Date Range
2023-05-15 09:00:00 2023-05-15 20:00:00 Joint Summer School on Literary Materiality in the Middle Ages, OSU & University of Zürich The Ohio State University & University of Zürich are proud to host a Joint Summer School this May! There will be workshops and lectures by Professors from OSU and University of Zürich on the topic of Literary Materiality in the Middle Ages: How did it really work? One recurring question that arises when one is confronted with premodern textual culture is “How did this really work?”, i.e. what were the material conditions in which these texts were produced, received, and transmitted? How did the audience have access to the texts: through reading, listening, or even watching a performance? The present Summer School addresses some of the major issues regarding reading and writing in a manuscript culture, both in Latin and in the vernacular. Furthermore, it deals with medieval material culture as reflected in texts. Clothing and armour are a good example of the problems with which scholars are confronted, since the vocabulary and the reality to which it refers have changed considerably over the centuries. Within the scope of the Summer School, introductory lectures will alternate with practical exercises. The evenings are reserved for the discussion of problems that the participants have encountered in their work. The event also offers the possibility for young scholars to meet with academics both from European and North American traditions.   Please RSVP using this Forms link.
