SUMMARY:The Future of Medieval France - Concert
DESCRIPTION:The sounds of the medieval past are conjured in Paris-based Ensemble Dialogos’s presentation of the legend of Barlaam and Josaphat\, a concert to be held in conjunction with the conference on Saturday\, February 25\, from 3-4:15 pm at the Getty Center. Wildly popular in medieval Europe\, the tale of Prince Josaphat and his hermit-teacher Barlaam originated in 3rd-4th century India and tells a surreal\, Christianized version of the life of Buddha. In this concert\, Ensemble Dialogo explores the legend through several musical repertoires of the Middle Ages\, reflecting the beloved story’s translation into Greek\, Latin\, Old-Russian\, Old-Croatian\, Old-French\, medieval Occitan\, and Italian manuscripts. \nProgram includes supertitles. More information and reservations on the Getty Center’s website — concert seats must be reserved separately from conference registration — advance tickets required. \nEnsemble Dialogos\nFounded in 1997\, the ensemble brings together singers and instrumentalists from different backgrounds and countries to revive European oral and written traditions\, from the Middle Ages to the present day. \nConcert-related links:\nTrailer 1:  https://youtu.be/uH-QYO5Xskk (introduction)\nTrailer 2:  https://youtu.be/rRManNdwYCM (story)\nSong 1: https://youtu.be/uhGzxJaHxSc (Era in qual tempo)\nSong 2: https://youtu.be/zBffKHNM0IQ (Poyde Baarlam)

SUMMARY:The Future of Medieval France - Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Complete details including registration\, schedule\, speakers\, and abstracts are on the conference webpages.\nAn international conference on the past\, present\, and future of medieval studies in Europe organized by Professor Meredith Cohen (Art History\, UCLA) and Professor Zrinka Stahuljak (CMRS-CEGS Director). Bringing together scholars of medieval France from the Anglophone and Francophone worlds\, the conference will honor the legacy of John W. Baldwin who bridged the two and look into the future of medieval France in the global context. What does it mean to study medieval France today\, when academic research and funding trends increasingly seem to decenter France? While this conference focuses on France\, the reflection is relevant for all of Europe. Why and how\, then\, should we study medieval France and Europe? How can we reform or decolonize the medieval European fields from within while remaining true to the time period\, its geographies\, mentalities\, and connectivities? \nThe conference will be held on the UCLA Campus \, third floor Royce Hall Humanities conference rooms on February 23-24. \n“Barlaam and Josaphat\,” a concert in conjunction with the conference by the Dialogos Ensemble\, led by Katarina Livljanić\, will be held at the Getty Center on February 25 from 3-4:15 pm. \nSponsored by UCLA CMRS-CEGS\n\nCo-sponsored by UCLA ELTS\, UCLA Comparative Literature\, and the UCLA Wellman Chair in Medieval History. \n\n\n \n\nImage credit: The Royal Couple with Astrologists\, 1469\nFollower of Hans Schilling (German\, active 1459 – 1467)\, illuminator and from the Workshop of Diebold Lauber (German\, active 1427 – 1467)\, illuminator\nInk\, colored washes\, and tempera colors\, Leaf: 28.6 × 20.3 cm (11 1/4 × 8 in.)\nThe J.

SUMMARY:The Black Saints of the Carmelite Order: Ancient Ethiopia in the Early Modern European Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Erin Kathleen Rowe (Vice Dean for Undergraduate Education\, Professor of History\, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences\, Johns Hopkins University) will give a talk about African and Black saints in early modern Iberia. \nBeginning in the seventeenth-century\, members of the Carmelite order adopted two ancient Ethiopian saints\, Efigenia and Elesban. While their interest in ancient saints was tied to the order’s longstanding efforts to prove the antiquity of their order dating back to the Prophet Elijah\, the inclusion of Ancient Ethiopia in these efforts tell a more complex story about how early modern Spaniards thought with and about Ancient Ethiopia. The inclusion of Ethiopia in early modern ideas about the Biblical Near East clashed with the treatment of enslaved people from West and Central Africa being brought to the peninsula in vast numbers\, while devotion to Ethiopian saints by White and Black Spaniards transformed the spiritual and historical landscape. \nRegister to attend on Zoom at https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYqcOqrpjMpE9Q01fN6D0UQmwV1S7AmCC2a \nCo-sponsored by Department of History\, CMRS-CEGS\, The Atlantic History Colloquium\, Peter H. Reill Chair in European Studies\, and The Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies.

