2020 Dissertation Template with CONTENT MINOR REVISIONS Jan Dante and Boccaccio: A Poetics of Textiles Julianna Van Visco Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Julianna Visco All Rights Reserved Abstract Dante and Boccaccio: A Poetics of Textiles Julianna Visco This dissertation examines the literary depiction of textiles and textile-adjacent objects in Dante’s Commedia and Boccaccio’s Decameron using a two-pronged approach: answering Barolini’s call to historicize and incorporating Smith’s approach to investigating materials and workshop practices. While being physically engaged with textiles is a universal experience, the Trecento Florentine was immersed in a textile-driven culture. Dante and Boccaccio’s deployment of textiles reflect and engage with this specific historical moment and geographic location. This project uses an exploration of the production practices, in other words a focus on the processes of making, as a lens for the text. Techniques, such as the hem, are a site of skilled practice; linking the physicality of craft production with the tacit knowledge of craftspersons. The dual-sidedness of textiles provides a material example of the recto/verso relationship inherent in cultural production. Dante, often using simile or metaphor, represents textiles in the Commedia to make spiritual and cosmic concepts more clear and comprehensible to his readership. Weaving, for Dante, is intricately connected to writing and provides a model for meditating on the process of making. Boccaccio locates, in the specific material conditions of the textile industry, categories—such as gender, occupation, and social status—with which he makes radical narrative choices in order to disrupt the essentializing nature of categories themselves. Finally, an exploration of wrapping and disintegration reveals the inexorable fate of textiles.

To my father, James Van Gelder, for insisting that there is a solution to every problem. v Introduction Weaving is a primordial practice and a universal language. Despite regional and temporal variations in raw materials, tools, and technology, the binary system undergirds all methods of weaving; a series of zeroes and ones, heddles up and heddles down. This system became the inspiration for modern day computing via Charles Babbage and Ava Lovelace. But punch cards did not institute something new. Rather, the application of punch cards only mechanized a previously established practice with the Jacquard loom, itself an innovation on previous practices. Moreover, we can go back millennia. Loom weights are commonly found in archaeological excavations in Europe and the Near East. There is evidence of warp- weighed looms from the Neolithic period, 6,500-12,000 years ago.1 In this sense, weaving is both a primitive and advanced technology. And the mathematical foundation upon which weaving is built obliterates many of the differences found in weaving practices across geography and time. The nomenclature around modern day computing finds its source in many Latin words associated with weaving.2 Even in our day-to-day speech the metaphors connecting weaving to narrative are inescapable: we talk about weaving a story, spinning a tale, or following a narrative thread. Text is connected to textile. The mathematical foundation of weaving underpins the common cognitive and embodied experiences of weavers and weaving pattern designers. 1 Barber reports weaving: “is older than pottery or metallurgy and perhaps even than agriculture and stockbreeding.” See Barber, Elizabeth Wayland. Prehistoric Textiles: The Development of Cloth in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages with special reference to the Aegean. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1992, 2. 2 Network and net are frequent examples. 1 This project will look at weaving language in the Commedia and the Decameron. Both historical data and a cognitive and physiological understanding of the embodied practice of weaving allow us to better decode weaving language in the Commedia and the Decameron, but the scope of this project is not limited to the single modality of weaving. Noting that the English derivation of the word “loom” from the Middle English lome originally referred to a tool or utensil, Tim Ingold provocatively asks: “Does this not suggest that to our predecessors, at least, the surface-building activity of weaving, rather than any of those activities involving the application of force to pre-existing surfaces, somehow epitomized technical processes in general?”3 Ingold describes three ways the skill of weaving can be broadened or likened to other craft skills. The practitioner operates within a field of forces set up through their engagement with material. The work consists not just of mechanical application of external force but rather of care, judgment and dexterity, and the action has a narrative quality: in other words every movement grows rhythmically out of the one before and lays the groundwork for the next.4 With its narrative component, it is the third skill that most captures the intrinsic relationship between text and textile. By accepting Ingold’s premise, we can cast a wider net in our object of study beyond the specific practice of weaving to include the practices of spinning, sewing, tailoring, and other elements of textile production because in this view weaving is the process, not only the end product. Ingold concludes that the weaving is the making. For literary scholars the text mediates the object. Because this project examines 3 Ingold, Tim. The Perception of the Environment. Abingdon: Rutledge, 2000, 346. 4 Ibid., 347. 2 the textual evidence of gestures and signs pointing to material objects and practices, I would loosely define the titular poetics of textiles in this way: the weaving is the writing. Terza rima, the metrical form in which Dante wrote the Commedia, is described as an interlocking or weaving of words. Alan Wong writes: “Assigned prosodic as well as symbolic functions, terza rima in the Commedia is no mere embellishment. Prosodically, it gives the poem an interlocking unity in which lines, while resonating across the page, echo each other within each tercet.”5 One could make the textile comparison to embroidery, as an embellishment that exists on the surface, versus weaving or tapestry, where the design lives in and is constituted by the structure of the fabric. The rhyme word, like a weft, emerges in a tercet again only after it has been submerged in a rhythmic pattern by the warp of the preceding tercet. In contrast to Dante’s terza rima, Boccaccio wrote the Decameron in prose narrative. The structure of the Decameron, one of its primary features, has been the subject of much critical exegesis for almost seven hundred years. The framing techniques and motifs reveal another version of a woven structure. While not initially obvious, Dante’s Commedia is rich in textile content. There are silk worms, thread, needles and scissors, wool and silk, spinners, a tailor and cobbler, belts, gowns, and cloaks, all items loaded with semiotic content.6 Boccaccio fills his novelle with depictions of cloaks, gowns, purses, and veils but also lanaioli, merchants, spinners, and carders. Upon closer examination of these representations, I became increasingly curious about how the objects were made, by whom, and what the processes 5 Wong, Alan. When Theory and Practice Meet: Understanding Translation through Translation. Cambridge: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016, 263. 6 I am using Ingold’s terminology with “objects loaded with semiotic content.” See Ingold, Tim. The Perception of the Environment. Abingdon: Rutledge, 2000, 347. 3 of making could reveal about the text. This dissertation thus functions as part of a larger project of bringing the material turn to medieval Italian literature. Just as an examination of materials has shifted and enriched the conversation in historical and art historical discourses, literary analysis can benefit from the application of the material turn to texts. Textiles inherently play a physical and emotional role for the consumer and producer and in this historical period of cultural transition textiles play a symbolic and economic role in the construction of Florentine identity.

