Manuscripts and Medieval Song: Inscription, Performance, Context, ed. Helen Deeming and Elizabeth Eva Leach
This very strong collection of essays will rightly make its mark in the flourishing world of medieval manuscript studies. Book history has at last won through to the trendy centre stage—transformed, at least partly by the vastly increased availability of digital resources, from a practice associated with dusty archival solitude to one that encourages collective excitement in parchment. For musicologists, especially medieval ones, trendiness is no…

Afterwords: Forms of Death
Responding to this volume on genre, and especially to the Introduction, “Forms-of-life”, this Afterword contemplates genre as it is uttered through forms of semantic death: truisms, clichés, and dead metaphors. Taking its cue from Jacques Derrida’s essay “Living On,” from Bakhtin on speech genres, and Samuel Beckett’s bilingual “La Fin/The End,” it turns to love lyric writing by the English poet John Gower and his older contemporary Guillaume de …

Fuzziness and Perceptions of Language in the Middle Ages
This article on fuzziness in medieval language use is the second part of a three-part contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium "Fuzzy Studies: On the Consequence of Blur." Each part corresponds broadly to Clifford Geertz's trifold instances of blur as involving "face-to-face interaction" ("life as game"), "collective intensities" ("life as stage"), and "imaginative forms" ("life as text"). Part 2 discusses "collective intensities" by means …
Rethinking Medieval Translation: Ethics, Politics, Theory
Introduction: Genres of Blur
Ever since Clifford Geertz urged the "blurring of genres" in the social sciences, many scholars have considered the crossing of disciplinary boundaries a healthy alternative to rigidly maintaining them. But what precisely does the metaphor of "blurring" imply? By unpacking the varieties of visual experiences that are normally grouped under this rubric, this essay seeks to provide some precision to our understanding of the implications of fuzzines…

Repetition and Variation in the Thirteenth-Century Refrain
Is there an answer to the question ‘what is a refrain?’ Traditionally, scholars of thirteenth-century French song begin their reply by noting that a refrain is the characteristic formal feature of a rondeau, that is, an element which is repeated, usually with a separate half-repetition, in alternation with a strophic ‘respond’: Aaliz main se leva, bon jor ait qui mon cuer a! Biau se vesti et para, desoz l'aunoi. Bon jor ait qui mon cuer a n'est p…
