1. CFP 鈥� Approaches to Women鈥檚 History Symposium
Reaching Through Time: Approaches to Women鈥檚 History Today
Friday 16 March 2018
Keynote speakers:
Dr Lucy Delap, Reader in modern British and gender history.
Sarah Dunant, award-winning historical novelist.
To mark Women鈥檚 History Month, we invite proposals for twenty-minute papers from a variety of disciplines on any aspect of women鈥檚 history, 1200-1800. The Symposium looks to discuss both a selection of women鈥檚 cultural works and our theoretical approaches to them in scholarship today. We welcome papers exploring women鈥檚 cultural output and how they interact with the socio-political structures that define their society. At the same time, we invite papers to reflect on how we approach women's history in scholarship today. Should it be a separate subject, or have we reached a point where it can be incorporated into the general curriculum without getting lost, and how might this be done? How can we think about women in the past and make them visible without reinforcing divisions between genders?
Suggested topics might include, but are by no means limited to: women鈥檚 works; women and the law; women in public and private space; representations of women in art and literature; methodological approaches to women鈥檚 history.
We welcome the submission of individual papers as well as proposals for complete panels. Individual paper proposals should consist of a title, an abstract (max. 250 words), list of keywords, a short biography (max. 200 words). Each panel proposal should consist of three individual proposals.
Proposals should be submitted to听writingwomeninhistory@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is听24听January 2018.听听

5. CFP 鈥� Women, Language(s) and Translation in the Italian Tradition
Organiser: Dr Helena Sanson.听
Keynote speaker:听Professor Peter Burke, Emmanuel College, 海角社区.
Guest of honour:听Dacia Maraini, internationally acclaimed听novelist, essayist, playwright, and translator.
This conference intends to explore听women鈥檚 roles in the circulation of ideas and the dissemination of knowledge in the Italian tradition, across the centuries, by means of translations. It focuses on the role of women as translators, as well as, more broadly,听agents of all kinds (e.g. translations for women, commissioning of translations by women) in the production and circulation of translations.
In the last few decades an expanding corpus of scholarly works and research activities have greatly contributed to extending our knowledge of women鈥檚 roles in the history and cultures of translation, especially with reference to England, France, and Germany, whereas听in the听Italian tradition, the topic has so far not received the scholarly attention it deserves.
Crossing linguistic and cultural boundaries, women have translated a variety of genres, from poetry, novels, and plays, to history, biography, conduct literature, economic and legal texts, religious and devotional writings, scientific and philosophical works.
Questions to be considered when submitting proposals, include, but are not limited to:
Women鈥檚 access to the study of classical and foreign languages; the metalinguistic听tools and resources听available to assist translators in their task, as well as practices of language learning;听women translators and their access to and use of the Italian language, and their contribution to its development by means of translations;听the multilingual and multicultural contexts of the Italian peninsula, and therefore the linguistic and cultural contexts in which translations took place and were received;听women as patrons, printers, and readers of translations, and their role in the circulation of translations among countries;听individual and collaborative translations;听the 鈥榓uthorship鈥� of translations (e.g. published听anonymously/under initials/full name); women translators鈥� reflections on听translation; translation practices and attitudes;听tactics of intercultural negotiations of ideas and meanings, and of adaptation of the original texts;听modes of production and distribution of translations; influence and reception of translations听for听and/or听by听women; intended audiences and readerships;听material aspects of works translated;听manuscript and print translations.听Contributions that discuss translations of Italian women writers鈥� works into other languages are also welcome.
Presentations in English are strongly encouraged.听Papers should be 20 minutes in length (+10 minutes of discussion).听Proposals should be submitted听in听a single Word/Pdf听document听to听the organiser听Dr Helena Sanson (hls37@cam.ac.uk),听and should contain the following information:
Name,听Institutional affiliation (if any),听Email,听Title of the proposal and abstract (250-300 words),听a short CV, with a list of your main publications (no more than 2 pages).
Proposals by postgraduate students and early career researchers are encouraged and particularly welcome.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is听23 February 2018.听Notification of acceptance will be made at the听beginning of April 2018.

