What happens in your mind when you read or see Shakespeare performed? How can recent research on the mind illuminate Shakespeare’s depictions of it? In what sense can literary and historical ideas contribute to our general understanding of the mind?

History and the public: the legacy of David Cesarani 31 May 2016 David Cesarani’s death in 2015 deprived the historical profession of a noted and highly respected public historian. Focusing throughout his career on the history of modern Europe and of the Jewish experience within that history, Cesarani was not only a scholar in his own right but a notable interpreter of history for a broader audience. His career as a broadcaster and journalist linked past and present in ways that made history relevant and important to non-specialists. The programme for this evening will feature a discussion of his overall contribution to public debate and historical studies in Britain, as well as the launch of Cesarani’s last book on Anglo-Jewish history, Disraeli: The Novel Politician (Yale University Press). Panel participants include Sir Richard Evans (Cambridge), Jonathan Steinberg (Cambridge and Pennsylvania), Suzanne Bardgett (Imperial War Museum) and Bryan Cheyette (Reading).

‘Shakespeare: Metamorphosis’ – Curators’ Room

www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

2–3 June 2016 Recent debates in metaphysics on personal identity and material constitution have given rise to theories that appeal to a biological understanding of identity. So-called animalists claim that the puzzles of standard psychological theories of personal identity can be avoided by understanding humans as animals or organisms rather than as persons, and that the necessary and sufficient conditions of our identities over time are purely biological in character. This two-day conference considers whether the concept of ‘biological identity’ can serve the functions that metaphysicians attribute to it. Participants will consider the metaphysical motives for proposing biological conceptions of identity as well as recent research conducted within the philosophy of biology community.

Event highlights

Gendering Roman imperialism 7–8 June 2016 Standard debates on Roman imperialism are conducted more or less entirely in terms of male agency, male competition and male participation. Not only have women been marginalised in these narratives as just so much collateral damage – victims, captives, abandoned wives and mothers – but also there has been little engagement with gender history more widely. This conference will explore whether or not the Roman experience, both of Republican expansion and imperial rule, might be rewritten to take account of gendered roles and gendered experience. Speakers include Emily Hemelrijk (Amsterdam) and Alison Keith (Toronto), with Rebecca Flemming (Cambridge) and Jonathan Prag (Oxford) as commentators.

Sites of invention: Latin America and the global making of historical and anthropological knowledge LAGLOBAL Seminar @ ILAS 9–10 June 2016 There is strong evidence to suggest that from the 16th century forward the region now known as Latin America has served not merely as an object of Western knowledge but as a locus or site of knowledge production. This is particularly true of historical and anthropological knowledge. This two-day conference explores what happens to standard ‘Western’ genealogies of history and anthropology when the Latin American archive of knowledge production is duly considered.

Speakers include Serge Gruzinski (L’École des hautes études en sciences sociales), François Hartog (L’École des hautes études en sciences sociales), Elías Palti (Universidad Nacional de Quilmes) and Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra (Texas).

29 June–1 July 2016 The inaugural annual conference of the Refugee Law Initiative will explore the future of refugee law.

Recent years have seen refugee law doctrine moving in innovative new directions as the discipline reflects deeply on its relationship to the wider field of international law. At the same time, refugee protection faces renewed challenges on the ground in a number of regions, not least in the refugee and displacementrelated consequences of humanitarian crises such as Syria. This conference provides a dedicated annual forum for bringing together decisionmakers and practitioners, policymakers and influencers, academics and students to share and debate the latest research and cutting-edge developments in refugee law.

The Spanish Civil War and world literatures 11–12 July 2016 July 2016 marks the 80th anniversary of the military revolt in Spain and the start of the Spanish Civil War (1936–39).

Few 20th-century conflicts were as ideologically and emotionally charged. The consequences of a military victory resulted in 40 years of repressive rule in Spain and thousands of Spaniards displaced across Europe and the Americas. Internationally, writers and artists criticised the attack on democracy by military and fascist forces: Auden, Dos Passos, Ehrenburg, Sartre, Hemingway, Koestler, Lee, Malraux, Neruda, Orwell, and Vallejo, to name only a few.

This conference reviews the worldwide literary response to the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 2016. Thirty-six papers will be delivered by specialists from eight countries, including China and Israel.

