SUMMARY:Concertina-Fold Books across Time\, Space and Cultures Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Accordion\, screenfold\, chain—various terms have been applied to books folded in a zig-zag or ‘concertina’ pattern. Seen now as novelties\, concertina-fold books were once found worldwide. They were even the preferred or sole book format in some places\, before the imperial spread of the codex. This one-day symposium gathers international experts to talk about the historic uses of the concertina structure in a range of cultural contexts around the world. The discussion showcases some of the many\, outstanding examples of these books housed in local London and Oxford collections. \n\n\n\nThe morning session is an around-the-world tour with short talks on how the concertina-fold format was deployed in different places\, across time. The afternoon is devoted to more in-depth discussion of the choice and effects of the concertina format. Lunch will be provided for in-person participants. \n\n\n\nThe symposium is part of programming for the Unfolding Time exhibition\, on medieval ‘pocket’ calendars\, which looks at the way the concertina format was deployed in late medieval Europe\, with a focus on England. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition and play with concertina facsimiles. The event is made possible through generous funding from the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC)\, University of Hamburg; Royal Society of Edinburgh; and The National Lottery Heritage Fund. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE \n\n\n\n9:30–10:00 Attendee arrival and check-in \n\n\n\n10:00 –Symposium Welcome\, Pip Willcox and Sarah Griffin \n\n\n\nSESSION 1: The Concertina-fold book around the world \n\n\n\n10:15 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n10:30 Chinese\, Costantino Moretti \n\n\n\n10:40 Tibetan\, Benjamin Nourse \n\n\n\n10:50 Japanese\, Halle O’Neal \n\n\n\n11:00 Batak\, Roberta Zollo \n\n\n\n11:10 Thai\, Peera Panarut \n\n\n\n11:20 Ethiopic\, Ewa Balicka-Witakowska \n\n\n\n11:30 Mesoamerican\, Jamie Forde \n\n\n\n11:40 Q&A \n\n\n\n12:00–1:00 LUNCH (included in ticket) + tours of the Unfolding Time exhibition \n\n\n\nSESSION 2: Implications: The Choice and significance of folding \n\n\n\n1:00 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n1:10 Choosing the concertina: Evidence from Dunhuang\, Costantino Moretti \n\n\n\n1:30 Tracing the disappearance of folds in Japanese Buddhist manuscript culture\, Halle O’Neal \n\n\n\n1:50 Straightening the Magic: The Concertina manuscripts produced by the Batak people of North Sumatra\, Roberta Zollo \n\n\n\n2:10 Q&A \n\n\n\n2:30–3:00 COFFEE + comfort break \n\n\n\nSESSION 3: Concertina communication \n\n\n\n3:00 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n3:10 Ethiopic concertina-fold manuscripts\, Ewa Balicka-Witakowska \n\n\n\n3:30 Pictures and graphic elements in Thai concertina-fold books\, Peera Panarut \n\n\n\n3:50 Q&A \n\n\n\n4:00 Concluding remarks\, Marilena Maniaci \n\n\n\n4:20 Acknowledgements & Thanks\, Sarah Griffin \n\n\n\n4:30–5:30 RECEPTION + Unfolding Time exhibition open \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nEwa Balicka-Witakowska\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nJamie Forde\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nMegan McNamee\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nCostantino Moretti\, École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) \n\n\n\nBenjamin Nourse\, University of Denver \n\n\n\nHalle O’Neal\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nPeera Panarut\, Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Staatlichen Museen\, Berlin \n\n\n\nRoberta Zollo\, Museumverband Niedersachsen und Bremen e.V.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Curator's Talk: Unfolding Time
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a short curatorial introduction to our newest exhibition\, ‘Unfolding Time’\, after which the curator will be present for questions and discussion. \n\n\n\nCome and explore medieval concepts of the past\, present and future through a rare and remarkable group of manuscripts: concertina-fold almanacs. Within the zigzag folds of these extraordinary books\, time is vividly expressed in colourful pictures\, poems\, tables and devices. With fewer than thirty manuscripts known to exist\, this exhibition brings a group of them together for the first time and sets them alongside treasures from Lambeth Palace Library. \n\n\n\nUnfolding Time is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players\, we have been able to bring these precious manuscripts together\, and make them freely accessible to the public. Generous additional support comes from the Friends of Lambeth Palace Library. \n\n\n\nCuratorial talk times: 10:30am\, 11:30am\, 2:00pm\, 3:30pm \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Friday 2 May. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.
