Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Digital Medievalists The following call for submissions might be of interest to you. On behalf of the organizers, Franz Call for Submissions International Symposium “Textual Heritage in the 21st Century World. Exploring the Potential of a New Analytic Category” Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Hosted on Zoom, March 22-24, 2021 Website: https://www.unive.it/textualheritage Submission Deadline: December 21, 2020 Keynote Speakers Wiebke Denecke (MIT) David C. Harvey (Aarhus University) We cordially invite proposals for the International symposium “Textual Heritage in the 21st Century World”, to be hosted virtually by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (on Zoom). Main topics * Processes of canonization and heritagization of texts * Hegemonic mechanisms of world literature and authorized heritage discourses * The “UNESCO Memory of the World” and the problem of authenticity * Heritage and materiality * Non-European systems of musical notation * Musical reconstructions * The ownership, authorship, and copyright of textual products * Any other aspect related to written texts and their heritagization Aim Heritage is spreading as a contagious academic category. Food heritage, heritage railways, smell heritage... the popularity of the word suggests that a new paradigm is quickly taking root across the Humanities and Social Sciences. At the same time, surprisingly, manuscripts, books, and other textual products have been notably absent from the interdisciplinary debate over intangible cultural heritage (ICH), despite their substantial cultural capital. This international symposium aims to explore the meanings and potentialities of textual heritage as a new analytic category through which we can challenge the split between tangible and intangible heritage. Given the increasingly connected and digitalized nature of research in the 21st century, we believe this debate is both timely and necessary. With this symposium, we wish to strengthen a dialogue between the Humanities and the Social Sciences through the interdisciplinary area of “heritage studies”. Bringing together both present-oriented approaches to texts and societies and disciplines that explore history and memory, our aim is to emphasize the role of modern and premodern texts in shaping cultural identities. We expand current notions of textuality, stretching the limits of what a text can be and do. Therefore, we adopt a broad approach to texts and their materiality, welcoming contributions that deal with all kinds of documents resulting from a technology of inscription. Such an inclusive conception of “text” encompasses manuscripts, epigraphs, musical notations, architectural plans and maps, both in analog and digital formats. We welcome theoretical contributions and case studies that engage with the concept of textual heritage, exploring how “texts” are produced, used and re-created in order to make sense of the relation between past and present. Guidelines for Submission We invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations, followed by 15 minutes of general discussion. • Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, excluding references but including tables and charts. • All abstracts should be submitted in English, which will also be the language of the conference. • Please include a short biography of approximately 250 words. Please submit your abstract and biography in a single PDF file by sending an email to edoardo.gerlini(a)unive.it<mailto:edoardo.gerlini@unive.it> before December 21, 2020. We plan to collect some of the papers presented at our symposium, substantially revised, and publish them as an edited volume. For any questions or inquiries, please send an email to a.giolai(a)hum.leidenuniv.nl<mailto:a.giolai@hum.leidenuniv.nl> or to edoardo.gerlini(a)unive.it<mailto:edoardo.gerlini@unive.it> .

Beowulf live-streamed on YouTube November 14 and 15

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Colleagues, This weekend, the poem Beowulf will be performed by a troupe of 50 story-tellers from all over the U.S. and Canada on YouTube. I am the academic adviser for the performance. Details follow below. Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested. I hope you'll join us, and that you'll find the performance useful and entertaining. And please accept my apologies for cross posting. Yours, Wendy BEOWULF THE ETHEREAL EVENT BRINGS BEOWULF TO ZOOM On November 14 and 15, Beowulf the Ethereal Event will present all of the poem Beowulf, performed live on Zoom. The entire epic will be split into two performances, live-streamed to the SCA East Kingdom’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SCAEastKingdomEthereal • Part 1: Saturday, November 14, starting at 7:30 pm Eastern time. • Part 2: Sunday, November 15, at 2:00 pm Eastern time. The performances will be posted to YouTube permanently at a later date. Beowulf the Ethereal Event will feature the talents of 50 performers from all over the United States and Canada. The performance is being produced by the artistic team who staged live story-telling performances of Beowulf in 2011 and 2012 and of Njal’s Saga in 2017. The poem tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who rescues the Danes by killing the monstrous Grendel. He goes on to kill Grendel’s mother, become king, and then—in his old age—must face a dragon. Throughout, he learns lessons about kingship, feud, and the dangers inherent in fighting monsters. The performance will be presented with the natural, organic backgrounds of our homes—bookshelves, workshops, home offices, kitchens, and living rooms. We will tell the story without stage magic, but instead will use the available medium to bring Beowulf into the homes of the audience. The performance text includes translations by Howell Chickering, R.M. Liuzza, Craig Williamson, A.S. Kline, Francis Grummere, M. Wendy Hennequin, Michael Dixon, and Emily Holbert. We are grateful for the permission to use their works. The artistic team gratefully acknowledges the support of the East Kingdom Web Ministry, and the East Kingdom Ministry of Arts and Sciences. >From Director Michael Dixon: “Beowulf is still relevant today. Leadership matters, well-earned loyalty is essential, and pride is a dangerous path," Toki said, adding that Nietzche's advice was true for Beowulf, and is true today, "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster."