13–15 June 2016 The Warburg Institute celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Aby Warburg with a conference dedicated to his work, legacy and promise. It will reclaim the centrality of Warburg’s thought and vision not only for the London Institute but for the world of international scholarship.

A large group of distinguished scholars will discuss the implications of his innovative and interdisciplinary work for art, memory, cultural transmission and cross-cultural tensions. The aim will be not only to illuminate the past, but also to reveal the potential of his writings for the debate about contemporary cultural differences.

Jacobsen Lecture 16 May 2016 Hannah Ginsborg Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Berkeley Professor Hannah Ginsborg combines work in the history of philosophy, especially Kant, with an interest in contemporary philosophy. Much of her published work has focused on Kant’s Critique of Judgment, arguing for its importance both to Kant’s own theory of cognitive judgment and to our present-day understanding of cognition. Professor Ginsborg’s current research project seeks to articulate and develop the notion of ‘primitive normativity’ – a notion drawn from her reading of Kant’s aesthetic theory – and to show how it can be used to address problems about rule-following, knowledge of language and grasp of concepts. A collection of her articles on Kant’s Critique of Judgment was published in 2015.

Tom Harrison’s research has focused on (among other themes) Greek religion, the Greek representation of foreign peoples and the history of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. The central concern of all his work to date, however, is with Herodotus, the father of history: how his Histories are to be understood, how best they can be used as a source for Greek or Near Eastern history, and the long history of scholarly and popular engagement with his work. He is currently engaged on two main projects: a book on Herodotus and his reception (especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries), and a study of the role of belief in ancient Greek religion.

Exhibition Shakespeare: Metamorphosis 14 April–17 September 2016, Senate House

Shakespeare: Metamorphosis 14 April–17 September 2016 Senate House To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, the University of London will mount its first major exhibition programme, Shakespeare: Metamorphosis, in Senate House, Bloomsbury, this summer.

Over the last four centuries, Shakespearean text and scholarship — as well as our perceptions of the man himself — have undergone continuous reinvention. Organised by Senate House Library and inspired by the famous ‘seven ages of man’ speech from As You Like It, Shakespeare: Metamorphosis traces this 400-year transformation by highlighting more than 30 rare texts that illustrate seven significant stages in that transformation.

An extensive events and activities programme runs alongside the exhibition, featuring talks from some of the world’s most esteemed Shakespeare scholars, performances from acclaimed actors

16

and a bespoke website offering a host of specially developed Shakespeare-based resources.

Sir Jonathan Bate, Provost of Worcester College and professor of English, University of Oxford, will deliver the opening keynote address, ‘Shakespeare 1616–2116’, on 15 April. Stanley Wells, professor emeritus, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, will deliver the closing keynote address, ‘The Genius of Shakespeare’, on 17 September. In between, nearly 20 talks will address a wide range of subjects, from Shakespeare in translation to Shakespeare’s London and Stratford, from collecting and editing Shakespeare to Shakespearean performance and the playwright’s place in our digital age. During special ‘Curators’ Room’ sessions, exhibition curators Richard Espley and Karen Attar will discuss the texts on display in the intimate setting of Senate House’s original Room 101.

The exhibition is free to enter on a library day pass. All events are free with the exception of the Curators’ Room sessions (£10, £8 concessions). For complete details and booking information, please visit the exhibition website at shakespeare.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk.

All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.

Hannah Thompson (Leverhulme Trust artist in residence, Senate House Library/ School of Advanced Study) | Immersive sound art installation/presentation.

This solo sound art installation, with live performance, marks the mid-point in the first residency of this kind at Senate House Library. The event begins with an immersive sound installation drop-in from 16:00 designed to implant and displace the listener, juxtaposing location and sound origination within the context of the Library as the sound source. A presentation of the work carried out so far takes place from 18:15 to 19:15 followed by questions/answers until 19:30. Afterwards, a collaborative event inspired by the residency will take place at The Horse Hospital, The Colonnade, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 1JD (www. thehorsehospital.com) from 19:30.

CFP deadline: 1 May 2016 The Centre for Metropolitan History at the School of Advanced Study’s Institute of Historical Research is a leading hub for the study of urban history and key to Cities@SAS, a new initiative which aims to bring together researchers who work on cities. The first postgraduate conference on 4 July at Senate House, features leading scholars and a keynote from Professor Richard Rodger (University of Edinburgh) on the state of the discipline – its obstacles, opportunities and future. We welcome proposals for individual 15-minute papers, or panels of four papers.

