  1. Just and Unjust Political Power in Christine\u2019s Time<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Writing in a time of political turmoil, Christine de Pizan often reflects in her works on the nature of political power, how it functions within the structures of a state, how it is distributed, and how to exercise it.\u00a0\u00a0She authored explicit political treatises such as\u00a0The Book of the Body Politic<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0The Book of Peace<\/em><\/strong>, important texts in the \u201cMirror for Princes\u201d genre; in other works, such as her biography of Charles V, she addresses political power more implicitly. \u00a0This session seeks to explore late medieval views of just versus unjust political power, not only in Christine de Pizan but also in the thought of her contemporaries.\u00a0\u00a0The papers in this section may (but are by no means required to) draw parallels with contemporary notions of just and unjust political power.<\/p>\n

    1. In Memory of Susan Groag Bell:\u00a0\u00a0Christine\u2019s Legacy in Material Objects<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The independent scholar Susan Groag Bell, who passed away in 2015, was a forerunner of many of today\u2019s medievalists who focus on the study of women\u2019s writings and lives.\u00a0\u00a0Of specific interest to Christine de Pizan scholars was her final book,\u00a0The Lost Tapestries of the City of Ladies:\u00a0\u00a0Christine de Pizan\u2019s Renaissance Legacy<\/em><\/strong>, which explored the late medieval and Renaissance reception of Christine through tapestries owned by influential women (such as Elisabeth I, Queen of England, and Anne of Brittany, Queen of France).\u00a0\u00a0Inspired by Groag Bell\u2019s scholarship, this session is dedicated to the exploration of material objects \u2013 manuscripts, incunabula, tapestries, and so on \u2013 in which Christine de Pizan\u2019s legacy persisted through the late medieval and into the early modern period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
