beyond the digital humanities5 May 2015

Digital humanities as an academic subject is becoming increasingly popular and influential, but its relationship to orthodox academic disciplines and creative practice remains complex and unclear. And with commentators arguing that this is the ‘post-digital era’ – a coming to terms with the changes brought about by the widespread use of PCs and network technologies – this timely event will review, and aims to build on, the work of NeDiMAH (Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). These two organisations, with the AHRC working through its Digital Transformations theme, have been working to advance the

vision of a digitally transformed arts and humanities. Previously, digital methods were developed and deployed by a relatively small community, but now they are more mainstream and can no longer be treated as separate specialised activities. Presenters and panellists come from a range of international higher education institutions and research organisations who will also look at the relationship between policy, research and practice, examining the potential contribution to challenges such as creative cities, cultural heritage, big data and the relationship to new forms of science.

the mausoleum of hadrian rediscovered: a new architectural studyRome-London lecture

6 May 2015

This year’s lecture at the Institute of Classical Studies (in association with the British School at Rome), has Professor Paolo Vitti presenting an architectural analysis of Hadrian’s mausoleum. The detailed reconstruction, which was prepared for the exhibition

Apoteosi. Da uomini a Dei, held recently in Rome, is based on structures preserved within the present-day Castel Sant’Angelo. Professor Vitti estimates that nearly 80 per cent of the original masonry survives, but is mostly concealed beneath later additions. New insights have been gained into the original architectural layout, the construction methods and the route used to reach the top of the mausoleum.

Quaker contributions in the first world war14 May 2015

A talk by David Blake, head of library and archives, Library of the Religious Society of Friends. In line with the Society’s peace witness, many Quakers refused to bear arms in the First World War and instead undertook relief work in regions ravaged by the war and its aftermath. They faced appalling and often dangerous conditions across Europe. In France they worked tirelessly to bring relief and offer assistance to civilians displaced by the fighting. In Britain they gave support to ‘enemy aliens’ interned in prison camps, to their families, and to prisoners of war transported from Europe.

warburg library’s network: geography and history of an intellectual afterlifeFrom Hamburg to London, and to Montreal: the contribution of Raymond Klibansky (1905–2005)

18–19 June 2015

From the 1920s the Warburg Library owed its unique politics of publication to a close-knit network around Fritz Saxl and Gertrud Bing – a network of collaborators in which Raymond Klibansky played a crucial role. The 10th anniversary of the death of Klibansky will be an occasion to reflect on his exceptional contribution to the great collective ventures of the library, which profoundly altered our perception of occidental intellectual history through publications like the Latin and Arabic Corpus Platonicum Medii Aevi (1940–62) or the belated but all the more famous Saturn and Melancholy (1964).

government secrecy in the era of openness: an acarM symposiumOrganised by the Associationof Commonwealth Archivists and Records Managers (ACARM), in partnership withthe Institute of Commonwealth Studies

19 June 2015

The 2011 Open Government Partnership was established to support and promote transparent and accountable government internationally. However, very little attention is paid to the laws, policies and practices still being used to restrict access to information, including Official Secrets legislation, the Lord Chancellor’s Security and Intelligence Instrument and the Defence Notice system. This one-day symposium will consider the tension between secrecy and openness in government information management.

law and the ageing of humankindWG Hart legal workshop 2015

22–23 June 2015

Scholars and practitioners at the ‘Law and the ageing of humankind’ workshop will explore legal responses to the challenges posed by the ‘greying’ of the population and the demands of inter-generational equity. It will question whether we need a new category of ‘Elder Law’, and perhaps an older persons’ rights convention. Papers will examine developments in domestic laws in countries such as China, Israel and Germany, developments at European level, internationally and in human rights law. Themes include: human rights; relational issues; rights to, and within, institutional care; vulnerability; age discrimination; property, inheritance and taxation; and medical decision-making at the end of life.

whatever happened to the working class? rediscovering class consciousness in contemporary literature 17 September 2015

Between Ed Miliband’s squeezed middle and tabloid diatribes against the underclass, the working class has seemingly disappeared from critical discourse in literary and cultural studies. Nevertheless issues of class, class consciousness, classlessness, and new configurations of class such as new affluent workers, the emergent service sector and the precariat, continue to form a rich source for novelists, poets and dramatists. This interdisciplinary and international conference aims to bring together researchers and academics working in the fields of the literature and culture of the working class.

Sydney AngloProfessor Emeritus, Universityof Wales Swansea

For many years, Sydney Anglo was professor of the history of ideas and then research professor at the University of Wales Swansea. Although Fechtbücher usually indicates the German manuscript and printed book tradition from the 15th–17th centuries, the genre of the personal combat manual extends throughout Europe and endures to the present day. The combination of text and illustrations offers scope for enthusiasts seeking to reconstruct the history of personal combat and for scholars interested in: the depiction of movement; the ways humanist ideas about physical training were put into practice, how they were taught and by whom; the evolution of diagrammatic notation and its relationship to the history of dancing; the application of mathematics and engineering principles to analyse complex human activity; the history of mnemonics.

Duty and Dissent

12 January–5 June 2015

Senate House Library, Convocation Hall

Senate House Library has extremely rich holdings of material produced by those who resisted the national war effort during the First World War, much of which was officially suppressed under the Defence of the Realm Act (1914). This exhibition presents a selection of these items alongside governmental recruiting posters and other printed propaganda. As well as offering evidence of differing opinions, this presentation seeks to draw out similarities between them, particularly how both groups made strident appeals to very similar fundamental principles, or human duties, in order to support their arguments.

