SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Haptic Virtuality: Touching Illuminated Manuscripts of the Roman de la Rose and the Faits des Romains
DESCRIPTION:In the second volume of her groundbreaking Touching Parchment (2024)\, Kathryn M. Rudy radically hypothesizes the professional reciter of texts\, the “prelector\,” as a dramatic and tactile mediator between secular manuscript and medieval audience. Many of the traces of physical interactions left on illuminations in (especially “courtly”) books can\, according to Rudy\, be attributed to this figure\, whose practices are otherwise minimally attested in the documentary record. Exploring the implications of this hypothesis\, my talk examines copies of two widely transmitted texts of late medieval French literature: the Roman de la Rose and the Faits des Romains. These manuscripts display numerous signs of readerly touching. I argue that the (professional?) reader’s touch activated or actualized the latent ideological potential of these texts\, whether in terms of the ethics of “courtly love” in the Rose or the politics of empire in the Faits. I propose the concept of haptic virtuality – a nod to film theorist Laura U. Marks’ “haptic visuality” – to account for how touch was a mode of active reading with social\, ethical\, and political ramifications.\n\nHenry Ravenhall is a specialist in medieval French literature and manuscript culture and retains an active interest in medieval Occitan language\, narrative\, and lyric. Broadly speaking\, he is interested in approaches\, both theoretical and empirical\, that rethink medieval texts in relation to manuscript materiality. I'm keen to develop methodologies that make the most of the explosion of digitized manuscripts online\, such as my work on textile curtains in medieval French books.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Origin of the solar system: Insight from space missions and fluid dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Giant planets in our solar system hold key insights into our origin\, as they were the first to condense from the protoplanetary disk. A crucial aspect of the investigation is measuring their atmospheric composition—particularly that of Jupiter\, Saturn\, Uranus\, and Neptune. The Juno spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter for over six years\, providing valuable data that we continue to decipher. The challenge lies in understanding the interplay between thermodynamics and fluid dynamics\, where the fluid motions are shaped by condensation and latent heat release. In this talk\, I will introduce findings from space missions\, advancements in simulating multi-phase flows in a planetary context\, and the current theory of the origin of the solar system.\n\nContact:  Silas Alben
