contrats financiers (voir le Tractatus de Contractibus de Pierre Jean de Olivi à la fin du XIIIe siècle). 

CALL FOR PAPERS: "Legal Circulation and Artistic, Intellectual and Cultural Practices in Medieval Europe (13th-16th Centuries)" (Lissabon, 25-27 Feb 2016) (DEADLINE 30 Oct 2015)

Summary and thematic axes:

Le colloque international Medieval Europe in Motion 3 poursuit la série de rencontres scientifiques inaugurée en 2013 par l’Institut d’Études Médiévales (IEM) de l’Université Nouvelle de Lisbonne sur la thématique des mobilités artistiques et culturelles en Europe au Moyen Âge (https://sites.google.com/site/medievaleuropeinmotion2013/home). 

L’objectif principal de ce nouveau colloque, en continuité thématique avec les deux éditions précédentes, est d’analyser les phénomènes de circulation et de mobilité des élites lettrées (clercs, universitaires, praticiens), des enlumineurs, des manuscrits, des textes, des modèles artistiques et des idées liés à la pratique du droit dans le territoire européen avec une attention particulière pour les contrées méridionales (péninsule Ibérique, France du Midi et Italie). 

Seront également analysées la manière dont ces phénomènes de mobilité ont interagi avec les processus de systématisation de l’enseignement et la pratique du droit, ainsi que la représentation visuelle de l’exercice du droit dans les enluminures des manuscrits. 

Il ne s’agit pas d’un sujet complètement inédit dans le contexte des études d’histoire de la culture, de l’art et de l’économie, car plusieurs rencontres concernant des problématiques proches ont été organisées depuis quelques années. Il demeure que toutes ces thématiques n’ont pas souvent été mises en relation. Le colloque se propose de mener une analyse globale des aspects liés aux mobilités culturelles et juridiques pour donner un état de la question, susciter de nouvelles perspectives de recherche, et avancer ainsi dans l’étude et la connaissance de ces problématiques. 

Pour cela, on abordera en premier lieu l’analyse du phénomène de la mobilité universitaire liée à l’enseignement du droit dans les différentes régions de l’Europe : comment cela se passait-il ? Qui voyageait ? Où les voyageurs se déplaçaient-ils et quelles étaient les villes les plus touchées par ce phénomène ? 

En second lieu, le colloque vise à montrer comment ce phénomène de mobilité a également eu une incidence sur la confection des manuscrits juridiques enluminés et comment leur circulation et celle des enlumineurs ont influencé, stimulé, ainsi que modifié les processus de production et de création iconographique et stylistique dans les régions géographiques concernées. 

Pour ce qui est du rôle des commanditaires, particuliers ou institutionnels (les commandes institutionnelles passaient souvent par le truchement d'individus, les cardinaux pour la Curie pontificale, les docteurs pour les universités, les podestats ou les juristes à leur service pour les villes et les communes), on se posera les questions suivantes : qui sont les commanditaires des manuscrits juridiques enluminés et pourquoi les possèdent-ils ? Quelles motivations sociales, politiques et économiques peuvent justifier leur commande ? 

Dans le domaine de l’illustration des manuscrits juridiques, on se demandera quels sont les modèles iconographiques utilisés pour représenter visuellement l’exercice de la justice ou la manière d’enseigner dans les manuscrits de droit enluminés. Quels sont les contextes culturels dans lesquels ces manuscrits sont produits ? De quelle manière la production de manuscrits juridiques, en particulier dans l’aire géographique considérée (France méridionale, péninsule Ibérique, Italie), a-t-elle été influencée par la présence d’enlumineurs étrangers ? 

Dans le domaine de la codicologie, on analysera les aspects matériels de ces manuscrits juridiques pour voir comment ils influencent aussi la technique de production, ainsi que les caractères physiques de l’objet-livre. 

Enfin, on cherchera à étudier ces phénomènes de mobilité et de circulation, non pas de façon isolée, mais en les intégrant dans leurs contextes sociaux, politiques, culturels et économiques. 