The exhibition is free and no registration is required. Please contact Richard Espley with enquiries at [email protected]

Exile Lives told through the Archives

1 April–30 May 2015

Senate House Library, Membership Hall

This exhibition, organised by the Institute of Modern Languages Research in association with Senate House Library, focuses on the experiences of German-speaking refugees who came to the UK in the 1930s after the National Socialists took power in Central Europe. It draws on some of the most fascinating material deposited in the German Studies Archives by exile actors, writers, journalists, trade unionists and other political activists, to illustrate the cultural, social and political lives of the refugees in their new home country. Sponsored by the Miller Trust.

The exhibition is free and no registration is required. Please contact Clare George with enquiries at [email protected]

London: Power, Progress and Pleasure

22 June–18 September 2015

Senate House Library, Convocation Hall

Page 71: Scool of Advanced Study : Events Brochure May - Sep 15

The School of Advanced Study draws on its research and teaching expertise to provide a programme of discipline-specific, generic and online research training to support the development of the scholars of tomorrow.

The School’s programme of personal development and transferable skills training is available in the form of weekly workshops, commencing in the autumn.

This general training is complemented by a set of research methodologies courses for students in social science disciplines, and in the software and management information tools required to enable students to complete their research effectively.

Making the most of the expertise available in the School and the University of London, the institutes between them also provide well-established discipline-specific research training in core humanities disciplines.

Training in aspects of history, for instance, is extensive, notably in the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), which offers a comprehensive programme of short courses in research skills for historians. Taking advantage of the unparalleled availability of historical expertise in the University of London, and the wealth of archival materials in and around the capital, the Institute’s long-established and highly successful courses are widely recognised as the best means of developing and extending both essential and more specialised research skills. The IHR training programme is primarily aimed at postgraduate historians, but also welcomes established historians and independent researchers and writers of all sorts. Further historical skills courses run by the Warburg Institute include classes in medieval and Renaissance Latin for historians, and a programme of training in resources and techniques (jointly with the University of Warwick), which provides specialist research training for doctoral students working on Renaissance and early modern subjects in a range of disciplines. The London Palaeography Summer School run by the Institute of English Studies provides training in that key skill.

Extensive training for students of cultures and literatures is offered by the Institute of Modern Languages Research, whose

well-established and popular programme, comprising a series of Saturday workshops, is offered to any postgraduate student working in modern languages or a related discipline (for instance, film, or art history).

Most of the School’s training is available to postgraduate students across the UK, much of it free of charge. Details of all the research training courses provided are available from our website: www.sas.ac.uk/support-research/research-training

Online research training In addition to the face-to-face training we offer, the School’s Postgraduate Online Research Training (PORT) website provides free online resources including tutorials, handbooks, and multimedia. PORT complements postgraduate study, providing training packages that can be accessed anywhere, at any time, and be undertaken at any pace. It provides the building blocks for humanities research generally, as well as in particular humanities disciplines and specific topics. Designed to meet the needs of 21st-century researchers, PORT offers specific skills-based programmes as well as more general guidance. For further information, please visit port.sas.ac.uk.

12th IBC International PG Conference on current research in Austrian literature, culture and film

5 June 2015

CFP deadline: 1 May 2015

Austria’s contribution to modern German-language literature has been both rich and varied, embracing major novelists (Kafka, Musil), dramatists (Schnitzler, Bernhard), as well as poets (Rilke, Celan) of international repute. This annual international conference offers postgraduate students working in the field of Austrian literature the opportunity to present their work and discuss aspects of it with colleagues and other specialists. The meeting will take place at the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR), and the organisers would welcome papers on any aspect of modern Austrian literature, culture and film. Conference participants will also be invited to contribute to the Austrianresearchuk community academic blog (https://austrianresearchuk.wordpress.com/), a space where members of the global academic Austrian studies community meet to communicate and share information about the latest research. In addition, the Ingeborg Bachmann Centre for Austria Literature will award a travel grant of £100 each to two selected participants.

Please send abstracts of no more than 400 words to: [email protected].

Adaptations and the metropolis

24–25 September 2015

CFP deadline: 31 May 2015

In the past century the expansion of industrialised cities has seen a significant increase in urbanisation and non-rural lifestyles. While literature sought to document these changes, substantial technological advancements in cinema also enabled the metropolis to be presented through a range of visual spectacles. Visions of urban sprawl are present in a variety of media. However, it is through their adaptations and remediation that we can trace society’s ongoing relationship with the city, modernisation and globalisation, and understand aspects of our changing lifestyles, the effects of urbanisation on literary and visual art, national identity, social inequalities, territorial displacement, environmental destruction, utopias and dystopias, and our social and psychological relationship with architecture and city development. Confirmed speakers at this 10th annual Association of Adaptation Studies conference are: Andrew Davies, screenwriter and patron of the Association of Adaptation Studies, Jonathan Powell, former head of BBC drama and controller of BBC1, now professor of media arts, Royal Holloway University, and Professor Graham Holderness, critic, novelist, poet and dramatist. This conference in London is organised with the Institute of English Studies. Papers are welcome on themes related to the metropolis and the city in all forms of remediated adaptation, including literature, theatre, film, television, digital media and other visual and literary arts.

Please send 200-word abstracts of suggested papers to both: Professor Deborah Cartmell, [email protected] and Professor Jeremy Strong, [email protected].
