TORCH Newsletter Hilary Term

Weeks 7 & 8 (26th Feb – 11th Mar 2017)

Earlier this term, TORCH held its Annual Headline Series launch event looking at the question ‘What Does Diversity Mean to Me?’ We were joined by a distinguished panel of experts from across the Humanities and the cultural and political sectors as well as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford Professor Louise Richardson. The event was filmed and we are delighted to say the video is now live and fully signed in British Sign Language. You can watch it here: http://torch.ox.ac.uk/what-does-diversity-mean-to-me

In other news and continuing with this year’s Headline Series theme ‘Humanities & Identities’, TORCH will be at this year’s ‘Women Celebrating Women – Strength in Diversity’ event which is part of this year’s Oxford International Women’s Festival. We will also be present at next week’s LiveFRIDAY: Supersonic at the Ashmolean Museum.

Call for Papers: Gendering Internationalism — Gendering Jewish Internationalism

Organised by Dr. Jaclyn Granick and Professor Abigail Green, University of Oxford

This workshop has two aims: first, to bring considerations of gender into international history; second, to reconceptualise international Jewish history as having a gendered dimension.

The workshop will explore how hierarchical relations between men and women, social and cultural constructions of masculinity/femininity, organizational structures and asymmetries, division of labor along gender lines, and relationships among activists vary according to certain gender dynamics, and how they interacted with a variety of internationalist commitments, ideologies, and causes. This could include secularism, spirituality, and religious commitments; liberalism and the habits of diasporic belonging; or socialism/Bundism, pacifism, nationalism/Zionism, trafficking, migration/refugees, and communism.

The workshop is expected to result in a peer-reviewed publication and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the British Academy, and the Women in the Humanities programme of The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities (TORCH).

Call for Papers: Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities

Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities (DCDC) is the conference of collaboration between the archive, library, museum and academic sectors. Now in its fifth year, DCDC provides a platform for colleagues to come together in joint conversation, looking beyond their own specialisms to forge new partnerships and enhance the social, cultural and economic impact of our unique collections.

In today’s uncertain political and economic climate the ability to demonstrate why heritage and culture matter – and to whom - has never been more important or relevant. The ways in which we gather, measure and present evidence of cultural value and impact has attracted increasing attention in recent years, as emphasis has led to a stronger focus on the experience of individuals and of communities.

Archives, libraries, museums and heritage organisations across the UK and further afield have played a leading role in this movement. They have actively looked to examine, capture and measure the wider social, cultural and economic impact of their collections, and to engage more effectively with a wider variety of audiences. Work in this area continues to evolve, as does the need for new and better ways of evidencing value and impact through continuing research and the effective sharing of experiences within and between sectors.

DCDC17 will consider how, by working collaboratively through networks of inter and crossdisciplinary initiatives, we can continue to improve and develop methodologies in order to build a strong evidence base to demonstrate the cultural value of collections and their contribution to the creative economy.

DCDC17 welcomes proposals on collaborative projects involving library, archive, museum, heritage and cultural sectors in partnership with communities, scholars, education and funders.

History, Vision, Ambition

The 9th February witnessed the first in a series of exciting new interdisciplinary lectures which aim to celebrate the collaborative partnership between the University of Oxford’s Humanities Division and the National Trust. This first lecture, entitled ‘History, Vision, Ambition’, brought together Dame Helen Ghosh, Director-General of the National Trust, and Professor Karen O’Brien, Head of the Humanities Division, to discuss the challenges and mutual benefits associated with the partnership, as well as the ways in which the University of Oxford and the National Trust can work together.

Video: The Spirits of Crossbones Graveyard

Every month, a ragtag group of Londoners gather in the site known as Crossbones Graveyard to commemorate the souls of medieval prostitutes believed to be buried there—the “Winchester Geese,” women who were under the protection of the Church but denied Christian burial. In the Borough of Southwark, not far from Shakespeare's Globe, is a pilgrimage site for self-identified misfits, nonconformists, and contemporary sex workers who leave memorials to the outcast dead. Ceremonies combining raucous humor and eclectic spirituality are led by a local playwright, John Constable, also known as John Crow. His interpretation of the history of the site has struck a chord with many who feel alienated in present-day London. Sondra L. Hausner offers a nuanced ethnography of Crossbones that tacks between past and present to look at the historical practices of sex work, the relation of the Church to these professions, and their representation in the present. She draws on anthropological approaches to ritual and time to understand the forms of spiritual healing conveyed by the Crossbones rites. She shows that ritual is a way of creating the present by mobilizing the stories of the past for contemporary purposes.

In this Book at Lunchtime event, Sondra Hausner (Professor of Anthropology, University of Oxford) discussed her book with a panel of interdisciplinary commentators. Watch the video here.

Call for Papers: Katherine Mansfield and her Contemporaries

Each academic term The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) will sponsor the creation and/or development of up to three multi- or interdisciplinary research networks by providing a venue, funding, a web presence and publicity. Funding will ordinarily be up to £2,500. Funding is for one year (renewable for a further year on application after first year). Applicants may also apply for funds from the John Fell Fund. The next deadline is midday Friday 17 February 2017

Andrew W. Mellon 'Humanities & Identities'

Bowra Junior Research Fellowship in the Humanities 

Wadham College proposes to elect a fixed-term non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship in the Humanities from 1st October 2017. The post is intended to provide a college attachment for a post-doctoral researcher in TORCH, and will be tenable for one year in the first instance and renewable for a further two years, or until the Faculty research post terminates, whichever is the sooner. 

