    Illness as Metaphor in the Latin Middle Ages

    Leeds International Medieval Congress 2021

    The session seeks to provide a forum for scholars to reflect on the variation and functions of metaphors of illness in the Latin writing of the Middle Ages. We encourage papers that investigate how the imagery of morbus, pestilentia, gangraena etc. structured individual experience and how it shaped self-knowledge and practices of communities. We invite original contributions that critically examine the role that Latin metaphors of illness played in medieval discourse as a tool of explaining reality and as a rhetorical device used to impose specific world views.

    "Discite sanari". Remedies to amorous passion from Antiquity to the 18th century

    De Sappho à Proust, le motif de la maladie d’amour est probablement l’un des topoi les plus importants de la littérature occidentale et a fait l’objet de nombreux travaux spécifiques. À l’occasion de ce colloque, nous souhaitons mettre en lumière un aspect de la topique bien moins étudié par la critique, celui des remèdes à l’amour tel qu’il est travaillé et traité dans les textes littéraires et scientifiques, de l’Antiquité à l’âge classique.
