Law, Imagination and Poetry: Using Poetry as a Means of Learning.

As a lecturer in legal theory, I often hear the complaint from students that reflexive law courses are rather vague (by which students mean abstract). They find it difficult to grasp the theoretical literature. At the same time, many students do acknowledge that in these courses they are ‘allowed to think’ and ‘allowed to have an opinion’. It is up to us as lecturers to show that these courses are relevant and to coach students to deal with the level of abstraction. To tackle the ‘double problem’ of vagueness and irrelevance, I conducted an experiment, inspired by James Boyd White, in which students were asked to report on a philosophical text by means of a poem, in which they had to project the essence of the text unto contemporary (world) politics. The experiment had a dual goal: I sought to challenge students to read a philosophical text differently with the aim of challenging students to think about the text differently, more critically, and analyse its relevance to contemporary problems in (world) politics and law, to discover their own position – their sovereign voice. In this publication you can find the poetry exercise and a link to the article.

Old English Poetry in Facsimile Project

The premise of the Old English Poetry in Facsimile project is simple: produce a comprehensive collection of open-access, scholarly and rigorous digital facsimile editions that present digital manuscript images, transcriptions and translations of Old English poetry all in one place, to better allow people to study and explore these works. To do so, the project takes advantage of the new Digital Mappa 2.0 platform, which allows editors to make links and annotations across individual moments on related images and texts, and users to open and view multiple items side by side. This project combines older editorial traditions with “bigger data” resources and research for more comprehensive lexical, dialectal and orthographic editorial readings. Editions on this site practice “restorative retention” – privileging the text as written over emendation wherever possible, with an emphasis on description rather than prescription – in an effort to better preserve and understand linguistic and poetic heterogeneity in early medieval England. Over 300 editions of Old English verse have been published, including examples of every genre: psalms, riddles, inscribed objects, charms, heroic verse, prayers, Boethian meters, wisdom poetry, marginal micro-texts, chronicle poems, homiletic verse, dialogues, and others.

Byzantium & Friends | 51. Byzantine poetry on its own terms, with Marc Lauxtermann Thursday Jun 03, 2021

A conversation with Marc Lauxtermann (University of Oxford) on how to read Byzantine poetry on its own terms and in its own context. We talk about how modern Romantic notions of poetry as well as the ancient meters of classical Greek have distorted the expectations that we place on Byzantine poetry, and then discuss the specific contexts that gave rise to poetry in Byzantine society. Who were the poets? How did poems accompany objects and events? The conversation is based on Marc's magisterial and highly recommended Byzantine Poetry from Pisides to Geometres: Texts and Contexts, 2 volumes (Vienna 2003 and 2019).

Maldwyn

The origins of this database can be traced back to the work of Elizabeth J. Louis Jones and Henry Lewis in their Index to the Poetry of the Manuscripts, published by University Wales Press in 1928. The work was subsequently expanded with funding from the Board of Celtic Studies, who sponsored the production of the Index to the Strict Meter Poetry of the Manuscripts, in 12 volume sets, to research institutions in 1978. The work resumed in 1987, under the sponsorship of the British Academy, and in partnership with the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies and The National Library. The field was extended to include every Welsh poem found in a manuscript written before 1830, in strict and free meter, whether it was attributed to an author or not. Search fields and print sources were added, and the data was converted into an electronic format. In 1991 the project came under the auspices of the National Library of Wales. Some work was carried out on the manuscripts to confirm that their contents were recorded in the database. The work of expanding the Index ended in 1995, and the adapting and correcting of data ended in 2000, but the work is still far from complete. In March 2021 it was neccessary to end the usual access to the Index website due to many security issues with the website. Until a long term solution to this problem is found, we will be making the data available here for you to download and conduct your own search. The data is available in the following formats: Maldwyn Data (Excel file) Copyright; Centre for Advanced Welsh & Celtic Studies.

The Pierre Kemp Collection

One of the most fascinating loners in twentieth-century Dutch poetry is Maastricht-born Pierre Kemp (1886-1967). In 1956 he was awarded the Constantijn Huygens Prize, followed in 1958 by the P.C. Hooft Prize. Maastricht University Library manages a large part of his personal estate. The Pierre Kemp Collection contains various types of objects, such as books (his personal library), letters, manuscripts, radio fragments, graphic work, a Liber Amicorum (a handwritten book of friends including graphic work by well-known artists), vinyl records, a red egg decorated by him with a poem in gold ink, a desk, and a record cabinet. Part of this collection has been placed in the library by the Pierre Kemp Foundation (Pierre Kemp Stichting), which aims to bring Kemp’s literary and visual heritage to the attention of a wide audience. As part of the national Connected Digital Heritage programme, the University Library aims to present the Pierre Kemp Collection to the widest possible audience in the most linked, open and enriched way possible. The Pierre Kemp collection has been made available (CC-BY license) in multiple representations: as presentation for humans via the website; as Linked Open Data in machine-readable JSON-LD format or SPARQL endpoint; as data set registration in the NDE datasetregister.

Disastrous News: Representing Regional Catastrophes in Poetry and the Press

The Regional Fictions Podcast is a series of podcasts stemming from the Redefining the Region project funded by the Dutch Research Council NWO at Radboud University (Project ID: VI.C.181.026; P.I. Prof. Marguérite Corporaal). In these podcasts, researchers bring listeners on a journey to discover lesser-known nineteenth-century regional books and media documents in conversation with fellow experts. Hosted by researchers who are part of the VICI project, each episode uncovers nineteenth-century regional literature and media and features an interview with fellow researchers as well as a reading of short extracts from the texts that are being discussed. The podcasts are aimed at researchers and students in the humanities who are interested in nineteenth-century regional identities and European regional or local-colour literature in transnational perspectives. Additional information on the Redefining the Region project can be found at https://www.ru.nl/en/research/research-projects/redefining-the-region In this episode, Sophie van Os talks with Prof. Simon Rennie (University of Exeter).