    The Bath1 H was Farkhanda Begam but she was known as Farrukh Bhabhi and everyone addressed her as Farrukh Bhabhi. This form of address was simply a convention because no one here was related to or had even seen her deceased husband. Whether she was ever anyone’s sister-in-law or not is beside the point, for, any observer of her dutiful nature would agree that the title suited her well. And she herself was not opposed to it. She was one of those women who are born with a singular eagerness to serve men. Such women adore their brothers in childhood, are a source of delight for their fathers as long as they are single, please their husbands in marriage and pander to the whims of sons in old age. She was a short, petite woman with a face quite large for someone with her build. If you had never seen her before and saw her the first time sitting on the floor wrapped up in a shawl, you’d be surprised when she got up for some casual errand. Your eyes would wait for her to grow taller. She was about twenty-eight years old but looked much younger. What grabbed your attention at first glance was the extraordinary sparkle in her eyes that was set off to advantage by the plainness of her other fea- tures. These sparkling eyes also covered up for her lack of education when she joined in discussions on subtle issues. Her complexion was the color of wheat and honey, and her hair sprang from her forehead thickly, forming a widow’s peak and making it almost impossible to part it from the middle, so she often wore her hair swept back in a masculine style.

  • AW20 Press Pack
    PRESS PACK Autumn/Winter 2020 OUR STORY Since 1836 Holland & Sherry has proudly supplied the most prestigious tailors and luxury brands with the finest cloths in the world. Stephen George Holland and Frederick Sherry began the business as woollen merchants at 10 Old Bond Street, London, specialising in both woollen and silk cloths. In 1886 Holland & Sherry moved premises to Golden Square, the epitome of the woollen merchanting trade. By 1900 Holland & Sherry was exporting to many countries worldwide. At this time a sales office was established in New York. In the early part of the twentieth century, the United Kingdom, Europe, North and South America were the dominant markets for the company. Amongst other distribution arrangements, there was a Holland & Sherry warehouse in St. Petersburg, Russia; a successful market prior to the revolution as it is today. In 1968 Holland & Sherry bought Scottish cloth merchant, Lowe Donald, based in Peebles in the Scottish Borders and located their distribution to the purpose- built warehouse there. Of all the cloth merchants of Golden Square which were established in the late 1800’s, only Holland & Sherry remains. Over the decades the company has purchased nearly twenty other wool companies. In 1982 Holland & Sherry moved their flagship showroom and registered office to the centre of sartorial style – Savile Row, London where it remains today. Today, our international headquarters in Peebles concentrates on customer service, ordering, shipping, cutting, bunchmaking and design operations where we are constantly engaged in research for ever finer and more luxurious fibres and fabric qualities; sourcing the finest natural fibres, ranging from Super 240’s, cashmere to pure worsted Vicuña.