Dans cette perspective, les propositions de communication (20 minutes) pourront s’organiser en plusieurs axes : 

• La peregrinatio academica dans le contexte de la culture juridique 
• Les modalités de l’enseignement et de la pratique du droit en Europe (XIIIe-XVe siècle) 
• Les contextes sociaux, économiques, culturels et artistiques liés à la pratique du droit. 
• La production de livres manuscrits juridiques (enluminés ou non) : les contextes économiques et culturels de production ; le livre juridique en relation avec d’autres types de manuscrits enluminés ; la place du livre juridique dans le contexte de la production artistique médiévale ; l’institution des studia et les manuscrits juridiques enluminés ; les peciae et les manuscrits enluminés ; les manuscrits juridiques enluminés sur le Continent et en Angleterre ; la transition du manuscrit juridique enluminé au livre imprimé. 
• Le support concret que peuvent représenter les manuscrits juridiques dans la construction d'un ordre juridique et l’affermissement de la pratique judiciaire, une dimension performative et effective du livre juridique qui peut conditionner, tout à la fois, sa production, sa circulation, sa possession et ses usages. 
• Les personnes, les idées ainsi que les objets liés à la pratique du droit et à sa circulation dans l’Europe médiévale (XIIIe – XVe siècle).

Practical modalities:

Les propositions de communications (en français, anglais, espagnol, portugais ou italien), accompagnées d’un bref CV (1 page maximum), sont à envoyer au contact ci-dessous avant le 30 octobre 2015 : memconference2016@gmail.com.

BOOK: "Sanctuary and Crime in the Middle Ages, 400-1500 ", by Karl Shoemaker

Sanctuary and Crime in the Middle Ages, 400-1500, by Karl Shoemaker, (University of Wisconsin, Madison)

Sanctuary and Crime in the Middle Ages, 400–1500 rethinks the history of sanctuary protections for criminals in the Western legal tradition. From the twilight of the Roman Empire until the sixteenth century, every major medieval legal tradition afforded protections to fugitive criminals who took sanctuary in churches. Sanctuary-seeking criminals might have been required to perform penance or go into exile, but they were guaranteed immunity from corporal and capital punishment. In the sixteenth century, sanctuary protections were abolished throughout Europe, uprooting an ancient tradition and replacing it with a new set of juridical arguments about law, crime, and the power to punish.

CFP: The Law and the Child in Historical Perspective, 1400-2000 (Minneapolis, 1-2 June 2014)

What: Conference on "The Law and the Child in Historical Perspective, 1400-2000"

Where:University of Minnesota Law School, 229 19th Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN 55455

When: June 1-2, 2014

Deadline for proposals (300 words): December 20, 2013

The study of the history of children, youth and childhood has grown dramatically in the last two decades, making age a new category of historical analysis. The Law and the Child will focus on law's central role in changing understandings of childhood and children's experiences, considering among other things selfhood, family, market relations, society, and state. Our hope is for a broad reach geographically and chronologically, from the Medieval World to the Twenty-First Century, and for papers that consider the multiple sources that intersect in thelegal construction of childhood and in children's lived legal experiences. These include race, class, gender, disability, sexuality, ethnicity, psychology, dependency, agency, citizenship, and (il)legitimacy. We also hope papers will address topics in both civil and criminal law. The conference, one of a series begun in 2007, isintended to showcase the work of junior scholars working the field of legal history and to bring them into conversation with senior scholars. 

It is co-sponsored by the University of Minnesota Law School and History Department, the Childhood and Youth Studies Across the Disciplines IAS Research Collaborative at the University of Minnesota, the Indiana University School of Law, the University of Pennsylvania Law School and History Department, the University of Illinois College of Law, the University of Michigan Law School, and the University of Chicago Department of History.

Interested participants should submit a proposal of no more than 300 words, in Word format, accompanied by a cv of no more than 3 pages to Barbara Welke at welke004@umn.edu. All proposals are due by 20 December 2013. 
Applicants will be notified by email no later than 17 February 2014 whether their proposals have been accepted for presentation. No previously published work will be accepted, as the conference isdesigned to provide a forum for productive and supportive discussion of works in progress.
Accepted participants will be required to submit a full paper, in Word format, of no more than 10,000 words by 1 May 2014. All papers will be pre-circulated on a password-protected website, and read by all participants. 
A modest travel and accommodations budget will be provided for all presenters.

Purpose

 

Human history fluctuates unceasingly between two opposite poles: violence and disorder on one side, and demands for settlement and peace on the other: that is a quest for rules, establishing uniformity and predictability for social behaviors. Between the two poles, a lawless society (anomia) and an order established by a legal system, there is embedded a combat between a stubborn defense of antiquated privileges and new claims of freedom. This struggle occurred again and again in European society from the time of Irnerius at the beginning of the twelfth century in different contexts and with different problems that jurists were asked to resolve. When confronted with these issues, from time to time the jurists wisely imposed limits on human behavior with the imposition of norms from positive law or from higher norms such as natural law. They imposed the ‘dogmata iuris’ to regulate the spontaneous but disordered emerging of vigorous new energies that were then adopted for common good of society.

