Carnivalesque XLI

The latest CARNIVALESQUE is up and running. Great job by Meg at XOOM. Ancient and early Medieval focus this time.

Off to the Old World

I'm off to the Old Country tomorrow for 5 weeks, attending a NEH Summer Institute on the Holy Land in Oxford. Hopefully, I'll get to meet up with some people while there. If anyone else is will be in the UK and is interested in getting together, get in touch. I'll have email.

Blogging in the interim (from me) will be sporadic and light.

UPDATE: Not too busy to update and play with Blogger's new "blogs list" doo-hickey (now on the right). If anyone/ anything is missing, please let me know though.

Jeff Sypeck's Applied Medievalism, Cont.

Our last blog forum entry has generated a great, stimulating discussion. I hope it continues.

But, I also wanted to point people to some responses elsewhere. Dr. Nokes, of Unlocked Wordhoard, now has a response up. Highly Eccentric, of The Naked Philologist, has another (even if she promises that her real response is yet to come). JJ Cohen, part of In the Middle, unrelatedly has announced a GW seminar on "Touching the Past." Finally, I put this in the comments to the original blog forum post, but it may've gotten lost. So, let me repeat the announcment that Stanley Fish has a new book coming out that tells academics to be quiet and stay in the classroom.

Ok, now discuss.

UPDATE: Now, Magistra weighs in too.

UPDATE 2: Now, here's Highly Eccentric. And part deux.
