Crisis and Resilience in Medieval Africa - Navigating Political, Environmental, and Cultural Upheaval Call for Papers International Medieval Congress, Leeds, UK 1–4 July 2024 The International Medieval Congress in Leeds for 2024 has announced “Crisis” as its special thematic strand. Building on last year's theme of “African Networks and Entanglements”, we invite contributions for a series of sessions titled “Crisis and Resilience in Medieval Africa”. We aim to investigate how diverse African realms and agents — from the Atlantic and West Africa to the Southern Mediterranean, the Horn of Africa, and the Western Indian Ocean — navigated various crises between 300 and 1600 CE. We encourage papers delve into the role of specific African realms, political entities, or agents at micro-, meso-, and macro level, and are interested in research that centers political, economic, religious, cultural, intellectual, artistic, or diplomatic responses. We welcome explorations of the following questions, among others: • How did medieval kingdoms and societies respond to crises? What mechanisms of resilience were in place? • How were crises represented and understood? Were there unique religious or philosophical frameworks for understanding and negotiating crises? • What were the economic consequences of crises? Did they lead to shifts in trade networks or economic systems? • Crisis and the environment: How did environmental crises like drought, famine, epidemics, or natural disasters affect political and social structures? • How did crises catalyze or disrupt religious and cultural interactions within different African realms and regions, as well as with the larger Afro-Eurasian world? We encourage abstracts from scholars at all career stages and from various research backgrounds, including history, art history, archaeology, philology, and religious studies. Travel bursaries are available to support the attendance of early career researchers, independent scholars, and those working outside of North American/European academe. Abstracts of up to 100 words (an additional longer abstract of up to 300 words for the consideration of the ¬¬¬session organisers is optional) should be sent to the dedicated email account AfricanMiddleAges@gmail.com by Wednesday, 20th of September 2023. Please also include your preferred paper title, A-V and bursary requirements, 4 keywords and your full contact details (name, title, affiliation, postal address, telephone number, email address).

INTERAÇÕES, 2011

RESUMO A bíblia mantém com a teologia longa tradição de encontros e desencontros. Num lance de olhos, percorremos as principais figuras dessa relação nas últimas décadas. Em primeiro momento, a bíblia ofereceu à teologia elementos para esta provar suas teses. Cumpria papel de submissa à teologia. Depois, desenvolveu métodos específicos, adquirindo própria autonomia. Então ambas mantiveram caminhos paralelos. Pouco a pouco, conseguiram articular os próprios métodos e pesquisas. E finalmente mostramos a dupla situação entre elas. Guardam autonomia de métodos e, no entanto, dialogam entre si com mútuo enriquecimento. E as ciências da religião aprendem de tal périplo histórico e da atual situação de diálogo. Pois, certos aspectos do impacto da bíblia sobre a teologia se assemelham ao das ciências da religião sobre a fé e vice-versa. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Teologia. Bíblia. Ciências da Religião. ABSTRACT The Bible maintains with theology a long tradition of agreements and disagreements. In this paper, we walked through the main figures of this relationship in recent decades. First, Bible offered elements to prove thesis for theology. So it developed a submissive role to theology. After, bible’s studies developed specific methods and acquired autonomy. Then, both remained in parallel paths. Little by little Bible’s studies and theology created their own researchs and methods. Finally, we show the situation between both of them. They retain autonomy of methods and, however, talks one another with mutual enrichment. And the sciences of religion learn with this historic tour and with the current situation of dialogue. Certain aspects of the Bible impact on theology are like those of the sciences of religion on faith and vice versa. KEYWORDS: Theology. Bible. Sciences of Religion.

Auf dem Weg zu einer Idee, 2024

Ausgehend von Hans-Jörg Rheinbergers Definition von Experimenten und Experimentalsystemen untersucht dieser Text den experimentellen Charakter von Performancekunst. Anhand von vier Fallstudien aus unterschiedlichen historischen und sozio-politischen Kontexten (Ana Mendieta, Jan Mlčoch, Ewa Partum und Christoph Studer-Harper) untersuche ich, welche ästhetischen Entscheidungen zur Überschreitung des Alten (eine Kerneigenschaft des Experiments) führen und welche Strategien die Künstler:innen einsetzen, um die mit Experimenten einhergehenden Gefahren zu kontrollieren.

Transgendered and transexual individuals greatly disturb most God-fearing Christians, who believe that everything other than 'conventional' marital sex is a mortal sin. The ancient Hawaiians were not as tightly strung, in their graceful understanding that all human beings possess a complete Tao of male and female qualities within themselves. 'Mahu' is a Hawaiian term that describes a man who has chosen to live as a woman and in the ancient (pre-missionary) culture, such individuals were respected and regarded as important members of the community. (The image shown is that of a Hawaiian transgender hula group, taken from the excellent 2001 Kathryn Xian and Brent Anbe documentary on traditional Hawaiian sexual attitudes).
