This was not limited to just the body but also to the mind, the soul, the community and the environment. As a complex subject that affected everybody, the quest for wellbeing was understood and experienced in a multitude of ways. This symposium aims to explore both the changing and continuing perceptions of wellbeing during the medieval and early modern period as well as the various strategies people employed to pursue it for themselves and for others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keynote:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Professor Guy Geltner (Monash University)<br \/>\n\u201cHealth and the Environment Beyond the Simplex of the Pre\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Burrell (Centre for Medieval and Studies, Monash University)<br \/>\nDr Merav Carmeli (Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation, Monash University)<br \/>\nNat Cutter (School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne)<br \/>\nDr Aydogan Kars (Centre for Religious Studies, Monash University)<br \/>\nRosa Martorana (Centre for Medieval and Studies, Monash University)<br \/>\nDr Melissa Raine (School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne)<br \/>\nDr Kathryn Smithies (School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne)<br \/>\nDr Richard Tait (Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Monash University)<br \/>\nGordon Whyte (Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">Centring Race in History: Antiquity to the Present (online conference)<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>23-25 November 2020<br \/>\nOrganised By:\u00a0International Centre on Racism, Edge Hill University, UK.<br \/>\nMONITOR Global Intelligence on Racism magazine, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, Italy (EUI).<br \/>\nDepartment of History &amp; Civilization, EUI.<\/h3>\n<p>What should be the place of race in historiography and historical practice? The last few decades have witnessed a flowering of the historical study of race. Yet most of this scholarship has been confined to late modern colonial, global, and postcolonial histories, with little interest from other fields. In medieval and early modern studies, the bulk of writing on race has been produced by those working in literature rather than history. And if we look to the big treatments of history that have been growing in popularity in the profession and the book trade in recent years, race barely features.<br \/>\nThe aim of our conference is to confront this marginalization of race in history, and to consider how we can centre race in our discipline: theoretically, methodologically, and empirically. We are interested in submissions concerning every period of human history, and all fields in our discipline.<\/p>\n<p>Claire Weeda will present her paper \u201cEthnic Stereotypes: Religion, Environmental Thought and Power in Western Europe 950-1250\u201d on 24 November.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">Flowing Together: A Workshop on Archaeological and Historical Approaches to Middle Eastern Water Management (7th-15th centuries)<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>12-13 November<br \/>\nRadboud Institute for Culture &amp; History<\/h3>\n<p>This workshop aims to explore the various challenges, problems and potentials for collaboration between historians and archaeologists in the study of water management. Since early 2020, the NWO-VICI project \u2018Source of Life\u2019 has been combining archaeological and historical data to study the different ways in which water was managed in Middle Eastern cities and their hinterlands between the 7th and 15th centuries AD. As disciplines, archaeology and history share common aims and interests yet often produce data at different scales, both spatially and temporally, which relate to different groups of people and spheres of life. As a broad theme \u2018water management\u2019 encompasses an extremely broad variety of components including physical infrastructure, social institutions and individual actors. It is a complex task, therefore, to select which methods are most appropriate to combine, analyse and understand these different elements and the overall systems they created. The various sources of data-both material and textual-and the ways we choose to put these together affect the reconstructions of the past that we create. Through a variety of presentations exploring different case studies and methodologies that address different approaches, difficulties and best practice, this event aims to consider, critique and develop cross-disciplinary approaches to water management in the past from the combined perspectives of archaeology and history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">The Testimony of History: To Live and Overcome the Epidemic in the Present<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>International Symposium (online)<br \/>\n18-19 June, 17:30-19:00 (Lisbon time)<\/h3>\n<p>This seminar aims to be a space for knowledge sharing on the theme of epidemics, in different geographical contexts, national and foreign, limited to the Middle and Early Modern Ages, seeking to establish a bridge between the past and the present.

The answer to these challenges is more than a quest for biomedical science and transcends health issues. In this context and seeking complementarity between health sciences and the emerging field of health humanities, this Symposium is promoted, which aims to recourse to historical knowledge to understand and help to live the difficult present time.<\/p>\n<p>This role attributed to the humanities and historical studies has been highlighted in recent months in various initiatives (webinars, online conferences, special magazine numbers, interviews, opinion articles) carried out by various institutions and civil society, and in several countries.<\/p>\n<p>This proposal is a joint initiative of two ongoing hospital and health history research projects: <em>Hospitalis: Hospital architecture in Portugal<\/em> (PTDC\/ART-HIS\/30808\/2017)\u00a0 (IR: Joana Balsa de Pinho; European Institute Culture Science Padre Manuel Antunes; ARTIS \u2013 Institute of History of Art, Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon) and <em>Royal Hospital of All Saints: the city and health<\/em> (IR\u2019s: Andr\u00e9 Teixeira, Edite Martins Alberto, Rodrigo Banha da Silva; DPC-Lisbon City Council, CHAM \u2013 Center for Humanities, NOVA FCSH).<\/p>\n<p>The event will be broadcast on CHAM\u2019s YouTube channel:<br \/>\nJune 18: https:\/\/youtu.be\/txfwRs-4cio<br \/>\nJune 19: https:\/\/youtu.be\/fHfFQFBh0YI<\/p>\n<p>Healthscaping team members Clair Weeda and Janna Coomans will present <em>The Second Plague Pandemic: Mobility and Bottlenecks in Netherlandish Cities<\/em> in the symposium on 19 June.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">\u201cRural Policing in Trecento Piedmont: A Forgotten Urban Gaze and Its Obstruction\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Thursday 23 April 2020, 08:00 CET<br \/>\nSeminar on Zoom<\/h3>\n<h2>Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program seminar<\/h2>\n<h3>Professor Guy Geltner Professor of Medieval History Monash University<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Hinterlands<\/strong>\u2019 role in the growth of cities emerges from a unique metabolic perspective and with rare lucidity thanks to the records of Piedmontese field wardens (campari) from the late thirteenth to the fifteenth century. Throughout the region enclosed by Italy\u2019s Alpine ridges, these officials policed numerous sites and species in the service of cities\u2019 biological as well as political agendas, as urban dwellers came to see the surrounding countryside, not only as a security belt providing military defense, but also as a rich source of caloric and hydraulic energy and a sink for waste. Reconstructing campari\u2019s remits, norms and actions thus recovers a neglected urban gaze grounded in the era\u2019s environmental thinking. Yet the process also sheds light on the tactics that rustics devised to obstruct it, for instance through self-help, concealment and strategic embellishment of reported violations. Campari records thus challenge the centrality of landed aristocracies in the area\u2019s and era\u2019s political historiography, while simultaneously inviting social and urban historians to look beyond the city walls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">Symposium on Paleopathology, Disability, and Care<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The next Paleopathology Association European Meeting will be held in the city of Vilnius, capital of Lithuania.