SUMMARY:From Romance to Romance: Translating among Medieval and Early Modern Romance Vernacular Texts (13th-18th c.) - Day 1
DESCRIPTION:“From Romance to Romance: Translating among Medieval and Early Modern Romance Vernacular Texts (13th-18th c.)\,” is a two-day conference focusing on the many cross-influences among Romance literatures and cultures from the Middle Ages through more recent times\, with special attention to the topic of translation. More than 25 international scholars will examine different aspects of the circulation of vernacular works via translations from one Romance language to another\, from the 13th to the 18th century\, in Europe and beyond.

SUMMARY:Physiognomy at the Crossroad of Magic\, Science and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:A symposium organized by Professor Massimo Ciavolella (ELTS and Comparative Literature\, UCLA)\, Professor Emerita Valeria Finucci (Romance Studies\, Duke University) and doctoral candidate Megan Tomlinson (ELTS\, UCLA). \nThe symposium will examine how the study of a person’s facial features or expressions as indicatives of character or ethnicity\, has evolved from the crossroad of magic\, religion\, and primitive medicine to present day cultural preoccupation with wellness and beauty. In this context\, the discoveries of regional (cranio-facial) neurophysiology and psychology and the practice of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery have a centuries old relationship with physiognomy. As the study of one’s outward appearance evolved from its classical roots and humanistic self-representations through 18th and 19th century adaptations in fiction and travelogues\, it gradually became a scientific discipline. Along the way\, however\, physiognomy came to be associated with the pseudo-sciences of phrenology and craniology and used to promote eugenic policies. Thus\, it became tainted with racial bigotry and biological determinism\, and trapped within questions of delinquency\, monstrosity and posthumanism. In short\, throughout its history\, physiognomy has played both positive and negative roles in the evolution of significant aspects of the socio-cultural order of the western world that merit contemporary update and in-depth study. \nThe presentations of the symposium will follow a chronological and intertwining sequence to encompass physiognomic expressions in art\, literature\, spirituality\, science\, philosophy\, and cultural studies. \nThis event is dedicated to the memory of Rinaldo Canalis\, Emeritus Professor of Otolaryngology in the UCLA Department of Head and Neck Surgery. \nCo-sponsored by CMRS-CEGS. \n9 am – 5 pm on January 20-21\, 2023 in Royce Hall 314. \nRegister to attend.

