  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.

  The medieval horse

  International medieval congress 2018

  Palfreys and rounceys, hackneys and packhorses, warhorses and coursers, not to mention the mysterious “dung mare” – they were all part of everyday life in the Middle Ages. Every cleric and monk, no matter how immersed in his devotional routine and books he would be, every nun, no matter how reclusive her life, every peasant, no matter how poor his household, would have some experience of horses. To the medieval people, horses were as habitual as cars in the modern times. Besides, there was the daily co-existence with horses to which many representatives of the gentry and nobility – both male and female – were exposed, which far exceeds the experience of most amateur riders today.

  Les écritures médiévales et les règles

  Call For Paper, Leeds, 2012

  Apices et l'IRHT patronent des sessions au dix-neuvième congrès international de Leeds (19th International Medieval Congress, 9-12 juillet 2012), dont le thème pour cette année est « Rules to Follow (or Not) : Règles à suivre (ou pas) ». L'écriture médiévale faisant partie du processus de communication interpersonnelle devait nécessairement suivre des règles assurant la lisibilité et la compréhension des textes par les acteurs de la communication. Ces sessions étudieront les écritures médiévales et les règles.