Dr Elizabeth Currie (Central Saint Martins) and听Rebecca Unsworth (QMUL/V&A)听
Dr Elizabeth Currie:听 'Action Men:听Dressing Bravely in Florence from the Siege to the Thirty Years War'
Abstract:
In early modern Italy a range of inner attributes could be expressed through physical appearances. This talk will focus on the embodiment of bravery. It will consider the distinctions between valour, courage, and bravery to show how performance was particularly crucial to an understanding of the latter, during real acts of warfare as well as simulated ones.听
听
Three different aspects of dress that had specific connections with military might or physical strength will be analysed: tight breeches that emphasized musculature, leather doublets or jerkins, and gowns with frogging. Did these styles retain vestiges of their original symbolism after they became fashionable? And if so, how acceptable were they in courtly society, at a time when the seductive appearances of soldiers were thought to pose a moral and social threat?

"REFUGEES WELCOME: THE 'RIACE MODEL' AND ITS MAYOR"
WITH DOMENICO LUCANO, MAYOR OF RIACE, ITALY & DR ANNA BAGNOLI,
SOCIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
6PM THURSDAY 1 DECEMBER | MILL LANE LECTURE ROOM 5
听
"For decades emigration drained life from Riace, a village of 2,000 on
the Calabrian coast. When a boatload of Kurdish refugees reached its
shores in 1998, Lucano, then a schoolteacher, saw an opportunity. He
offered them Riace's abandoned apartments along with job training.
Eighteen years on, Mayor Lucano is hailed for saving the town, whose
population now includes migrants from 20-some nations, and rejuvenating
its economy. (Riace has hosted more than 6,000 asylum seekers in all.)
Though his pro-refugee stance has pitted him against the mafia and the
state, Lucano's model is being studied and adopted as Europe's refugee
crisis crests." -- From Fortune's "World's Greatest Leaders 2016"

This interdisciplinary lecture will explore how Dante鈥檚 Commedia was translated into architecture for a variety of purposes ranging from the theological to the political, while also employing the phenomenology of space.听 It will focus on two case studies: the chapel by Philibert Delorme at the Ch芒teau d鈥橝net (c. 1550) and the Danteum project for Rome (1938) by Giuseppe Terragni and Pietro Lingeri.听 Although widely separated in time and space, both designs have much in common; and their experiential architecture, in turn, helps to focus attention on the theological importance of 鈥渓ived space鈥� in Dante鈥檚 literary project.听

听1.听听听听听CIRN-funded conference, 'Donne al potere, donne di potere: Women, Culture, and Politics in Italy in the Years of the Economic Crisis (2008-?)'.
Friday 12 February, from 2pm to 6.30pm,
Venue: St John's College 海角社区, Fisher Building, Boys Smith Room
Papers will be in English. All welcome. There is no attendance fee.
Programme
2.00 Welcome and Introduction.听
2.30 Annalisa Rosselli, Professor of Economic History at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata':
'The Impact of the Economic Crisis on Gender Equality in Italy'
3.30 Maria Serena Sapegno, Professor of Italian Literature at the University of Rome 'La Sapienza' and one of the founding members of 'Se non ora quando:
'Italian Women in the New Century: a Controversial Modernity'
4.45 Olivia Guaraldo, Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Verona:
'Between Foucault and Bagaglino? Italy's Neoliberal Patriarchalism and its Aftermath'
5.45 Roundtable and Q&A.
In the wake of the global financial crisis, which dramatically conditioned European and thus Italian economic policies, the Italian state witnessed the birth of four governments in seven years (Berlusconi 2008-11; Monti 2011-13; Letta 2013-14; Renzi 2014-date). In these years, the participation of women in the public debate on politics and on the question of gender in Italy reached a degree of visibility comparable only to that of second-wave feminism in the 1970s. Examples of this trend include the wide participation in the protest of February 13, 2011, in response to sexist stereotypes promoted in the years of berlusconismo, that gave birth to the feminist network Se non ora quando; the campaign against feminicide supported by several important national newspapers and other media; and the great publicity given to recent books, documentaries, stage plays, etc. on the social and symbolic violence experienced by women in contemporary Italy. In this heightened general attention towards the problem of the role and the representation of women in institutions, in the media, and in the culture industry, several new models of authoritative and empowered women have been produced, which are also an expression of the changing values promoted by groups operating at these levels. These models are often contradictory among themselves, and represent a challenge to feminist theorists and activists, because of the theoretical and political difficulty of evaluating and assessing their impact on women and on the transformation of the social imaginary. This project aims to create a space for an interdisciplinary debate on the hermeneutic and political questions faced by (Italian) feminism in this important transitional moment.