 

 

 

 

BOOK: Married Women and the Law in Premodern Northwest Europe (ed. by C. Beattie and M. Stevens)

Cordelia Beattie and Matthew Frank Stevens (ed. by), Married Women and the Law in Premodern Northwest Europe, Boydell & Brewer, 2013. 

Abstract from the editor:

"There has been a tendency in scholarship on premodern women and the law to see married women as hidden from view, obscured by their husbands in legal records. This volume provides a corrective view, arguing that the extent to which the legal principle of coverture applied has been over-emphasized. In particular, it points up differences between the English common law position, which gave husbands guardianship over their wives and their wives' property, and the position elsewhere in northwest Europe, where wives' property became part of a community of property. Detailed studies of legal material from medieval and early modern England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Ghent, Sweden, Norway and Germany enable a better sense of how, when, and where the legal principle of coverture was applied and what effect this had on the lives of married women. Key threads running through the book are married women's rights regarding the possession of moveable and immovable property, marital property at the dissolution of marriage, married women's capacity to act as agents of their husbands and households in transacting business, and married women's interactions with the courts".

Cordelia Beattie is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh; Matthew Frank Stevens is Lecturer in Medieval History at Swansea University

CALL FOR PAPERS: FRAMING PREMODERN DESIRES. Between Sexuality, Sin and Crime (Turku, 4-5 April 2014)

What: International Colloquium FRAMING PREMODERN DESIRES. Between Sexuality, Sin and Crime
Where: Turku Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Finland 
When: 4-5 April 2014

Deadline: 30 June 2013

Sexuality is inevitably closely linked with wellbeing, individual identity and the very beginning of life. In premodern cultures sexual desires were perceived, described and encountered in a variety of ways. The praise concerning procreation, as well as sexual acts within the frames of marital institutions and between the ones in love was very much present in the surviving sources. At the same time, sexual desires belonged to the most regulated areas of human behavior bridled by religious and legal authorities. 

Recently, the scholarly field of the history of sexuality has laid a special emphasis on the multiple varieties in understanding past sexual desires in a particular time and place. We will focus on exploring the localities and temporalities of sexuality, the visibility and invisibility of sexual desires, as well as the intersections of sexuality and moral offences in late medieval and early modern societies (13th–18th centuries). 

The colloquium seeks to deepen our understanding of the varieties of sexuality and sexual practices by bringing together experts in the disciplines of cultural, legal and medical history, as well as literature, languages, art, archaeology, and religion. We especially welcome multidisciplinary research approaches and studies emphasizing cross- and transcultural perspectives, as well as non-western histories of sexualities and moralities.

Confirmed Speakers:

 - Faramerz Dabhoiwala (Oxford, UK)

- Jonas Liliequist (Umeå, Sweden)

- Garthine Walker (Cardiff UK)

- Dror Zeevi (Ben-Gurion University of Negev, Israel)

Call for Papers

The colloquium is open for scholars in all stages of academic life. Early career researchers are especially encouraged to send proposals. Papers may discuss but do not have to restrict themselves to the following themes:

 - sexual practices, customs and manners

- sexual desire as sin or crime

- secular and religious policies towards immorality

- medical attitudes towards sexuality and health

- sexuality and gender in popular culture

- the materiality of sexuality and bodiliness

We look forward to receiving individual abstracts (max. 300 words) or suggestions for sessions of 3–4 papers by 30 June 2013. Proposals should be sent to

desires@utu.fi

Proposals for papers of 20 minutes will be evaluated by the organizing committee and the approval will follow in August.

The conference language is English. Selected papers and lectures will be published after the conference. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered by the participants. A small colloquium fee will cover lunches and refreshments.

When: Sunday, April 7, 2013, 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m

"This one day conference will explore ways in which region affected the “packaging” of legal traditions within disparate cultures that flourished in geographic contiguity between the sixth and the twelfth centuries. Students of late Roman, Sassanian, Byzantine, Jewish, Islamic and Christian canon law will consider how their respective traditions of law were shaped by such extra-legal phenomena as patronage networks, institutions, circumstances of material production, compositional choices, modes of disseminating law and jurisprudential theories. By facilitating awareness of the regionalism of certain formative, extra-legal factors, this cross-cultural collaboration should stimulate new avenues of historical research.

Graduate students from outside the Philadelphia area may be eligible for a modest transportation stipend. 

Those interested should contact Chrissy Walsh at chwalsh@sas.upenn.edu for further information".
