Dear All,
Let me invite you to join a new online course at Collegium Volatile:
Love in Medieval Western Literature
Designed at taught by Sergi Sancho Fibla
Denis de Rougemont once said it, and George Duby repeated it: “Europe
discovered Love in the 13th century”. Such a statement might be daring to
anyone not familiar with medieval literature, but here you will be able to
check that it isn’t completely false. But what about Catullus or Ovid? What
about Platon and Sappho? And besides, do you believe, like Rougemont, that
“happy love has no history in Western Literature”? Do you think that the
myth of Love in Europe is that of an unfulfilled and adulterous Passion? Do
we only have stories of fatal Love? Can we find the seed of the current
love stories in the so-called “birth of Love” of the 11th century?
In our course we will not only study medieval texts in historical and
philosophical context, but also compare them to other works of literature,
cinema, essays, music, etc.
Read more at: http://collegiumvolatile.com/?page_id=235
Students are expected to read all the required texts and presentations
(Powerpoint with voice comments) and take active part in all discussions on
chat and forum at least twice a week (the schedule for these virtual
meetings will be set by everyone once the course will be started). Every
week a Powerpoint presentation will give instructions for the assignments
as well as introduce all the required and optional texts for the week.
The assignments will consist of writing a classical report of at least, 600
words related to the topic dealt during the week.
Workload: max. 3-4 hours per week.
Sergi Sancho Fibla, researcher of the Department of Humanities in
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) with a predoctoral fellowship from La
Generalitat de Catalunya since 2011. He studied Humanities and graduated as
MA on “Comparative Studies of Literature, Art and Thought” in UPF.
Currently, Sergi is working on his doctoral thesis about the relationship
between image, text, memory and meditation in medieval works, especially in
Marguerite of Oingt’s works. He is a member of the Investigation Group
“Bibliotheca Mystica et Philosophia Alois Maria Haas”, and coordinator of
“Forma: Journal of Humanities”. Contact:: sergi.sancho(at)upf.edu

Dear all,
On behalf of The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO),
I'm delighted to announce the creation of our first Special Interest
Group: Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (GO::DH) and to invite your
participation.
GO::DH is a Community of Interest whose purpose is to address barriers
that hinder communication and collaboration among researchers and
students of the Digital Arts, Humanities, and Cultural Heritage sectors
across and between High, Mid, and Low Income Economies.
The core activities of GO::DH are Discovery, Community-Building,
Research, and Advocacy. Its goal is to leverage the complementary
strengths, interests, abilities, and experiences of participants through
special projects and events, profile and publicity activity, and by
encouraging collaboration among individuals, projects, and institutions.
It is founded on the principle that work is being done in many countries
and regions and that we all have much to learn from each other.
Participation in GO::DH is open to all who share its aims. If you are
interested in participating in this initiative, you can visit the GO::DH
website http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/, join the GO::DH mailing list
(http://listserv.uleth.ca/mailman/listinfo/globaloutlookdh-l), or follow
it on Facebook or Twitter (@globaloutlookdh).
Best,
Neil
