SUMMARY:Colloquium - Consuming Ecologies: Environment and Society in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE \nColloquium – Consuming Ecologies: Environment and Society in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages \n29 March 2025 | 9am-6pm | A17 Julis Romo Rabinowitz Building and Zoom \nRegistration for in-person attendance \nRegistration for Zoom \nThis one-day workshop aims to investigate late antique and early medieval ecologies as unfolding socio-environmental formations. Recent scholarship has highlighted some of the messy ecological entanglements that gave root to political ideologies and homegrown squashes across the Mediterranean world—feeding hairy pigs alongside persistent imageries. Digging deeper into the matter of ecologies\, this workshop explores the emergence of socio-environmental assemblages in the past through the prism of consumption. The undetermined precarity of ecological forms that characterise the present is not merely a feature of capitalist modernity. It is indebted to the longue durée entanglement of individuals and communities with non-human forms of life. The colloquium therefore poses the question of how different forms\, materialities\, commitments\, and ideologies of consumption in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages endangered ‘consuming ecologies’: that is\, socio-environmental formations emergent out of human appetites that simultaneously swallowed human and non-human labour\, knowledge\, and lives. What lifeways\, spaces\, and practices arose as a result of living in devouring formations\, co-created by people\, non-human animals\, climatic events\, things\, states\, plants\, and geological forces? \nSince the concept of ecologies asks us to bring together evidence traditionally studied by different disciplines\, the workshops will gather scholars working in different fields (history\, archaeology\, palynology\, literature\, papyrology etc). Our goal is to facilitate conversation about ecologies and consumption across disciplinary\, temporal\, and geographical boundaries. Each speaker is therefore invited to present a case study of their choice drawn from around the late antique and early medieval world that they consider to have purchase on the concept of consuming ecologies. \nMore Information on the EHL website. \nThe Environmental History Lab is supported by a David A. Gardner ’69 Magic Grant from the Humanities Council. The Colloquium is co-sponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies\, the Center for Collaborative History\, the Department of Classics\, the Committee for the Study of Late Antiquity\, and the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies.

SUMMARY:The Devil of Details: Titivillus\, from Yesterday’s Monks to Today’s Dungeons & Dragons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Medieval Studies Faber Lecture with Jan Ziolkowski (Harvard University). \nA reception in the Weickart Atrium will follow the lecture.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nFrom medieval Europe to the modern West\, the demon Titivillus has been famous for identifying and collecting slips and sins in song\, speech\, and writing. This talk follows him from his origins around 1200 on\, and investigates the meanings of his name\, diffusion of awareness of him through preaching and painting\, interplay between orality and literacy in stories about him\, issues of gender and blackness that sometimes surrounded him\, and what the Devil has meant across time. Thanks to today’s dominance of English\, Titivillus is regarded as especially particular to medieval England\, but he became commonplace far beyond the Continent and survived past the Middle Ages to appear in Rabelais\, the earliest Slovak literature\, Anatole France\, Herman Melville\, and W. H. Auden\, before finally having a novel devoted to him in 1953. He remains unforgotten\, a curio beloved among calligraphers and role-play gamers. \nJan Ziolkowski graduated from Princeton and received his PhD from the University of Cambridge. He is Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin at Harvard University\, where he joined the faculty in 1981. He has concentrated his research and teaching on the literature of the Middle Ages. His special focuses have included the classical tradition\, grammar and rhetoric\, interaction between folk and learned literature\, and Germanic epic in Latin. Lately he has pursued broad interests in medieval revivalism down to the present day. From 2007 to 2020 he directed Dumbarton Oaks in DC and founded the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library.
