Inside Notre Dame's College of Arts and Letters Inside Notre Dame’s College of Arts and Letters Committed to Scholarship Faculty research is rooted most firmly within the 21 departments of the College of Arts and Letters, but such scholarship also drives a number of campus research centers and institutes, including these recent additions.

Distinguished Faculty Whether they are among the most well-respected senior scholars in their fields or early in their careers, Arts and Letters faculty contribute to that collective dialogue that moves knowledge forward. In the process, they regularly earn the recognition of their peers, leading to distinctions such as those detailed here.

Distinctive Research and Resources In just under a decade, faculty in the College of Arts and Letters have won 107 fellowships from agencies whose award decisions are tracked by the National Research Council. Included in Notre Dame’s total are 37 National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships, the most awarded to any university faculty in the country from 1999–2008; the eight received in 2007–08 represents the best year for any school during this time.

Advances in Graduate Studies A growing investment in doctoral programs, both by the College of Arts and Letters and the University, is matched by the caliber of students choosing Notre Dame for graduate studies. All students admitted into a doctoral program in the Colleges of Arts and Letters, Engineering, and Science are considered for a Richard and Peggy Notebaert Premier Fellowship. For up to six years, fellows receive full tuition, health insurance, and a stipend that is among the most generous in the country. Notre Dame now offers a Ph.D. in peace studies. One of the few of its kind in the world, the new program was developed by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies in partnership with the Departments of History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Edward Sorin Postdoctoral Fellowships allow select Ph.D. recipients from Arts and Letters to stay at Notre Dame after graduation to further their research and gain additional teaching experience. Arts and Letters graduate students continue to distinguish themselves by securing external awards. Two highlights from the past year are a Charlotte W.

  • Spanish Society, 1348–1700
    Spanish Society, 1348–1700 Beginning with the Black Death in 1348 and extending through to the demise of Habsburg rule in 1700, this second edition of Spanish Society, 1348–1700 has been expanded to provide a wide and compelling explora- tion of Spain’s transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. Each chapter builds on the frst edition by offering new evidence of the changes in Spain’s social structure between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. Every part of society is examined, culminating in a fnal section that is entirely new to the second edition and presents the changing social practices of the period, particularly in response to the growing crises facing Spain as it moved into the seventeenth century. Also new to this edition is a consideration of the social meaning of culture, specifcally the presence of Hermetic themes and of magical elements in Golden Age literature and Cervantes’s Don Quijote. Through the extensive use of case studies, historical examples and literary extracts, Spanish Society is an ideal way for students to gain direct access to this captivating period. Teoflo F. Ruiz is Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. His previous publications include A King Travels: Festive Tradi- tions in Late Medieval and Early Modern Spain (2012), Spain, 1300–1469: Centuries of Crises (2007), Medieval Europe and the World (2005) and From Heaven to Earth: The Reordering of Castilian Society, 1150–1350 (2004).

How the individual case studies collected in this volume inform such a project and further research on religion, the senses, and the role of the senses in re- ligious encounter is a core concern of this introductory essay. We end by suggesting new directions for additional research for an integrated and systematic examination of how senses shape and are used in human encounters with the transcendent and the (human) religious Other. ౖ஥൰ൠಧ೶ஐഌ senses, taste, olfaction, smell, touch, visual, hearing, grammar, language Introduction In his Scented Ape, David Stoddart has argued for an integrative approach to the study of [1] smell, combing biology and anthropology, as he explored the functions of smell, ranging from practical communication regarding sexual readiness to the use of perfume to allure and incense to express worship of the divine. As such, his study shows that smell is an element in most forms of human and non-human interaction (Stoddart 1990). It is this communicative function, not merely of smell but of most of the senses, on which we intend to focus in this volume.

  • Preaching to the Masses: the Visual Presence of the Dominican Order in Valencia, 1350-1500
    PREACHING TO THE MASSES: THE VISUAL PRESENCE OF THE DOMINICAN ORDER IN VALENCIA, 1350-1500 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Taryn Chubb January 2013 © 2013 Taryn Chubb PREACHING TO THE MASSES: THE VISUAL PRESENCE OF THE DOMINICAN ORDER IN VALENCIA, 1350-1500 Taryn Chubb, Ph. D. Cornell University 2013 By the late fourteenth century, Iberian Dominicans had established convents throughout the Peninsula from which they set forth to fulfill their mission to preach. The friars were particularly active in the region of Valencia, where they were lead by a native Valencian, Vicente Ferrer. Vicente and his fellow friars were a visible presence throughout Iberia and beyond, preaching to prepare believers and unbelievers alike for what they believed was the imminent end of the world. During the early years of the fifteenth century, the frairs’ preaching and the texts they published brought the spiritual focus of the Dominican Order out of the convents and into the public eye. These works of art brought their words to life and the combination of words and images made the Domincans’ message even more effective. This study is a comprehensive analysis of the friars’ historical significance that brings historical, textual, and visual evidence together to reveal the ways in which the Dominicans, with Vicente Ferrer leading the way, made themselves and their ideas known in late medieval Valencia. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Taryn E.L. Chubb graduated with honors from Hood College in Frederick, Maryland in 2003, receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in Art and Spanish.
