Sports, Martial Arts, and Religion in China: The Case of the Shaolin Monastery - Professor Meir Shahar - Olympics Lecture Series

What is the purpose of physical exercise?  Should athletic achievements be measured by the Olympic criteria of speed, height, distance, or strength, or should the practitioner aim at the higher goals of spiritual liberation?  This lecture will outline the evolution of the Chinese martial arts tradition, which features a unique synthesis of military, therapeutic, and religious goals.  The Chinese martial art is a multifaceted system of physical and mental self-cultivation, which is simultaneously intended for self-defense, health, and religious perfection.  The lecture will focus upon the renowned example of the Shaolin Temple, in which Buddhist monks have been practicing the martial arts for fifteen hundred years.

Mario Ascheri - Working Materials – ‘The Great Century of a City-State: Siena in the Thirteenth Century’

Mario Ascheri of the Faculty of Law, University of Rome will speak on

‘The Great Century of a City-State: Siena in the Thirteenth Century’

Mario Ascheri is a most distinguished, prolific and versatile medievalist who has written authoritatively on the history of law, his main specialism, as well as on the political and cultural history of medieval Italy. He is particularly renowned for his work on the town and territory of Siena, which includes many critical editions of statutes, two general books and countless articles. In this talk he proposes to conduct a ‘discussion’ with Daniel Waley’s Siena and the Sienese in the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge, 1991), and to raise broader questions about current approaches to the history of Italian city-states in the middle ages.

Lunch will be provided. All are welcome, but to help with catering please let Peter Denley know if you are planning to come (p.r.denley@qmul.ac.uk).

Wednesday 1
Islam and the West Research Seminar - The Second Ottoman Empire: A whiggish history of the Middle East?

Baki Tezcan

(University of California, Davis)

Wednesday, 1^st February 2012

Baki Tezcan is one of the leading historians of the Ottoman Empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in its supposed long period of decline.  His The Second Ottoman Empire: Political and Social Transformation in the Early Modern World (Cambridge University Press, 2010) shows how seismic changes in the political, economic, military, and social spheres created a 'Second Empire', in which proto-democratization led to the transformation of the patrimonial, medieval, dynastic institution into a fledgling limited monarchy.

One reviewer has called it “a rough draft of what a Whig interpretation of the Middle Eastern past would look like”. In his Queen Mary talk, Tezcan will discuss whether the Middle East could make use of some whiggish historiography, given the troubled trajectory of its encounter with the West in the modern period.

Leo Baeck Lecture Series: New perspectives on Jewish-non-Jewish relations

From the medieval ballad of the Jew’s daughter who seduces a young Christian boy in order to murder him, to Shakespeare’s uncertain apostate Jessica, the Jewess held a marginal place in English literary history. In the nineteenth century, however, she became a literary preoccupation. In this lecture, Nadia Valman traces the story of the Jewess, from its birth in Romantic and Evangelical writing through myriad rewritings in both popular and high literature. The literary Jewess – invariably beautiful, virtuous and tragic – dramatically reveals the dynamic and ambiguous responses to Jews in England in this period.

Dr Nadia Valman is Senior Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature at Queen Mary, University of London, the author of The Jewess in Nineteenth-Century British Literary Culture (Cambridge University Press) and the co-editor of five books on Jews and British literature.

This event is organised by the Leo Baeck Institute London, the Jewish Museum and the Fritz Bauer Institut, Frankfurt am Main, in cooperation with the German Historical Institute London. The lecture is held at the German Historical Institute, 17 Bloomsbury Square, London WC1A 2NJ and will begin at 7.00pm.

Sports, Martial Arts, and Religion in China: The Case of the Shaolin Monastery - Professor Meir Shahar - Olympics Lecture Series

What is the purpose of physical exercise?  Should athletic achievements be measured by the Olympic criteria of speed, height, distance, or strength, or should the practitioner aim at the higher goals of spiritual liberation?  This lecture will outline the evolution of the Chinese martial arts tradition, which features a unique synthesis of military, therapeutic, and religious goals.  The Chinese martial art is a multifaceted system of physical and mental self-cultivation, which is simultaneously intended for self-defense, health, and religious perfection.  The lecture will focus upon the renowned example of the Shaolin Temple, in which Buddhist monks have been practicing the martial arts for fifteen hundred years.

