The Medieval Rites of Wine\nA talk by author\, novelist\, and academic and literary scholar Bruce Holsinger \nThis lecture explores the relationship between theologies of blood and cultures of wine in medieval Western Europe\, from the monastic milieu of 12th-century Burgundy to the wards of late medieval London. Even the most sacred Eucharistic practices of the Middle Ages depended on the vintner’s craft\, while the era’s poetry\, art\, devotional writings\, and liturgies reveal close connections between viticulture and religious life. In the medieval world\, blood piety and oenophilia often went hand in hand. \nBruce Holsinger is Linden Kent Memorial Professor of English at the University of Virginia and editor-in-chief of New Literary History. His most recent book\, On Parchment: Animals\, Archives\, and the Making of Culture from Herodotus to the Digital Age (Yale University Press)\, explores the parchment inheritance of the Euro-Mediterranean world. He is also the author of four novels\, most recently The Displacements (Penguin Random House). His essays have been published in The New York Times\, The New York Review of Books\, Vanity Fair\, and many other publications\, and he appears regularly on NPR. His research has been supported by fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the ACLS\, and the Guggenheim Foundation.

Departing from the govern- ing maxim of Derrida’s Of Grammatology “Il faut penser la trace avant l’étant”\, it is a matter of different procedures and techniques of ‘imaging’ [Bildgebung] and their history. When imaging something that is not invested with a physical body\, any kind of materiality or visuality of its own\, the scene or moment of ‘making an appearance’ is of special interest: that is to say the threshold between immaterial phenomena and pictures of any kind – be it a painting\, drawing\, an effigies\, a photography\, or digital produced image. At stake is the ex- amination of the ways and modes by which an-iconic\, non-mimetic images get access to the visual world and the tradition of iconography. In the light of this approach\, one maydiscover unexpected correspondences between quite diverse and even vastly scattered historical constellations\, e.g. between images from the history of religion and present days natural sciences’ labs.

How has our understanding of history been shaped to favour one reality above all others? Drawing on his own Barbadian heritage\, Peter explores how oral tradition and living culture add a depth of understanding to lives that are often too thinly drawn in surviving records.  Roundtable respondents are Ambereen Dadabhoy (Harvey Mudd College\, Literature)\, Adam Gilbert (USC Thornton)\, and Alaina Morgan (USC\, History).  Facilitator: Lisa Pon (USC\, AHIS). Register here for this ONLINE EVENT.  Co-sponsored by EMSI and VSRI.

This conference seeks to further these investigations. Forest Lawn Museum is an ideal site for exploring the afterlives of the past as constructed or reconstructed in the present. Founded in 1906\, Forest Lawn is home to dozens of reproductions of ancient\, medieval\, and Renaissance works of art and architecture. It was created with the goal of bringing the Grand Tour to Southern California when travel to Europe was not accessible to the vast majority of American society. From full-scale replicas of Michelangelo’s sculpture to buildings that freely combine classical\, Romanesque\, and Gothic elements in novel and imaginative ways\, this version of the Grand Tour was both influenced by and influential upon the culture of twentiethcentury California. Rather than simply replicating existing works of art and architecture\, entirely new monuments were havenmahoy@gmail.com created\, which simultaneously call upon the past while proliferating new experiences\, meanings\, and identities. \nThis conference invites investigation of such uses of the past with the broadest possible scope. We ask scholars to consider engagements with the past in terms of ongoing processes of reinvention\, reproduction\, and reception. Papers that address popular culture\, such as contemporary fantasy literature\, film\, and television\, gaming\, popular and folk music\, theme parks and other immersive amusement sites\, AI generated reconstructions\, historical reenactments\, costume design\, and cultural or folkloric festivals\, are welcome. Studies on medievalisms and scholarship on reproductions of antiquity\, the Middle Ages\, and the Renaissance are also encouraged\, including investigations of architectural reconstructions\, medieval and Renaissance narratives of antiquity\, the role of medievalism in museums\, and non-European perspectives on reinventions of the past. \nWe welcome proposals for twenty-minute papers as well as planned panels of three papers pertinent to the conference themes and their manifestations anywhere in the world. \nAfterlives: Reinvention\, Reproduction\, and Reception will be an in-person conference held in accordance with LA County Covid-19 protocols. Participants should be prepared to meet at Forest Lawn Museum on November 4. After a lunch provided on the patio overlooking the Verdugo mountains\, Museum Director James Fishburne will lead conference participants on a behind-the-scenes tour of Forest Lawn Museum and its holdings. A reception will follow the event. \nFor more information about the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at CSU Long Beach and Forest Lawn Museum\, please visit: \ncla.csulb.edu/centers/med-ren/\nforestlawn.com/museum\ncla.csulb.edu/centers/med-ren/cfp-afterlives-2021/ URL:https://charm.havencreative.org/event/charm-partners-conference-afterlives-reinvention-reception-and-reproduction/ LOCATION:Glendale\, 712 S Glendale Ave.\, Glendale\, CA\, 91205\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Lisa Pon":MAILTO:lisapon@usc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231103T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231103T153000 DTSTAMP:20260421T082917 CREATED:20230918T225010Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230918T230144Z UID:1568-1699020000-1699025400@charm.havencreative.org SUMMARY:Recent CHARM Research: Medieval Monastery of St. Elijah DESCRIPTION:Alison Perchuk (Cal State Channel Islands)discusses her recent book\, TheMedieval Monastery of Saint Elijah: A History in Paint and Stone (Brepols\, 2021) with Jay Rubenstein (USC\, History).  Asynchronous social reading begins now onPerusall.com under course code PON-YJNAT.  A copy of the book will be raffled to attendees!\nRegister to attend online.

Embedded into the very materiality of the Ireichō are special ceramic pieces made from soil collected by the project from seventy-five former incarceration sites from Alaska to Hawai‘i\, Arkansas to California\, and from almost every other region of the United States. \nThe Ireizō lists those names online at ireizo.com.

Their discussion will focus on a new biography of the Warner Brothers\, which showcases the significant role Warner Bros. played in the origins of Hollywood. Warner Bros. films were always a reflection of the brothers’ social and political compass. From the silent era to the Great Depression\, World War II and the Cold War\, Warner Bros. made provocative\, hardedged films that grappled with real world issues. The brothers openly campaigned for social justice and warned about the evils of Nazism at home and abroad. Almost always on the right side of history\, the Warners met the moment at every cultural turning point.
