SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Comparative Diplomatics - Medieval Hebrew documents
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next session of Comparative Diplomatics on Monday\, March 16 (5-6:30pm\, JRR 397) with Eve Krakowski who will walk us through some Jewish legal documents. \nTo receive the image(s)\, edition(s)\, and translation(s) of the document(s) to be discussed\, sign up here. We look forward to seeing you there! \nComparative Diplomatics is an exploratory workshop on documents in late antiquity and the middle ages with occasional forays into the modern era\, as distinct from narrative and normative long-form texts. Its goal is twofold: to stimulate the production of new translations of late antique and medieval documentary sources that can be used in the classroom\, and/or harvest some of the translations already being made; and to bring languages\, subfields and approaches into contact in order to clarify methodological questions. \nEach presenter will translate an unpublished document or retranslate a previously published document that needs fresh examination\, and a few days ahead of time\, provide the group with an edition\, a translation and an image of the original.

SUMMARY:The Felon and the Villain: Middle English literature and felony procedure
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP HERE. Lunch will be provided.  \nThe Making of Felony Procedure in Middle English Literature is about how literature made felony in late medieval England. To this day\, felony is the crime of which all other crimes are lesser versions—the offense for which you forfeit a good life. But at its medieval beginnings\, legal theorists wanted very little to do with it. Crown justices found crime “boring and distasteful\,” and were happy to let much of felony’s prosecution fall to the local community. Mostly untrained in legal concepts\, these communities turned to cultural ones\, archived in sermons they heard\, plays they had seen\, and poetry they knew. In turn\, felony and its procedure—from collecting evidence to evaluating blameworthiness—became a space for writers to work out their own concerns about guilt\, social harm\, and its repair. Each chapter steps through a stage of felony procedure\, reading literary sources with legal records to argue that\, at its beginnings\, felony was a concept descended mutually from legal and literary concepts\, a shared custody that has continued to the present. \n\nElise Wang is an assistant professor in the Department of English\, Comparative Literature\, and Linguistics at California State University\, Fullerton (CSUF).  Wang’s field is medieval law and literature\, and her work investigates how “old” ideas of guilt and morality can expand our understanding of our contemporary world. \nShe has appeared on The Daily Show\, contributed to documentaries for CBS and Netflix\, delivered a TEDx talk\, and has given over a dozen invited talks and keynotes. Wang is the author of The Making of Felony Procedure in Middle English Literature (Oxford University Press\, 2024)\, which traces the medieval emergence of felony procedure and demonstrates how its beginnings still shape how we understand serious crime today. \nWang has also published articles about medieval death investigations\, the ethics of witnessing violence in both the medieval and modern context\, and trauma narratives. Before CSUF\, she taught at Duke University and in New Jersey correctional facilities. She received her PhD from Princeton University\, before which she studied at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. \nWang is a 2024-2026 Andrew Carnegie Fellow\, an award which provides philanthropic support for scholarship in the humanities and social sciences that addresses important and enduring issues confronting our society.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “Oath and Law: Legal Language in Early Imperial and Medieval China”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Trenton W. Wilson (East Asian Studies) will present our first lunchtime talk of the semester on Tuesday\, February 21. \nIn this presentation\, Wilson will examine the language of interdiction in early Chinese law “codes” with an eye to the persistence of oath language—and its eventual disappearance. Oath language\, he argues\, provided a template for articulating how laws bind\, the relationship between emperor and subject\, and cultural practices for disseminating law throughout the empire. This will be presented as a work in progress\, criticisms\, readings suggestions\, and comparative perspectives are welcome. \nPlease RSVP for this event here. \nBook exhibit in the history reading room \nAlain St. Pierre and the Princeton University Library invite the Medieval Studies community to the History reading room in Firestone Library (Floor A: turn left out of the main staircase) on colloquium days to view recently acquired titles in all subject areas of Medieval Studies. The books will be on display from Monday (February 20) through Wednesday (February 22). Come browse!
