On Thursday 2 June, the Library will be providing the venue for a conference organised by Dr Anke Bernau and Dr James Paz.
This one-day conference will consider different ways in which the term ‘craft’ helps us to think through and articulate our approach to the medieval and early modern sources (in a range of media) that we work with. These, in turn, help us to think about the diverse possible manifestations and significations of the term ‘craft’ in premodern culture.
Keynote speakers:
Catherine E. Karkov (Leeds): ‘The Craft of Concealment’
Sarah Salih (King’s College, London): ‘Wondrous Pagan Crafts’
Speakers (University of Manchester):
Anke Bernau: ‘The Artificial Curiosity of Craft’
Catherine Casson: ‘Crafting Reputation: Strategies for Economic Success in English Medieval Towns’
Irene O’Daly: ‘Crafting Prayer: Rylands Latin MS 18 (Arbor Caritatis et Misericordiae) and the Art of Salvation’
James Paz: ‘The Craft of Wayland the Smith: Technology and Magic, Artifice and Deception’
Elaine Tierney: ‘Crafting the Ephemeral City: Sheds in Early Modern London’
Registration will open March 2016 and close May 7th 2016.
The programme will run between 10am-5pm.
