Medieval History
The Twenty-Second Barnard Medieval and Renaissance Conference
December 4, 2010 Barnard College, NYC
Animals and Humans in the Culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance
An interdisciplinary conference that will explore some of the many ways in
which the human-animal connection and ?divide? was imagined, employed,
figured and explained by people in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
Special attention will be given to the multiple constructions and fluid
and tense nature of the boundaries between wild and civilized. We seek
proposals that go beyond animal figuration and instead focus on literal
and metaphorical interactions between humans and other animals. Papers
might consider texts on husbandry, falconry, hunting, companion animals,
warfare, bestiaries, fables, encyclopedias, heraldry, visual arts,
narrative, philosophy, and theology, and analyses informed by current
critical animal theory are especially welcomed.
Plenary speakers:
Laurie Shannon (Northwestern University
Bruce Holsinger (University of Virginia)
Plenary panel:
Aranye Fradenberg (UC Santa Barbara)
Paula Lee (Arete Initiative, U of Chicago)
Karl Steel (CUNY Brooklyn College)
Sarah Stanbury (Holy Cross)
Julian Yates (U of Delaware)
Please submit one-page abstracts and c.v. to Conference Organizer, Laurie
