SUMMARY:Works-in-Progress
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Jiakai Zhang \nThe presentation will focus on the Xiqin Quyi 西琴曲意(Eight Songs for Western Keyboard) composed by Matteo Ricci 利瑪竇 (1552-1610) in classical Chinese. Ricci was a Jesuit missionary who came to the Ming court and dedicated this collection of songs to the Wanli Emperor (萬曆皇帝) to be sung along with a keyboard instrument. I will focus on the allusions and translations of lines of Horace’s poems in this work and examine how they are loaded with the teachings of “spiritual exercises” from the Jesuit order\, and at the same time\, invoke passages and doctrines in classical Chinese literature. I will argue that the Horatian allusions create a unique space to manifest the debates over what one should practice and cultivate in oneself for a good life between Christianity and the schools of Chinese thought. \nRegister to attend via Zoom \nJiakai Zhang is a third-year PhD student at the Department of Classics. He works on ancient Greek literature and philosophy (especially Plato) and the reception of Greco-Roman literature in early modern China in debates and conversations with Neo-Confucianism and Christianity.

SUMMARY:Works in Progress with Jodie Miller
DESCRIPTION:Renart li rous: The Physiognomy of a Traitor \nThe Roman de Renart\, an Old French literary cycle composed between the late-twelfth and mid-thirteenth centuries\, tells the tale of the fox\, Renart\, who wreaks havoc on his society through renardie\, or foxish and deceitful misbehavior. The first branch\, or section\, of the cycle recounts how Renart is brought to trial and accused of treason and a tendency towards excessive behavior. As proof of his guilt\, the court consistently refers to his red fur. This talk interrogates the connection between renardie and the medieval reception of the rous\, the red-headed individual\, as a figure connected to treachery and immorality. \nRegister to attend via ZOOM \n \nJodie Miller is a Ph.D. Candidate in the French and Francophone Studies section\, specializing in medieval French literature. She is interested in the intersections between literature and society\, specifically in understanding social and intellectual developments by looking to literature. Her research focuses on French literature within the European context\, as well as its broader relationship to other global regions during the medieval period.
