Kansainvälinen konferenssi: Authorities in the Middle Ages.

SEEING, HEARING, READING AND BELIEVING
Authorities in the Middle Ages

International Conference
Helsinki, Finland
20–23 of September 2010

Call for Papers

The Latin word auctoritas means not only authority and influence, but
more generally opinion, encouragement, decree or example. The concept
thus resonates deeply in the study of social structures,
communication or religious culture, for instance. Who had auctoritas,
and how? How was influence built and maintained, how was it lost? How
was authority contested? What about model and precedent? 

Glossa - the society for medieval studies in Finland is arranging
with the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Sudies the multidisciplinary
conference SEEING, HEARING, READING AND BELIEVING. AUTHORITIES IN THE
MIDDLE AGES in Helsinki, 20-23 September 2010. The organisers seek
proposals for papers on the topic of authorities in the Middle Ages.
Themes include (but are not limited to) authority/-ies in politics,
military history, trade and communication, intellectual history, art
and literature as well as religious conformism, adaptation and
dissidence. We invite explorations of exercise of authority in
different spheres of life, as well as of medieval meditations on the
nature of authority, or of the authority of texts and traditions. The
conference welcomes researchers across all scholarly fields and
disciplines. 

Confirmed keynote speakers include Professor David Abulafia
(University of Cambridge), Professor Sverre Bagge (University of
Bergen) and Professor Albrecht Classen (University of Arizona). 

We welcome working papers from established researchers, doctoral
students and those working on their Master's thesis. Please send
proposals for individual papers of twenty minutes or for whole
sessions of three papers with contact details and a 200 word abstract
to Tuija Ainonen, at tuija.ainonen at helsinki.fi by 15 December 2009.