The Annual Nicolai Rubinstein Lecture in the History of Political Thought and Intellectual History

'What's the Big Idea? Intellectual History and the Longue Durée'

Newton by William Blake

The Nicolai Rubinstein Lecture in the History of Political Thought and Intellectual History is an annual memorial lecture held in honour of the distinguished Renaissance scholar and former Queen Mary colleague, Nicolai Rubinstein. Having fled Nazi persecution in the 1930s, Rubinstein was appointed to a lectureship at Westfield College, University of London (later merged with Queen Mary) in 1945, and retired as Professor in 1978. He was the leading authority on the government of Florence under the Medici, and a renowned expert in the art, architecture and political thought of Renaissance Italy. This lecture series, inaugurated in 2007, celebrates his contribution to intellectual history".

Previous lecturers can be found here.

Professor David Armitage is the Lloyd C. Blankfein Professor of History at Harvard University and an Honorary Professor of History at the University of Sydney. He is the author of numerous award-winning books, co-editor of the Cambridge University Press series Ideas in Context, a member of the Board of Syndics of Harvard University Press and a member of the Steering Committee of the Center for the History of British Political Thought at the Folger Shakespeare Library. In 2006, the National Maritime Museum in London awarded him its Caird Medal for “conspicuously important work ... of a nature that involves communicating with the public” and in 2008 Harvard named him a Walter Channing Cabot Fellow for “achievements and scholarly eminence in the fields of ‘literature, history or art’.

Mario Ascheri - Working Materials – ‘The Great Century of a City-State: Siena in the Thirteenth Century’

Mario Ascheri of the Faculty of Law, University of Rome will speak on

‘The Great Century of a City-State: Siena in the Thirteenth Century’

Mario Ascheri is a most distinguished, prolific and versatile medievalist who has written authoritatively on the history of law, his main specialism, as well as on the political and cultural history of medieval Italy. He is particularly renowned for his work on the town and territory of Siena, which includes many critical editions of statutes, two general books and countless articles. In this talk he proposes to conduct a ‘discussion’ with Daniel Waley’s Siena and the Sienese in the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge, 1991), and to raise broader questions about current approaches to the history of Italian city-states in the middle ages.

Lunch will be provided. All are welcome, but to help with catering please let Peter Denley know if you are planning to come (p.r.denley@qmul.ac.uk).

Islam and the West Research Seminar - The Second Ottoman Empire: A whiggish history of the Middle East?

Baki Tezcan

(University of California, Davis)

Wednesday, 1^st February 2012

Baki Tezcan is one of the leading historians of the Ottoman Empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in its supposed long period of decline.  His The Second Ottoman Empire: Political and Social Transformation in the Early Modern World (Cambridge University Press, 2010) shows how seismic changes in the political, economic, military, and social spheres created a 'Second Empire', in which proto-democratization led to the transformation of the patrimonial, medieval, dynastic institution into a fledgling limited monarchy.

One reviewer has called it “a rough draft of what a Whig interpretation of the Middle Eastern past would look like”. In his Queen Mary talk, Tezcan will discuss whether the Middle East could make use of some whiggish historiography, given the troubled trajectory of its encounter with the West in the modern period.

Leo Baeck Lecture Series: New perspectives on Jewish-non-Jewish relations

From the medieval ballad of the Jew’s daughter who seduces a young Christian boy in order to murder him, to Shakespeare’s uncertain apostate Jessica, the Jewess held a marginal place in English literary history. In the nineteenth century, however, she became a literary preoccupation. In this lecture, Nadia Valman traces the story of the Jewess, from its birth in Romantic and Evangelical writing through myriad rewritings in both popular and high literature. The literary Jewess – invariably beautiful, virtuous and tragic – dramatically reveals the dynamic and ambiguous responses to Jews in England in this period.

Dr Nadia Valman is Senior Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature at Queen Mary, University of London, the author of The Jewess in Nineteenth-Century British Literary Culture (Cambridge University Press) and the co-editor of five books on Jews and British literature.

This event is organised by the Leo Baeck Institute London, the Jewish Museum and the Fritz Bauer Institut, Frankfurt am Main, in cooperation with the German Historical Institute London. The lecture is held at the German Historical Institute, 17 Bloomsbury Square, London WC1A 2NJ and will begin at 7.00pm.

Colin Jones will explore ways in which analysis of the broad political, social and cultural significance of the city may be combined with the very Parisian experience of being caught up in a world of one’s own.

Michael Questier, Professor in History, Inaugural Lecture
"The Cause of this Sudden Execution”: Treason, Politics and Religion in Post-Reformation England
Historians of post-Reformation England have traditionally depicted the Elizabethan and early Stuart regimes as fundamentally tolerant. The contemporary accounts of those Catholics who became victims of the new treason statutes of this period have therefore been difficult to assimilate into mainstream historical narratives. By looking again at the records of treason prosecutions of Catholics during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I it is possible, or so this lecture will claim, to work towards a radically different version of politico-religious conflict in England during the later sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
