Dancing in Body and Spirit: Dance and Sacred Performance In
DANCING IN BODY AND SPIRIT: DANCE AND SACRED PERFORMANCE IN THIRTEENTH-CENTURY BEGUINE TEXTS A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Jessica Van Oort May, 2009 ii DEDICATION To my mother, Valerie Van Oort (1951-2007), who played the flute in church while I danced as a child. I know that she still sees me dance, and I am sure that she is proud. iii ABSTRACT Dancing in Body and Spirit: Dance and Sacred Performance in Thirteenth-Century Beguine Texts Candidate’s Name: Jessica Van Oort Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2009 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Joellen Meglin This study examines dance and dance-like sacred performance in four texts by or about the thirteenth-century beguines Elisabeth of Spalbeek, Hadewijch, Mechthild of Magdeburg, and Agnes Blannbekin. These women wrote about dance as a visionary experience of the joys of heaven or the relationship between God and the soul, and they also created physical performances of faith that, while not called dance by medieval authors, seem remarkably dance- like to a modern eye. The existence of these dance-like sacred performances calls into question the commonly-held belief that most medieval Christians denied their bodies in favor of their souls and considered dancing sinful. In contrast to official church prohibitions of dance I present an alternative viewpoint, that of religious Christian women who physically performed their faith. The research questions this study addresses include the following: what meanings did the concept of dance have for medieval Christians; how did both actual physical dances and the concept of dance relate to sacred performance; and which aspects of certain medieval dances and performances made them sacred to those who performed and those who observed? In a historical interplay of text and context, I thematically analyze four beguine texts and situate them within the larger tapestry of medieval dance and sacred performance. -

Secular Gothic Ivory
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture TACTILE PLEASURES: SECULAR GOTHIC IVORY A Dissertation in Art History by Katherine Elisabeth Staab © 2014 Katherine Elisabeth Staab Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2014 ii The dissertation of Katherine Elisabeth Staab was reviewed and approved* by the following: Elizabeth Bradford Smith Associate Professor of Art History Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Brian Curran Professor of Art History Charlotte M. Houghton Associate Professor of Art History Kathryn Salzer Assistant Professor of History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT This study approaches secular Gothic ivory mirror cases from the fourteenth century. Even more specifically, it considers scenes of so-called “romance” or “courtly” couples, which were often given as love pledges and used as engagement presents.1 There has been a recent flourishing of art historical interest in materiality and visual culture, focusing on the production, distribution, consumption, and significance of objects in everyday life, and my examination adds to that body of work.2 My purpose is not to provide a survey, history, or chronology of these objects, but rather to highlight one important, yet little-studied aspect. My dissertation situates the sensation of touch in the context of a wider understanding of the relationship between -
AHR Forum the Kids Are All Right: on the “Turning” of Cultural History
AHR Forum The Kids Are All Right: On the “Turning” of Cultural History JAMES W. COOK To situate this introduction, it will be useful to focus briefly on just what con- stituted the cultural turn. Victoria E. Bonnell and Lynn Hunt RUN A FEW WEB SEARCHES FOR the term “cultural turn,” and you will begin to grasp the scope of an increasingly viral concept. In Google Books alone, you will find more than 100,000 citations, the bibliographic traces of the concept’s extended wandering.1 Switch to the search engine at OCLC WorldCat, ArticleFirst, or ECO, and the num- bers become less daunting, somewhere on the order of a few hundred hits. In these more specialized databases, however, the searchable content is limited to titles and abstracts. So what you are really seeing is the initial layers of a much larger con- versation: the figurative tip of the bibliographic iceberg.2 What might the iceberg tell us? Most of all, perhaps, it provides a wide-angle view of the concept’s current ubiquity. In addition to Victoria Bonnell and Lynn Hunt’s 1999 volume Beyond the Cultural Turn, you will find thousands of recent books in- voking “cultural turns” in a wide variety of scholarly contexts—from sociology to My first thanks go to my fellow authors in this forum, especially Judith Surkis and Julia Adeney Thomas, as well as Konstantin Dierks, Sarah Knott, and Robert Schneider, who laid the groundwork for this project. For helpful ideas, readings, criticisms, and encouragements, I am grateful to Eric Slauter, Mer- edith McGill, Ann Fabian, Jackson Lears, Gina Morantz-Sanchez, Mark Hewitson, Marni Sandweiss, Andy Rotter, Tanya Erzen, Rachel St. -

XCVIII JULY,2012 No. 3 WHY PARADOX? THE CONTRADICTIONS OF MY LIFE AS A SCHOLAR BY CAROLINE WALKER BYNUM* Distinguished historian Caroline Walker Bynum discusses influ- ences on her work in medieval European history as teacher and scholar and draws conclusions about methods of writing history. Keywords:historical method; women’s history; history of the body; materiality; identity; medieval Europe When I entered the Harvard Graduate School in fall 1962 to study history, the department secretary asked me immediately what field I really intended to pursue.“You put on your application medieval or early-modern history,”she said.“You must decide so we can assign you an adviser.”Profoundly unsure, I thought for a few minutes and then chose the Middle Ages. I have not been sorry for the choice. But that choice is not the point of what I recount here.The point is rather that my confusion about where to locate my interests either chronologi- cally or disciplinarily was nothing new. I had tried four different undergraduate majors before settling on history and had done so more because it gave a great deal of latitude than because I thought it—or any other major—was what I really wanted. -

Bhabha shows how stereo typing is based at once upon "daemonic repetition" and absolute rigidity, such that stereotyping's apparent fixity, as sign of difference, is paradoxical. Stereotyping thus carries within it the force of ambivalence, a force that is, e.g., largely ignored, as Bhabha points out, by critics and readers of oriental ism, Said included. -
Accommodation As a Rhetorical Principle Twenty Years After John O’Malley’S the First Jesuits (1993)
journal of jesuit studies 1 (2014) 347-372 brill.com/jjs Accommodation as a Rhetorical Principle Twenty Years after John O’Malley’s The First Jesuits (1993) Stephen Schloesser Loyola University, Chicago [email protected] Abstract Twenty years after its publication, John O’Malley’s The First Jesuits (1993) can be located within a broader “postmodern” intellectual context that followed in the wake of 1989 and the consequent end of the Cold War. This context included both Stephen Toulmin’s Cosmopolis (1990), a revisionist account of the origins of “modernity,” and Homi K. Bhabha’s The Location of Culture (1994), a foundational work in post-colonial theoriza- tion of cultural hybridity. O’Malley’s thesis that early Jesuit ministries shared a common fundamental “rhetorical” dimension exemplifies Toulmin’s account of a six- teenth-century rhetorical preference for the particular, local, and timely. This rhetori- cal accommodation to the individual also informed the missionary strategies developed by Valignano and Ricci in the Far East. Ricci’s True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven (1603) can be read as a hybridizing cultural accommodation, a strategy with both promise and peril for self-identity. However, as the tumultuous (and eventually tragic) history of the Chinese Rites demonstrates, a Renaissance preference for the particular would encounter serious opposition during the seventeenth-century’s “quest for certainty” and corollary embrace of universals. Toulmin would argue, how- ever, that this “Counter-Renaissance” repudiation of accommodation