Themes or topics of modern urban studies, defined loosely as 1750–present, from any geographic region, and from any discipline, are encouraged. Subjects could include: urban government and governance; civil society and civic culture; space, place and urban identity; writing and representing the city; the history of emotions and sensing the city; processes of urbanisation; urban sociology, ethnology, and anthropology; migration and migrant communities; race, ethnicity, and belonging; sex and sexuality in the city. There will be a £10 registration fee, which includes lunch and an evening reception. Non-postgraduates are welcome and encouraged to attend. A limited number of bursaries are available for travel and registration for unfunded postgraduate researchers.

Please submit all abstracts of no more than 250 words to Dr Tom Hulme, tom.hulme@sas.ac.uk, by 1 May 2016. For bursaries, speakers whose proposals have been accepted should also contact Dr Tom Hulme.

Oulipo and the Second World War 16–17 September 2016 CFP deadline: 5 May 2016 How is it possible to return to fiction and literature after the Second World War? This question is commonly addressed through testimonial literature, and in a roundabout way via the ‘theatre of the absurd’ or Samuel Beckett’s work, for example. It is more rarely addressed

Please send 300 word proposals along with short 50–100 word bio-bibliographies to philippe.roussin@mod-langs.ox.ac.uk or dominic.glynn@sas.ac.uk. Papers may be given in French or English.

Cities and disasters: urban adaptability and resilience in history 3–4 November 2016 CFP deadline: 27 May 2016 The Centre for Metropolitan History and the National Institutes for the Humanities in Japan (NIHJ), will use this conference to explore how cities across time and geographical regions have experienced, and been shaped by, natural disasters and other ‘shocks’. The scope of the conference is intended to be broad in terms of period and place. Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited. Cross-cutting questions that might be explored include: What have been the responses of cities and their inhabitants to natural disasters? How have individuals used different cultural forms to explain and understand the effects of disasters? How adaptable have cities and their populations been, and what does this mean for our understanding of ‘recovery’ as a phase in urban and wider economic development and for 69

through the literary output of Oulipo. Georges Perec’s work certainly appeared early on to be marked by the camps and the Shoah, but this trait was considered specific to Perec, and in no way characteristic of the Oulipo. However, more recently, in Roubaud’s work for instance, texts (La Dernière Balle perdue, Parc Sauvage) or passages of the memory undertaking in prose beginning with the ‘great fire of London’, have brought into focus how, coming from a family with strong ties to the Resistance, he may have been marked by the war, and in particular by the episode of the Liberation during which the camp survivors returned – including François Le Lionnais. And Jean Lescure and Noël Arnaud’s fight against the occupier, in the press and literally, is well-known. We invite reflections on the connections between the literary production of the Oulipo and the Second World War, and analyses of singular texts that engage with this issue.

Cities@SAS: new researchers in modern urban history

Calls for papers

Calls for papers

Calls for papers the sustainability of cities as a mode of social, political and economic organisation? To what extent have survival or preventative strategies been implemented as part of coherent visions of how cities should function, and how has this affected civic and communal values? How do we characterise the cultural and intellectual dimensions of urban resilience historically and today? How have these been affected by major changes, such as those brought by the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution/modern urbanisation?

Please submit abstracts of 200 words maximum and a short (half page) CV to ihr.cmh@sas.ac.uk, by 27 May 2016.

Emigration from Nazi-occupied Europe to British dominions, colonies and overseas territories after 1933 Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies triennial conference 13–15 September 2017 CFP deadline: 15 September 2016 The forced emigration westward from Germany, the Saarland, Austria and Czechoslovakia caused by the Nazi seizure of power in central Europe, has been extensively analysed. But alternative routes and destinations have now been identified. For example, in Going East – Going South, Margit Franz and Heimo Halbrainer propose a ‘new map of emigration’ from Austria to Asia or Africa. The conference will develop this ‘new map’ further by focusing on the emigration to territories controlled by the then British Empire. We welcome contributions that address these key areas: networks, relief and bureaucracy; cultural and intellectual transfer; emigrants in the commercial, industrial and entrepreneurial fields; emigrants in the arts, sciences and universities; emigrants in the press, politics and public life; emigrants in the performing arts, music and the theatre; the development of a refugee social and religious culture overseas; the everyday life of refugees in overseas exile; the status of refugees between colonisers and colonised, including the postcolonial perspective of exchanges/ communication between the centre and the periphery; strategies of integration and 70

re-migration. Methodological or theoretical papers relating to recent approaches in exile studies, such as hybridity, acculturation or identity, are also welcome.

