"Philosophy and Religion"

When the modern university disciplines were institutionalized in the
19th century, the history of philosophy was constructed as a story to
present evolution of rational thought. In order to present itself as a
form of scientific knowledge (Wissenschaft), philosophy suppressed
important elements of its past. A dialogue which since late Antiquity
had centered on the value to be accorded to the cosmology and theology
of pagan antiquity was reconfigured as a debate between 'religion' and
'science'. This reconstruction has left us with a very selective reading
of the history of philosophy, a reading very different from that which
dominated European thought from Antiquity to the 17th century. This two
credit course will present this history of dialogues, re-readings, and
silencings by focusing on key thinkers and periods.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 5:30 p.m.
Location: CEU Nador 9. Bldg, Room #409

A public lecture presented by the Department of Medieval Studies and
the History Department, in the framework of the public lecture series:
"Renaissance, Revival and Enlightenment: Concepts in Historical
Perspective":

Jocelyn Wogan-Browne (Fordham University)
"Women and Renaissances Again: An Anglo-Norman Perspective"

The term 'renaissance' is an unhelpful impediment in conceiving and
researching the history of medieval women's literary culture, even when
it is modified towards the notion of different renaissances for women
than for men (as in for instance the question of a thirteenth-century
renaissance for women, an issue which has been discussed from time to
time ever since the work of Grundmann in the 1930's on medieval
religious movements). The paper will take the particular case of
medieval England and the interplay between nineteenth-century
nationalisms in England and France together with their constructions of
'renaissances' and show how this has virtually occluded 400 years of
women's writing, reading and audition. Conceptualizations of change and
continuity that seem more appropriate for eliciting medieval women's
(and to a considerable extent, medieval men's) culture and history will
also be discussed.

Jocelyn Wogan-Browne is Associate Professor at the English Department
of Fordham University. Her main field of interest is medieval English
prose and medieval feminine spirituality. Professor Wogan-Browne's
latest monograph is Saints' Lives and the Literary Culture of Women, c.
1150-c.1300: Virginity and Its Authorizations (Oxford, 2001).

DECEMBER 31, 2001 - February 28, 2002
Location: CEU Nador u. 11. Bldg, Galeria Centralis

An exhibition presented by the Open Society Archives at CEU:

"The Millenary Exhibition"

The new exhibition at Galeria Centralis focuses on the millennial
events, programmes and works of art that received public funding in
Hungary. This is the only exhibition so far that has tried to give an
overall picture of the kinds of official programmes and centrally
sponsored works that were created on the occasion of the millennium, the
anniversary not only of the foundation of the Hungarian State but also
of the adoption of Christianity.

Material was collected with the help of the state institutions that
organised, subsidised and documented these events, including the
Millennium Commissary Office, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the
Religious Editorial staff of the Hungarian Television, Duna Television,
the Hungarian Radio, the Hungarian Post Office, the Coin Trade Joint
Stock Company of the Hungarian National Bank, the Office for the
Protection of Historic Monuments (previously the Committee for the
Protection of Historic Monuments) and the Millennial Non-profit Company.
The selection of material on display in the exhibition largely reflects
the value judgements of the above-mentioned institutions: the exhibition
shows the events and programmes that they consider most important.

The collection of official documents and declarations serves to
reconstruct the authorities' intentions with regard to the Millennium,
the material displayed in the exhibition will help to establish the
extent to which those intentions were actually fulfilled.

The exhibition will be open through February 28.

Galeria Centralis opening hours:
Tuesday-Friday: 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday-Sunday: 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
