[Hum_Calendar_Events] Monday 11/23: Mediterranean Studies II, Session 8 - "The Language(s) of Power in Medieval Sicily"

[CDH Help Desk]

The UCLA Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies invites you to attend
"Mediterranean Studies II: East and West at the Center, 1050-1600," the
second part of a two-part seminar series organized by Professor Zrinka
Stahuljak (UCLA French & Francophone Studies and CMRS Associate Director
for Medieval Studies). This seminar has been considering the
Mediterranean as an entity, the center for both East and West, and part
of a world system rather than a line of separation between the emerging
"West" and an exotic "East." For the second part of the seminar series
we have invited our guests to reflect on the methodology applicable to
Mediterranean Studies. Information about the entire seminar series is at
http://www.cmrs.ucla.edu/mediterranean2.html.

 

The eighth seminar is on Monday, November 23, 2009, from 3:00-6:00 pm in
Royce 306. Professor Alexander Metcalfe (History, Lancaster University)
presents  

"The Language(s) of Power in Medieval Sicily." The seminar leaders are
Christine Chism (English, UCLA) and Peter Stacey (History, UCLA).

 

Advance registration is required. Call CMRS at 310-825-1880 or write
cmrs at humnet.ucla.edu to let us know you will attend and to obtain the
user name and password for the advance readings available at
http://www.cmrs.ucla.edu/medstudies_readings/index.html.

 

This seminar is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grant for
Transforming the Humanities at UCLA .