SUMMARY:Unexceptional Blackness and Blind Matter
DESCRIPTION:Kanner Forum Featuring Matthew Vernon \nJoin UCLA English for “Unexceptional Blackness and Blind Matter\,” a talk by Matthew Vernon\, Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of California\, Davis. Professor Vernon will discuss Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s adaptation of Everyman as it relates to invisibilization of race. Professor Vernon will focus on the problems and possibilities this play raises in relation to politics and race through the Middle Ages. \nThe talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by UCLA English Professor Matthew Fisher. This event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s Department of Comparative Literature and CMRS Center for Early Global Studies. \nMatthew Vernon is an Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of California\, Davis. His first book\, The Black Middle Ages\, explores the understudied relationship between medievalism and Blackness in nineteenth and twentieth-century literature. He has also written articles on a set of his interests around issues of race and genre. This has led to articles on the post-truth phenomenon in nineteenth-century novels\, Black speculative fiction\, and comic books about displacement and vulnerability. He is currently working on an article on the adaptation of the medieval play\, Everyman. \nKaplan Hall 193 and on Zoom \nRSVP \nKanner Forum: Matthew Vernon \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Neoclassic or New Classics? Challenges\, Debates\, Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Organized and moderated by Professor Giulia Sissa (Departments of Political Science\, Comparative Literature and Classics\, UCLA). \n“Decolonizing Classics” is a novel challenge for scholars in the Humanities and\, even more pointedly\, for those who study the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. The stake is not merely relevance\, usefulness or epistemic legitimacy\, but also political credentials. The “Classics” in education and in academia are being asked to give account of their role in shaping not just cultures\, but cultural identities; not just representations\, but self-representations. Multiple responses are possible\, from indifference to indignation\, from defensiveness to solidarity\, from haughty erudition to chirpy vulgarization. But this challenge is thought-provoking rather than threatening. These historical circumstances should prompt an experimental\, critical\, creative meditation on our practices of learning and teaching. What can be done\, what should be done and how can we act in our double life\, as experts of those early global worlds and as citizens of this present\, planetary world? \nAt the end of a long seminar on the resources of “comparative thinking”\, in the UCLA Program in Experimental Critical Theory\, this round table will start a discussion on the future of Greece and Rome in our own cultural horizon. We will begin to showcase old and new heuristic approaches\, which can help us reorient our research and refresh our language in a non-ethnocentric\, non-linear\, non-idealizing – non neoclassical – perspective. \nSCHEDULE (Pacific Time) \n9:00 am – Giulia Sissa\, UCLA\n9:15 – Zrinka Stahuljak\, UCLA\n9:30 – Manuele Gragnolati\, Sorbonne Université\n9:45 – Ute Heidmann\, Université de Lausanne\n10:00 – Discussion\n10:15 – Marco Formisano\, Ghent University\n10:30 – Phiroze Vasunia\, University College London\n11:00 – Cléo Carastro\, EHESS\, Paris\n11:15 – Renaud Gagné\, University of Cambridge\n11:30 – Tristan Bradshaw\, University of Wollongong and Ben Brown\, University of Sydney\n11:45 – Discussion\n12:30 pm – Conclusion \nFollow this link to register to attend online with Zoom.

SUMMARY:CMRS-CEGS Research Seminar: Iranian 250
DESCRIPTION:Shahzad Bashir (Brown University)\n“The Market in Poetry in the Persian World” \nThe discussion will focus on Professor Bashir’s book The Market in Poetry in the Persian World (Cambridge UP\, 2021)\, which treats poetic utterances as objects of material value sought by those with power and resources. The book provides a sense for the texture of the Persian world by discussing what made poetry precious and a carrier of social relations\, political and religious authority\, economic exchange\, and the articulation of gender. At the broadest level\, this work substantiates the interdependency between cultural and material reproduction of society. \nShahzad Bashir is Aga Khan Professor of Islamic Humanities and Professor of History and Religious Studies at Brown University in Providence\, Rhode Island. He has published extensively on various topics\, including\, most recently\, the digital book A New Vision for Islamic Pasts and Futures (MIT Press\, 2022). He is an Associate Editor of the journal History and Theory\, edits the book series Islamic Humanities (University of California Press)\, and co-edits the book series Islamicate Intellectual History (Brill). \nIranian 250\, “Persian Literature in English Translation: Global and Interdisciplinary Perspectives\,”  taught by Associate Professor Domenico Ingenito (NELC)\, offers a survey of medieval and early modern Persian literature in English translation. The seminar fosters interdisciplinary conversations among graduate students from a plurality of departments and programs\, including Islamic Studies\, Gender Studies\, History\, Art History\, Global Medieval and Renaissance Studies\, English\, and Comparative Literature. All sessions will be held in English\, and students with no prior knowledge of Persian are welcome to enroll.