Although to date most work in this area has been undertaken by prehistorians, a 2019 symposium on disability and care in Medieval times demonstrated the richness of theory and data available from the classical and post-classical world. This dedicated session seeks to bring together researchers from all time periods and cultures to build on this beginning, expanding aims, methods and perspectives in the field. In past times, dealing with the consequences of disease or injury, often caused or exacerbated by environmental and\/or social constraints, placed significant demands on individuals, their families and their communities. How can we identify the likely impacts of pathology? Who received care? Who provided care? How were short-term needs met and longer-term caregiving sustained? How were people with visible impairments treated? How successful was the care available, and what might differences in access to care (and type of care provided) suggest about contemporary norms and values? Addressing questions such as these will deepen our understanding of past disability and care, a goal now part of a new agenda in bioarchaeology.<br \/>\nWe envisage integrated poster and podium presentations, and call for contributions which engage with and\/or extend theory and methodology in this area of bioarchaeological research. Descriptive case studies of disability and care are welcome as these are integral to comprehending individual, \u2018on the ground\u2019 experience, but may be best suited to a poster format.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">Medicine in the Medieval North Atlantic World<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Maynooth University, Ireland<br \/>\n19\u201321 March 2020<\/h3>\n<p>This interdisciplinary conference explores the reception and transmission of medical knowledge between and across England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Scandinavia during the medieval period, and will draw on history, literature, philosophy, science, religion, art, archaeology and manuscript studies.\u00a0It will interrogate medical texts and ideas in both Latin and vernacular languages, addressing questions of translation, cultural and scientific inheritance and exchange, and historical conceptions of health and of the human being within nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed speakers<\/strong>:\u00a0Dr Debby Banham (University of Cambridge); Prof. Guy Geltner (University of Amsterdam); Prof. Charlotte Roberts (Durham University)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organising committee<\/strong>:\u00a0Dr Sarah Baccianti (Queen\u2019s University Belfast); Dr Siobh\u00e1n\u00a0Barrett, Dr Bernhard Bauer &amp; Dr Deborah Hayden (Maynooth University)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">The MedHeal Seminar 2019: Public Health Development and Social Practice Patterns<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Friday, September\u00a020, 2019,\u00a0 09:00\u201316:00.<br \/>\nTrondheim, University Museum (Vitenskapsmuseet)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Programme:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>9.00-915: Axel Christophersen: Welcome, introduction to the MH seminar 2019: Task and expectations.<\/p>\n<p>A.

Many individual studies by historians of art and medicine address specific aspects of this subject, yet there has never been an attempt to define or explore the broader topic. Moreover, most studies interpret Renaissance images and text through the lens of current notions about disease. This conference avoids the pitfalls of retrospective diagnosis, and looks beyond the modern category of \u2018disease\u2019 by viewing \u2018infirmity\u2019 in Galenic humoural terms. Papers explore what infirmities were depicted in visual culture, in what context, why, and when. Specific examples consider the idealized body altered by disease, and the relationship between the depiction of infirmities through miracle cures and through medical treatment. Speakers also examine how and why these representations change across media and over time. Thus, certain types of diseased bodies appear often in votive images, but never in altarpieces or sculptures; representations of wounds and sores grow increasingly less graphic and frequent, but with notable exceptions. Finally, it explores how the development of greater knowledge of the workings and structure of the body in this period, through, for example, the growth of anatomy, was reflected in changing ideas and representations of the metaphorical, allegorical, and symbolic meanings of infirmity and disease. The conference addresses the construction of the notion of disease, and aims to present a new paradigm for the field.<\/p>\n<p>The event is open to all and free of charge, no reservation required.<\/p>\n<p>Link to the event:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/artsonline.monash.edu.au\/the-body-in-the-city\/events\/\">http:\/\/artsonline.monash.edu.au\/the-body-in-the-city\/events\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Symposium: Teaching the Middle Ages and Renaissance to STEM Students 4 December 2023 The details for the event are here.
