Scholars are invited to propose papers for an important international conference on orality in early modern Europe, organised by the Medieval and Early Modern Research Group at Northumbria University. The aim of the conference is to explore the spoken word and its power in a broad range of various contexts: indoors and outside, from the pulpit, the stage or the lectern, in political discourse and as a method of instruction in a period when the spoken word was still capable of reaching a wider audience than written texts available only to the literate, the rich, and the powerful, something of which contemporaries were fully aware. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches ranging from literature and art history to musicology and the history of language, the conference will bring together scholars from an international field, working in different languages and cultures. The language of the conference will, however, be English. Themes of the conference: Street life (orality in any European urban context 1400-1700) Reading aloud (using the lectern for dissemination of written text in convents and monasteries, public proclamation of misdemeanour and laws, 1400-1700) Teaching and learning in University schools 1400-1700 Declamation and discourse in Parliament Incantation and magic Performance (theatre, court poetry, poetry competitions) Preaching (history of the preaching orders, biographies of preachers, Parley and discourse of war Women¿s speech.Proposals for papers, accompanied by abstracts of no more than 200 words in both the original language and in English, should reach the organizers by January 4 2010. For further information, contact Dr Alex Cowan (a.cowan@northumbria.ac.uk) and Dr. Lesley Twomey (lesley.twomey@northumbria.ac.uk).

Entre los temas propuestos destacan directrices que profundizan de manera innovadora en aspectos tradicionales del ámbito de estudio. Recordemos los tres principales: el acento en las relaciones biunívocas entre la literatura italiana y la española como contexto privilegiado dentro del cual van surgiendo nuevos géneros y contaminaciones que van más allá del horizonte del Siglo de Oro; el estudio de las traducciones y adaptaciones, profundizando tanto en la perspectiva lingüística y teórica, como en el contexto histórico y editorial; y, finalmente, la presentación de proyectos que documentan una atención más consciente por parte del mundo editorial italiano hacia la literatura española del Siglo de Oro y su proyección europea.

We seek papers for a session at the 2013 International Medieval Congress in Leeds, England (1-4 July), dedicated to the relationship between saintly intercession and mercantile life in medieval Europe.By the late medieval period, merchants formed an integral part of urban society; among their activities, they facilitated trade between city centers, participated in the governing of cities, and were patrons of churches and monasteries. At the same time, the wealth that they amassed and their sometimes morally dubious activities, such as money lending, often left merchants fearful of what the afterlife would bring. As a result, many merchants chose to appeal directly to individual saints for intercession. This session seeks to explore the religious lives of these elite members of urban society, specifically considering the saints to whom merchants appealed for their earthly protection and heavenly salvation as well as the manner in which they made these appeals. As an interdisciplinary discussion of the relationship between merchants and their saintly protectors across the medieval West, this session will invite papers examining evidence of particular relationships between merchants and saints. These might include examination of merchant’s wills, artistic patronage, parochial endowments, manuscript collections, and pilgrimage as well as the religious practices of merchant’s confraternities and guilds. The session will welcome papers from all geographic regions and all disciplines including, but not limited to, history, art history, literature, religious studies, and music.Please submit 100 word abstracts, by 10 September 2012, for 20 minute papers (via email, as Microsoft Word or PDF documents) to:Cynthia Turner CampAssistant Professor of English, University of Georgiactcamp@uga.edu