300-word abstracts and a short CV should be sent to abgrenville@blueyonder.co.uk or swen.steinberg@ tu-dresden.de.

Urban belonging: history and the power of place 13–14 January 2017 CFP deadline: 30 September 2016 There is a paradox at the heart of the city. On one hand, the ‘urban’ has been conceived as a space where strangers and the rootless can interact and congregate, freed from the bounded constraints of rural communities. But historically cities have also generated new forms of belonging, community and identity – from the city-states of Ancient Greece or Rome to medieval and early modern guilds and parishes, to ethnic ‘ghettoes’ or ‘gaybourhoods’. This international conference seeks to connect these multiple histories, and invite 20-minute papers on the following: What forms of belonging have cities made possible, and how have these changed across time and place? How has belonging been articulated in political discourse, cultural ritual and spatial practice? In what ways do ‘modern’ manifestations of urban belonging and identity differ from ‘pre’ and ‘early modern’ forms? To what extent do forms of urban belonging reflect the workings of categories such as gender, class, nationality, race and sexuality? How have ideologues or organisations negotiated or rejected the challenges of integrating new communities or ‘outsiders’? How have those deemed ‘foreigners’ or ‘outsiders’ responded to attempts to keep them out of the city? As bounded cities of the past give way to globalised urban agglomerations in the present, have old forms of urban belonging disappeared?

Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words to Dr Tom Hulme, tom.hulme@sas.ac.uk, by 30 September 2016. A limited number of bursaries are available for postgraduate and ECR travel and registration (within 3 years of PhD and not-in-post).

Following abstract-acceptance, speakers should contact Dr Tom Hulme.

This general training is complemented by a set of research methodologies courses for students in social science disciplines, and in the software and management information tools required to enable students to complete their research effectively.

‘The School’s extensive and varied range of training programmes are designed to meet the needs of 21st-century researchers, offering programmes which enable scholars in the humanities to develop their skills and pursue their studies to maximum effect.’

Rachel Sutton, Registrar

Training in aspects of history, for instance, is extensive, notably in the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), which offers a comprehensive programme of short courses in research skills for historians. Taking advantage of the unparalleled availability of historical expertise in the University of London, and the wealth of archival materials in and around the capital, the Institute’s long-established and highly successful courses are widely recognised as the best means of developing and extending both essential and more specialised research skills. The IHR training programme is primarily aimed at postgraduate historians, but also welcomes established historians and independent researchers and writers of all sorts. Further historical skills courses run by The Warburg Institute include classes in medieval and Renaissance Latin for historians, and a programme of training in resources and techniques (jointly with the University of Warwick), which provides specialist research training for doctoral students working on Renaissance and early modern subjects in a range of disciplines. The London Palaeography Summer School run by the Institute of English Studies provides training in that key skill.

Extensive training for students of cultures and literatures is offered by the Institute of Modern Languages Research, whose

well-established and popular programme, comprising a series of Saturday workshops, is offered to any postgraduate student working in modern languages or a related discipline (for instance, film, or art history).

Most of the School’s training is available to postgraduate students across the UK, much of it free of charge. Details of all the research training courses provided are available from our website: www.sas.ac.uk/supportresearch/research-training

Online research training

In addition to the face-to-face training we offer, the School’s Postgraduate Online Research Training (PORT) website provides free online resources including tutorials, handbooks, and multimedia. PORT complements postgraduate study, providing training packages that can be accessed anywhere, at any time, and be undertaken at any pace.

It provides the building blocks for humanities research generally, as well as in particular humanities disciplines and specific topics.

Designed to meet the needs of 21st-century researchers, PORT offers specific skills-based programmes as well as more general guidance. For further information, please visit port.sas.ac.uk.

If you would like to receive a printed copy of our research training and skills handbook, or would like any guidance, please contact us:

www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

The School’s programme of personal development and transferable skills training is available in the form of weekly workshops, commencing in the autumn.

Making the most of the expertise available in the School and the University of London, the institutes between them also provide well-established disciplinespecific research training in core humanities disciplines.
