Join Joshua O’Driscoll, Assistant Curator of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts, for a virtual tour of the exhibition Imperial Splendor: The Art of the Book in the Holy Roman Empire, ca. 800–1500, which offers a sweeping overview of manuscript production in the Holy Roman Empire. As the first major presentation of this subject in the English-speaking world, Imperial Splendor introduces visitors to fundamental aspects of this history, including how artists developed a visual rhetoric of power, the role of the aristocratic elite in the production and patronage of manuscripts, and the impact of Albrecht Dürer and humanism on the arts of the book.

Please note that the program will take place online. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to participate using Zoom. Participants are advised to download the app in advance for the best user experience.

Curating Art of the Global Middle Ages, DVMA Fall Meeting, September 25, 2021, 1-4 PM

By DVMA

On September 25, 2021

In Announcements, Meetings

Delaware Valley Medieval Association (DVMA) virtual meeting.

The event will feature curator-scholars and professor-curators who have engaged with the question of how to exhibit works of art in ways that foreground the intellectual and ethical dimensions of a global perspective on the middle ages.

The meeting will be run as a Zoom webinar, and registration is open now. The speakers are prerecording short talks discussing their recent and current curatorial work. Some of the talks are available already, and the rest should be ready for viewing by the end of August. The meeting will entail a roundtable discussion (1-3pm) followed by a discussion about curatorial careers in medieval art (3-4pm). Information about all this, links to register, etc. can be found on the event website here: https://curatingartoftheglobalmiddleages.blogs.brynmawr.edu/

While the Zoom Webinar format will not accommodate questions from the floor, the website allows for submitting questions in advance via the event website. The prerecorded talks can be incorporated into courses this fall, with an assignment culminating in a class devising one or more questions to submit.

Virtual Symposium: “Transformed Bodies in Medieval Culture,” March 13, 2021

By DVMA

On November 15, 2020

In Announcements

Venue: Vilanova University (remote event)

In 2002, Alan Deyermond described his relationship with Harriet Goldberg as one of admiration “for the quality of her scholarship and her range of interests.” These interests focused on popular sayings and traditions, dreams, sexual humor, and riddles. Goldberg also noted how images of societal inversion or role reversal of could be conformed to express anxieties over gender and social identity. Inspired by Harriet Goldberg’s work on Iberian traditions, this conference seeks to examine different forms of bodily transformation, to map out the limits of gender, and to think of the ways in which current discussions on gender and identity intertwine with our understanding of the past.

The keynote address will be given by Michelle Hamilton (University of Minnesota), author of Beyond Faith: Belief, Morality and Memory in a Fifteenth-Century Judeo-Iberian Manuscript. (Brill, 2014)

This event is sponsored by The Delaware Medieval Association, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Delaware and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Temple University.