听2.听听听听听CIRN听Annual Lecture
Please note change of date and venue
Thursday 25 February 2016, 5 p.m., Senior Parlour, Gonville and Caius College
Richard A. Etlin (University of Maryland),听鈥淭he Architectural Afterlife of Dante鈥檚听Commedia, 1550-1938鈥�
This interdisciplinary lecture will explore how Dante鈥檚听Commedia听was translated into architecture for a variety of purposes ranging from the theological to the political, while also employing the phenomenology of space.听 It will focus on two case studies: the chapel by Philibert Delorme at the Ch芒teau d鈥橝net (c. 1550) and the Danteum project for Rome (1938) by Giuseppe Terragni and Pietro Lingeri.听 Although widely separated in time and space, both designs have much in common; and their experiential architecture, in turn, helps to focus attention on the theological importance of 鈥渓ived space鈥� in Dante鈥檚 literary project.

This one-day event will celebrate the publication of the first grammar of the Italian language, Fortunio's Regole grammaticali della volgar lingua (1516), ahead of its 500th anniversary in 2016. The event intends to be a re-assessment of the Italian grammatical production in the last five centuries, examining its development from Fortunio's Regole, which established a long-lasting tradition of 'grammatica degli autori' (based on the language of the great authors of the past), right up until contemporary speaker-based grammar production, a 'grammatica dell鈥檜tente鈥�.听
You will find full details and a link to the online booking form here:
Registration costs 拢30 full fee, 拢20 for students. Lunch and refreshments are included.听
In relation to the conference, Dr Sanson and Dr Lucioli have organised a book display of Italian Grammars held at the University Library, published in Italy and abroad, between 1516 and the end of the nineteenth century. The book display is now on, in the three glass cases in the corridor that leads to the UL tearoom. The book display will end on 11 December, the day after the conference.

5. Bilingualism and Biliteracy in Oscan South Italy
Wednesday, 1 May 2013
12:00 - 14:00
Location:听CRASSH, Alison Richard Building, SG2 (ground floor)
Dr Nicholas Zair听(Peterhouse; Classics) presents at the CRASSH Postdoctoral Research Seminar.
The event is free to attend but registration is required. A sandwich lunch will be provided. Registration website:
Abstract
The South of Italy between 400 and 100BC was extremely multicultural and multilingual, with speakers of various languages, including Greek, Latin, Oscan and Messapic all in contact at various times. My talk will examine the evidence for cultural and linguistic interaction provided by the use of different alphabets to write Oscan, a well understood language related to Latin. Oscan was spoken from Campania to the toe of Italy, and I will focus on the inscriptions from modern-day Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily, which use the Greek alphabet. Traditionally, inscriptions written in this alphabet have been seen as reflecting a fixed and rigid school of trained scribes using an orthography specifically developed for writing Oscan. Variation in the rules of this orthography have been attributed to a reform at the start of the 3rd century under the influence of specific changes in the Oscan alphabet used further North, or the Greek alphabet used to write Greek. I will argue that we should instead identify continuing variation in orthography due to individual factors, in particular widespread Greek-Oscan bilingualism leading to shared Greek-Oscan orthographic practices.
6. Masterclass on Italian Illuminated Incunabula at UL:
海角社区 University Library will be holding its 9th masterclass as part of the Incunabula Project on Tuesday 4 June 2013, with a repeat on Tuesday 25 June 2013.听
The masterclass, entitled 鈥淗and Illumination on Venetian Incunabula in 海角社区 University Library鈥�, will be led by Lilian Armstrong, Mildred Lane Kemper Professor of Art at Wellesley College, Emerita, and a leading authority in the History of Italian Illumination.听 Her research concentrates in particular on book decoration in Venice in the second half of the 15th century, following the invention of printing with movable type.
With the help of treasures from the incunabula collection in the University Library, Professor Armostrong will illustrate the development of Venetian book ornamentation and its transition from hand painted decoration to woodcut illustration in the late 15th听and early 16thcentury.
The seminar will be held in the Keynes Room at the Library. It will start at 2.30pm and will last approximately 90 minutes, allowing time for questions and discussion. Attendance will be limited in order to allow all attendees a chance to see the books under discussion up close, and to participate in the discussion.
To book your place, please email听<incunabula@lib.cam.ac.uk>.

