http://www.sun.ceu.hu/3Courses/descriptions/brief_descriptions.php#Medieval
The fall of the Roman Empire and the emergence of medieval power centres was one of the most debated historical issues in the last century. Historical, archaeological, and religious studies were dedicated to this problem, and military, economic, and climatic explanations were put forward to highlight and explain the relatively fast decline of the Western Roman Empire and the emergence of new power centres (Byzantine, Carolingian). The survival of the late antique economic system into the early medieval period is one of the most powerful historical concepts for the explanation of the transitional period, and it has been the most debated historical question of the period since the beginning of the twentieth century. Recently, major monographs have reinterpreted the whole period and the authors have proposed fundamentally new concepts for the explanation of this period. They represent an extremely wide range of modern ideas of reinterpretation and many complex issues concerning the concept of Roman continuity, regional development patterns in early medieval Europe, and a very general concept of “clashes” of cultures. Based on these recent studies and the discussions and debates generated by them, the summer course will focus on these questions in an interdisciplinary approach for scholars.

The course will focus on four major issues, starting from the local-regional context of one of the most important power centres of the period (Ravenna and Rome). Until very recently the main emphasis of research was connected to the artistic monuments of Ravenna (mosaics), but recent studies have started to focus on economic and topographic issues and on their impact on the later Medieval period. Second, the local regional aspect will be incorporated into an Italian panorama of the period, with the main questions centering on the interactions of different power zones and cultural centres. In this part, the interaction of Late Antique (Roman) heritage, its Byzantine transformation, and the emergence of the new power centre will also be discussed in the context of “Barbarian” invasions and the arrival of new ethnic groups (Goths, Lombards, etc.) The third main block of lectures and discussions will focus on the general interpretation of the period from a European-wide perspective, and the new research data derived from the archaeological project in Ravenna will be compared with the general historical debates mentioned in the introduction. Finally, discussion will turn to the afterlife of these places and sites, covering the extent to which this Late Antique archaeological and architectural heritage was reinterpreted, transformed, and re-utilised in the Late Medieval period.

The course is designed for postgraduate students and for scholars with previous knowledge gained in at least one aspect of the course (the Roman period, the early Middle Ages, continuity problems, etc.) The course themes and its program structure have been designed for specialists in ancient history, Late Classical and Early Medieval history, archaeology, art history, and/or church history. Academics in the field of religious studies, Byzantine studies, Italian studies, and European studies are also among the expected applicants for the course. As one important aspect of the course is the interpretation of cultural heritage monuments, specialists in this field working in heritage institutions are also potential participants in the course.

The years of the seventeenth century has traditionally been regarded as one of the most important landmarks of European history. The spanish historiography tell us that these years were

dominated by absence of science and delayed in the running of the European Thought, self-enclosed. For a variety of reasons, it history has been written, for the most part, according to

value that the historians have given to it. Sometimes, they paid attention to the Art in order to look at the Baroque. Others times, political reasons were a heavy element that they got to explain

the rest of these times.

Nowadays, a variety of positions, and a lot of changing perspectives are making that a new narrative discourse bring to light, emerging strongly. May be that in the future, historians of the

History will say that today a continous confluence of disciplines applied to the seventeenth century, with minds working together, thinking like a team, produced a lot of ideas which gave a

definitive appearance to this century.

In this International Conference, recognized authorities of several areas of historical knowledge will be together talking about some aspects of this period. Making good use of this circumstance,

and starting from Juan Vincencio of Lastanosa, the Baroque will be analized again.

This international conference aims to move the historiography of the seventeenth century and to encourage a more balanced assessment of Spain?s role in the history of early modern Europe.

More than that, the conference aims to test and challenge current interpretations of the seventeenth century Spain. Bearing in mind the topics of the Event and the high-qualified speakers,

we are sure that our objectives will become reality.

The Conference is the major international scholarly conference dedicated to advancing knowledge of the history of cartography, of maps and mapmaking, broadly defined. The conference promotes global cooperation and collaboration among scholars (from any academic discipline), curators, collectors, dealers and institutions through illustrated talks, poster presentations, exhibitions, and a social programme. Educational and cultural institutions have supported each conference.

The first aim of the conference is to foster discussion on the history of cartography in general, not necessarily the history of single maps. The presentations should be focused on the history of cartography and only deal with historical geography or the history of discoveries on the margins. Contributions on a topic from specialists in disciplines such as geodesy, tourism studies, linguistics, history of science, art history, etc., are very welcome.

The conference venue will be the Conference Centre of the recently renovated UniS-Building of the University in Berne, which is well equipped with modern presentation facilities. The dates are 8-13 July 2007 and the conference themes will be:
Mapping Relief
Maps and Tourism
Language and Maps
Time as the Cartographic Fourth Dimension
Any other aspect of the history of cartography

A conference that recasts Jacobs’ role as a major contributor to American Literature and Black Activism
October 6 & 7, 2006
Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts
Pace University, New York, NY

www.pace.edu/dyson/HarrietJacobsConf

Drawing eminent historians and literary scholars from across the country, “The Legacies of Slavery and Sisterhood: The Life and Work of Harriet Jacobs” will include six panel discussions and a roundtable on the current implications of her writing and life. Actress Ruby Dee will give a reading from Jacobs’ harrowing account of her escape from slavery in 1842 Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl: Written by Herself, first published pseudonymously in 1861.

Jacobs lived as a slave, a fugitive targeted for kidnapping, a writer, a reformer, a lecturer and an activist. She worked closely with abolitionists and early feminists, provided emergency relief, founded a free school for blacks in Alexandria, Virginia, and raised funds for the black community of Savannah.

The symposium is inspired by the extraordinary work of Pace Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, Jean Fagan Yellin. Professor Yellin’s work solved the mystery of who actually wrote the book that for more than 125 years was thought to have been written by a white author.
To attend this remarkable conference, held at Pace University’s downtown New York City campus, registration is required. Please visit the Web site www.pace.edu/dyson/HarrietJacobsConf for more information.

Among Harriet Jacobs conference presenters are:
Jean Fagan Yellin
Nina Baym
Thadious Davis
Frances Smith Foster
Leslie Harris
Nell Painter
David Reynolds
Arnold Rampersad
David Blight
Lewis Perry
