Sztuki pamięci
Antologia przekładów kilkudziesięciu tekstów dotyczących rozmaitych aspektów badań nad pamięcią. Redaktorzy i tłumacze dobrali je w taki sposób, by publikacja w pełni odzwierciedlała różnorodność zagadnień podejmowanych w ramach memory studies.
Moving Back in Memory Studies
First published in German in 1992 (by Beck in Munich), Jan Assmann’s Das kulturelle Gedächtnis: Schrift, Erinnerung und politische Identität in frühen Hochkulturen has now been translated into English from a 2007 German revision of the original edition. The jacket blurbs hail it as ‘an absolute classic’, ‘a genuine tour-de-force’ that ‘will surely transform discourse in Anglophone scholarship’. There is no doubting the first two judgements, but t…
Virtue, Intention and the Mind’s Eye in Troilus and Criseyde
Intention, sensation et mémoire dans l’esthétique médiévale
La présente étude insiste sur trois aspects de l’expérience sensorielle telle que les penseurs médiévaux l’ont entendue. Premièrement, toute perception ou expérience sensorielle implique des désirs orientés, appelés intentiones ou voluntates dans la terminologie augustinienne ; ce sont les mouvements naturels de l’âme, non des « états » psychiques, mais bien plutôt des énergies dirigées vers un objectif. En second lieu, les êtres humains pensent …
Mind Matters
Marcia Colish’s influential scholarship is well honoured by this collection of thirteen essays. Her The Mirror of Language (1968 and 1983; rev. ante, lxxxvi [1971], 161–2) profoundly influenced scholarship on medieval language theory, not only among historians but among students of medieval literatures and semiology. Her Medieval Foundations of the Western Intellectual Tradition, 400–1400 (1997; rev. ante, cxiv [1999], 664–5) presented a magister…
The Book of Memory
Mary Carruthers's classic study of the training and uses of memory for a variety of purposes in European cultures during the Middle Ages has fundamentally changed the way scholars understand medieval culture. This fully revised and updated second edition considers afresh all the material and conclusions of the first. While responding to new directions in research inspired by the original, this new edition devotes much more attention to the role o…
Sweetness
On Affliction and Reading, Weeping and Argument
This essay explores a fundamental connection among perception, sensation, and rational process in a selection of works within the long monastic tradition known as desert spirituality. Its focus is the embedding of intellectual judgment within bodily experience, expressed as a connection of affliction to reading andweeping to rational argument. Monastic spirituality cultivated intense sensation as an instrument of adequate judgment, and tears as p…
The Art of Memory and the Art of Page Layout in the Middle Ages
Since the theme of this issue is 'back to the future,' especially to the ways in which information formats before the age of printing anticipate and perhaps even may give some guidance to principles of organization and cognitive layouts for the 'new' science of information design, I am going to focus in my presentation on the design of memory storage, as it was taught and practiced in the Middle Ages. It is important to recognize that 'memory-art…

Historical Anthropology of the Middle Ages.
Aaron Gurevich has long been considered one of the world's leading medievalists and a pioneer in the field of historical anthropology. This book brings together eleven of his most important essays many difficult to find and some never before available in English. Gurevich's writing, while informed by the history of mentalities as practiced by the French school of Le Goff and Duby, reflects a broader view of European culture outside France. He rej…
