Representations of classed masculinity, femininity, whiteness, Blackness, and indigeneity engage the perceived threats to, and the threats of, white patriarchy in the face of shifting racial and gender roles. This analysis utilizes travel guides, souvenirs, travel diaries, popular histories, television shows, newspapers, brochures, travel reviews, and marketing materials from the nineteenth century through the present to
  • Explaining Religious Change in Medieval and Early Modern Europe

    Explaining Religious Change in Medieval and Early Modern Europe

    a Migrations of the Holy: Explaining Religious Change in Medieval and Early Modern Europe Alexandra Walsham University of Cambridge Cambridge, United Kingdom How do we conceptualize and explain religious change in medieval and early modern Europe without perpetuating distorting paradigms inherited from the very era of the past that is the subject of our study? How can we do justice to historical development over time without resorting to linear grand narratives that have their intellectual origins in the very movements that we seek to comprehend? In one way or another, this challenging question has inspired all my published work to date, which has focused on the ways in which early mod- ern society adapted to the religious revolutions that unfolded before it. My work has explored the ambiguities, anomalies, and ironies that accompany dramatic moments of ideological and cultural rupture. It has sought to bal- ance recognition of the decisive transformations wrought by the Protestant and Catholic Reformations with awareness of the complexities and contra- dictions that characterized their evolution and entrenchment in practice. It has been marked by a consuming interest in the currents of continuity that tempered, mediated, and even facilitated the upheavals of the early mod- ern era. One consequence of this preoccupation with analyzing how and why cultures are held in tension and suspension during critical phases of transition is that I have been very much less effective in acknowledging and accounting for religious change itself. This is my Achilles’ heel as a historian, and one that I share with a number of other historians of my generation.
  • Music, Myth, and Metaphysics in Twelfth-Century Cosmology

    Music, Myth, and Metaphysics in Twelfth-Century Cosmology

    Music, Myth, and Metaphysics: Harmony in Twelfth-Century Cosmology and Natural Philosophy by Andrew James Hicks A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto c Copyright by Andrew James Hicks (2012) ABSTRACT Music, Myth, and Metaphysics: Harmony in Twelfth-Century Cosmology and Natural Philosophy Andrew James Hicks Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto This study engages a network of music, myth, and metaphysics within late-ancient and twelfth- century music theory and cosmology. It traces the development, expansion, and demise of a (natural-) philosophical harmonic speculation that stems largely from an a priori commitment to a harmonic cosmology with its deepest roots in Plato’s Timaeus. It argues that music theory not only allowed twelfth-century thinkers to conceptualize the fabric of the universe, but it also provided a hermeneu- tic tool for interpreting the ancient and late-ancient texts that offered detailed theories of the world’s construction. The twin goals of this study are thus philosophical and musicological: firstly and philosophically, to analyze and re-assert the importance of musical speculation in the writings of the self-styled physici, who probed the physical world and its metaphysical foundations during the ‘Twelfth-Century Renaissance’; secondly and musicologically, to document the sources and scope of this musical speculation and to situate it within the larger tradition of ‘speculative music theory.’ The first part of the thesis (chapters one and two) disentangles the knotty question of sources for and connections between the late-ancient texts (by Calcidius, Macrobius, and Boethius) that form the background of twelfth-century thought, and it sketches the proper domain of musical thought by tracing the expansion of music’s role in quadrivial and natural-philosophical contexts from late- ancient encyclopedism though various twelfth-century divisiones scientiae.

    Anglo-Saxon Conceptions of Impairment and Disability

    Unhælu: Anglo-Saxon Conceptions of Impairment and Disability Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karen Anne Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee Leslie Lockett, Advisor Brenda Brueggemann Christopher A. Jones 1 Copyright by Karen Anne Bruce 2014 2 Abstract In this dissertation, I provide a reconstruction and analysis of the Anglo-Saxon conceptions of impairment and disability, as they are preserved within the textual record of the period. I develop the Old English lexeme unhælu as the most appropriate term for these conceptions, as it reflects the holism that is central to the Anglo-Saxon understanding of health and ability. Unhælu is a large and fluid category, which covers physical impairment, illness, and injury, and which takes into consideration their impact on both the body’s functionality and appearance. Importantly, it does not seem to cover mental health impairments and other similar conditions. It may perhaps be best understood in terms of Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s notion of the “extraordinary body,” which brings together various kinds of corporeal otherness, such as impairment, deformity, monstrosity, and mutilation. Consequently, this dissertation focuses on defining the polysemous concept of unhælu, determining how the Anglo-Saxons perceived the concept, and discovering how these beliefs impacted the lives of unhal people. To achieve these aims, I employ rigorous textual and linguistic analysis, and adapt the insights of present-day disability theory to an early medieval context. In the opening chapters, I begin by establishing the linguistic and educational foundations of the Anglo-Saxon conception of unhælu.
