Nothing Was Funny in the Late Middle Ages: The „Tale of Ryght Nought“ and British Library, MS Egerton 1995

Mai 31, 2017, 9:15 p.m., Cooper, L. H., Allgemein.

London, British Library, MS Egerton 1995 is a well-known miscellany of the late Middle Ages, filled like others of its kind with practical and didactic texts meant to assist its readers in their attempts at social, economic, and spiritual self-improvement. But it also contains a heretofore ignored lyric, the paradoxical "Tale of Ryght Nought." This essay reads the poem as a playful but important response to the manuscript in which it is found and the culture that produced it. The essay touches upon issues ranging from the drive for material gain to the fear of social demotion, and from the doctrine of creation ex nihilo to the threat of Doomsday. But it also attends for the first time to many of the early modern marginalia in the manuscript, marks that reveal how several later readers responded to and ultimately transformed the themes of material and social value that Egerton 1995 so carefully curates.

Handling Knowledge: Holy Bodies in the Middle English Mystery Plays

Mai 31, 2017, 9:15 p.m., Cushman, H., Allgemein.

The representations of the midwife Salome and the Apostle Thomas in the N-Town and Chester plays complicate the relationship between two modes of knowledge: "clergie" or male clerical learning, on the one hand, and knowledge derived from sensory experience on the other. The plays expose clerical learning's dependence on and proximity to lay experiential knowledge. In doing so, they resist the dichotomies that structure other accounts of these figures and demonstrate how theological knowledge does not rest exclusively in any one set of hands. Knowledge, instead, is made manifest at the point of contact between clerical learning and physical experience. The drama empowers its nonclerical audience to test and "assay" in the form of dramatic "experiments" the theological knowledge that structures their religious lives, and thus invigorates the audience's investment in that knowledge.

Archiving Ordinary Experience: Small-Format Cartography of the English Renaissance

Mai 31, 2017, 9:15 p.m., Lecky, K., Allgemein.

This essay shows that small-format cartography of the English Renaissance fostered a geographical imagination that placed nonelites at the heart of the nation's collective identity. Cheap maps, guides, and atlases — a staple of the popular print market — were public forms of cultural capital that charted England as the domain of the commonwealth rather than the Crown. This archive, which has been neglected in favor of beautifully illustrated, large-format cartography, reveals very different conceptions of how space, place, and nationhood intersected. At the dawn of the realm's transition into a modern nation-state, these cheap prints recalibrated the English topography to accommodate an expansive body politic. The essay ends with an exploration of how old and new archival research methods may together be deployed to continue excavating the material evidence of England's ordinary Renaissance.

Bodies Hardened for War: Knighthood in Fifteenth-Century England

Mai 31, 2017, 9:15 p.m., Bruso, S., Allgemein.

This essay examines representations of knightly physicality in two fifteenth-century English texts: the Middle English Secreta Secretorum and Knyghthode and Bataile. These neglected texts are examples of mirrors for princes and Vegetian military manuals, respectively, and both of these genres were standard reading for fifteenth-century English readers ranging from gentry to royal families. Even if they were not knights, many in this audience saw themselves in knightly terms, making it useful to pair these texts to consider how knightly bodies were represented to such an audience. Long before large, muscled male bodies were popularized in 1980s and 1990s action cinema, these medieval texts foreground the necessity of building muscular bodies to knightly identity, while simultaneously describing them through a rhetoric of hardness that characterized their envisioned use as physical and psychological weapons.

Towards the Post-Secular City? London since the 1960s

Mai 31, 2017, 1:05 p.m., John Wolffe, Allgemein.

It is possible to interpret the available statistical evidence to argue that — when the presence of minority traditions is taken into account — the level of religious practice in London in the early twenty-first century was quite similar to that in the early twentieth century. London may be exceptional in some respects, but it is nevertheless indicative of wider patterns of religious change over the last half-century, which have hitherto received little academic attention. The London case reveals a dynamic picture of simultaneous decline and resurgence, with overall rapid growth in Pentecostalism, Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism while traditional Christian denominations have generally been contracting. However, the Christian picture is further variegated at the local level, with significant pockets of growth even in the historic churches, notably but not only in the Church of England Diocese of London. Moreover, the wider social engagements of many religious groups have given them an impact beyond their actual membership.