4. HISTORY OF MATERIAL TEXTS SEMINAR: 'ITALIAN BOOKS IN AN ENGLISH GREAT HOUSE LIBRARY: THE CASE OF BELTON HOUSE IN LINCOLNSHIRE'
Abigail Brundin (海角社区) and Dunstan Roberts (海角社区) Thursday, 8 November 5:30 pm Room SR-24, Faculty of English, 9 West Road
When English travellers went to Italy in the early modern period, they not only brought art objects and other tourist trophies back with them, they also acquired books. These books, combined with those bought in preparation for travel and those bought afterwards, provide a valuable insight into Anglo-Italian cultural relations. They also enrich our perceptions of the cultural vibrancy which Italy communicated to Protestant nations in the wake of the Council of Trent, despite ongoing religious disagreements. The holdings of an early modern private library help to map the competing influences on that house and family, the works arriving from other contexts, and their passage from reader to reader within the household and beyond it. Thus the library, more than simply a collection of books, becomes a repository of the social history of the place. More widely, the findings of this study, conducted in collaboration with the National Trust, engage with larger questions about English cultural permeability in the early modern period, facilitated through the exchange of books and ideas.
All welcome. Wine & soft drinks will be served at the start of the seminar. For more information, please contact Jason Scott-Warren (jes1003@cam.ac.uk), Andrew Zurcher (aez20@cam.ac.uk) or Dunstan Roberts (dcdr2@cam.ac.uk)

Easter Term 2012
LAUNCH OF CAMBRIDGE ITALIAN RESEARCH NETWORK
We had an excellent response to our call for interest in this new network, with over a hundred replies. We hope to build on this over the coming months by听sponsoring events and research initiatives relating to Italy and by facilitating contact and communication within the network.
We're pleased to announce a launch event for the network. 听On 12 May, Jesus College is hosting a symposium on Venice (programme attached). At the end of the day, CIRN will celebrate the establishment of the network with a drinks reception: 5.30pm in the Fellows' Garden (or the Coleridge Room, if wet).听Do come along to the drinks and/ or the symposium (numbers are limited for lunch, though, so please contact Mary Laven asap -听mrl25@cam.ac.uk听- to check on that).
As part of the network's activities, we'll send round digests of relevant announcements of events etc, but we'll try not to clutter your inboxes too much.听

4. Interdisciplinary work on the Gubbio-Perugia frontier
In the interdisciplinary spirit of the new network, I invite interest in our work on the longue duree of the Gubbio-Perugia frontier founded in the 6th century BC, but enduring up to the present day in the communal boundaries of two cities. Key phases include the construction of Ancient Etruscan and Umbrian identity, the Byzantine corridor of the seventh century AD between Ravenna and Rome, the construction of castles and abbeys from the tenth century AD onwards and the fluid military frontier of June and July 1944. The work is centred around the distinguished Benedictine abbey of S.Maria di Val di Ponte with an early undercroft, fine cloister and the location of work of the 13th century Maestro di Montelabate and the original location of further work by the Maestro di Montelabate and by the early 14th century Meo di Guido da Siena now in the Perugia art gallery
Project website here:
More details on the abbey here:
The excavation this summer will be on twitter ... and is already on Facebook.
There is potential for cross disciplinary research and grant applications for anyone with research that coincides with these themes.
I can send an overview article in press for the Papers of the British School at Rome to anyone who sends me an email.