The successful candidate will have produced research of a high quality (taking into account the stage of their career). The committee will consider the degree to which candidates’ careers may be enhanced by such an association, and equally the ways in which candidates are likely to enrich the academic life of the college. Preference will be given to those who have not previously held an equivalent early career post. Deadline 28 April 2017

Talking Religions

The Empires of Faith project (University of Oxford/ British Museum), in partnership with TORCH, invites applications for Talking Religion.

Talking Religion is a new research group, running in Trinity and Michaelmas of 2017, that will look at the importance of material culture for the study of religion. Talking Religion will combine a series of interdisciplinary workshops, hands-on experience at both the Ashmolean and the British Museum, and the opportunity to present findings in both academic and public contexts. The research group is organised to coincide with the forthcoming Empires of Faith exhibition on Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish and Hindu art of the first millennium AD in the Ashmolean running from October 2017 to February 2018.

Call for applications

The ten successful applicants will become associate members of the Empires of Faith research project. They must be available for both a series of workshops in Trinity Term, and public engagement activities related to the forthcoming exhibition in the Ashmolean in Michaelmas and Hilary term. Deadline 15 November 2017

Women in Humanities Postdoctoral Writing Fellowship

Women in the Humanities is an interdisciplinary programme which aims to explore how gender and sex play out in history, art, philosophy, music, language and literature, as well as the ethics and politics of gender identity and equality in the Humanities.

A postdoctoral writing fellowship worth £5,000 is available to early career scholars within three years of the award of a doctorate who do not yet hold a permanent academic job. The fellowship will be tenable for between 3 and 6 months from 1 October 2017.

The deadline to submit applications is noon, 21 April 2017.

Oxford - FAPESP Collaboration Scheme

A call for proposals offering seed funding to support the exchange of researchers between Oxford and São Paulo, Brazil, has been published.

Funding is available for researchers within the areas of the Humanities and Oxford Networks for the Environment for collaborative projects.

Strong preference will be given to interdisciplinary projects and to projects that will be likely to promote sustained collaborative activity beyond the end point of the award period. Further information can be found on the FAPESP website. Deadline Monday 24 April. 

Upcoming Events

Book at Lunchtime: Politics and Public Space in Contemporary Argentine Poetry

Wednesday, March 1, 2017 - 12:30pm to 2:00pm

Seminar Room, Radcliffe Humanities, Woodstock Road, Oxford

This book addresses the connection between political themes and literary form in the most recent Argentine poetry. Ben Bollig uses the concepts of “lyric” and “state” as twin coordinates for both an assessment of how Argentinian poets have conceived a political role for their work and how poems come to speak to us about politics. Drawing on concepts from contemporary literary theory, this striking study combines textual analysis with historical research to shed light on the ways in which new modes of circulation help to shape poetry today.

The book's author, Professor Ben Bollig (Medieval and Modern Languages, University of Oxford) will explore the issues raised with:

Maria del Pilar Blanco (Professor in Spanish American Literature, University of Oxford)
Eduardo Posada-Carbo (Professor of History and Politics of Latin America, University of Oxford)
Leigh A. Payne (Professor of Sociology, University of Oxford)

The session will be chaired by Bart van Es (Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford).

Free and all welcome. Lunch will be available from 12.30, with discussion from 13.00-14.00.

Booking is essential.

Fractured Stories

Saturday, February 25, 2017 - 10:00am

Ertegun House, Oxford

When people move, what kinds of stories do they tell?
What happens to those narratives when they circulate around the world?

Does their refraction through translation and adaptation make for a different kind of story?

Most importantly: can narratives of migration ever form a coherent whole, and should they have to?

Five speakers from different disciplines will be trying to answer these questions and more during this discussion, presented by the Ertegun Graduate Scholarship Programme. The event is open to all and will be followed by a screening of Michael Winterbottom’s In this World (2002). Lunch will be provided free of charge.

Social mobility and wellbeing: does ‘moving up’ lead to better health?

Friday, March 10, 2017 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Cohen Quad (Walton St), Seminar Room 2/Kloppenberg Room, Exeter College, Oxford

Karin Eli (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford)

and

Stanley Ulijaszek (Professor of Human Ecology, Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford)

In this presentation, they will examine associations between social class in childhood, social class in adulthood, and adult wellbeing, as measured through a new socio-epidemiological questionnaire developed at the School of Anthropology in collaboration with the Oxford BioBank. The discussion will focus on how classed childhood experiences, including social mobility, may mediate, and even invert, expected relationships between health and adult social class, with particular attention to body weight, eating practices, and distress.

This event is organised by the TORCH Rags to Riches?: Experiences of Social Mobility since 1800 network.

Looking back on 2015-16

As we move swiftly through the new academic year, we look back at some of our highlights from 2015-16. 

Rereading East Germany: Literature and Film in the GDR

Rereading East Germany: Literature and Film in the GDR is the first volume to address the culture of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) as a historical entity, but also to trace the afterlife of East Germany in the decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall. It provides a 'rereading' of East Germany and its legacy as a cultural phenomenon free from the prejudices that prevailed while it existed.

The editor of the volume Karen Leeder (Professor of Modern German Literature, University of Oxford) discusses these issues with Dennis Tate (Professor of German Studies, University of Bath), Sara Jones (Senior Birmingham Fellow, University of Birmingham) and Marc Silberman (Professor of German, University of Wisconsin-Madison). The discussion is chaired by Tom Smith (Lecturer in German, University of Oxford).
