Aminah Hasan-Birdwell (Columbia University)<\/h3>\n

The Ethics of Imagination in Cavendish\u2019s Orations of Diver Sorts<\/em><\/h4>\n
Wednesday, December 9, 4-5pm<\/h5>\n
Remote meeting: See Zoom link and password below<\/h5>\n
\n

Aminah Hasan-Birdwell is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor and Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Philosophy at Columbia University and is the Alva and Beatrice Bradley Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Furman University. Her research attends to marginalized figures in early modern philosophy and their contributions to philosophical issues of ontology, political thought, and ethics, as well as their relevance to combating the presence of racism and misogyny in the philosophical canon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Margaret Cavendish understood imagination to hold potential therapeutic qualities for those who have experienced violence and destruction. The productive use of imagination is central not only to Cavendish\u2019s natural philosophy and literary works, but also to her presentation of the varied ethical responses to the tragedies of war in Part III of Orations of Diver Sorts<\/em>. In this text, Cavendish\u2019s advice to individuals \u201cruined by war\u201d is to rid their mind of fears, grief, and terrors and inspire hope by entertaining themselves with \u201cpleasing imaginations.\u201d Cavendish recommends the power of imagination to inspire the hope of the populace and catalyze the rebuilding of a city or a commonwealth after war, either in the capacity of electing new magistrates, building statues, or staging theatrical performances. Ultimately, drawing on these examples and Cavendish\u2019s other works, I argue that Cavendish demonstrates an ethical dimension of imagination that is essential to human flourishment after the experience of tragedy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The English Sweating Sickness and the Rhetoric of Virality<\/h4>\n

Co-sponsored by the Medical Humanities program<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, October 28, 4-5pm<\/h5>\n
Remote meeting: See Zoom link and password below<\/h5>\n
\n

Christopher Hutchinson is Assistant Professor of German at the University of Mississippi. His research focuses on early modern German literature, print history, and the history of disease. He holds a Ph.D from Stanford in German Studies and a B.A. in Modern and Medieval Languages\u00a0from Cambridge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When a deadly new epidemic, the English sweating sickness, struck Germany in the Summer of 1529, it sparked a wave of short, vernacular, printed pamphlets on the disease, which some writers and doctors accused of spreading fear and lies. In this talk, I argue that this spread of harmful information on the sweating sickness is indicative of medical writers\u2019 growing anxieties about the spread of cheap, vernacular pamphlets in first century of print. In their responses to the sweating sickness, these writers draw parallels between the spread of the disease and the spread of fear and misinformation on the disease, suggesting the pamphlets might be taking more lives than the sweating sickness itself. In doing so, they develop what I call a \u201crhetoric of virality\u201d to give voice to their anxieties about the printed word.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Laura M. Stevens is Chapman Associate Professor of English at the University of Tulsa, where she teaches English, American, transatlantic, and Native American literature of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A past president of the Society of Early Americanists and former editor of\u00a0Tulsa Studies in Women\u2019s Literature,<\/em>\u00a0she is the author of\u00a0The Poor Indians: British Missionaries, Native Americans, and Colonial Sensibility\u00a0<\/em>(UPenn Press, 2004)\u00a0and of the forthcoming book\u00a0Friday\u2019s Tribe: Eighteenth-Century\u00a0English Missionary Fantasies<\/em>\u00a0(Upenn Press).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That the English Bible, especially the King James translation, was a cornerstone of early modern English literature, is undisputed, as is the importance of the Protestant Reformation to rising literacy rates. But how exactly did ordinary, minimally educated people understand the task of reading the Bible? How did they fit scripture into the activities of everyday devotion and moral development? What images and words emerged to describe the intimacies or estrangements that governed the relationship between scripture and individual Christian? And what role did books as material objects play in developing this relationship? This talk will explore three texts that fit under the broad category of what David Hall has termed \u201cdevotional steady sellers\u201d of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, along with a fourth text that was central to English missionary, diplomatic, and colonizing efforts among the Haudenosaunee people of the American northeast. These include extracts of the Bible in verse, the first Bible-verse-a-day publication, the first \u201chieroglyphic\u201d bible, which provides illustrations for each word in selected verses, and a selective translation of the Book of Common Prayer into Mohawk. These publications simultaneously gesture to the particularities of the London book trade but also to an international, transatlantic Protestant network of publishers, authors, and readers. This talk will consider these texts within the frameworks of book history but also of emotion studies, asking in particular how these texts structured individual readers\u2019 affective relationship to the Bible and to Protestant Christianity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
