How to make a ring jump in the manner of a locust

How to make a ring jump in the manner of a locust

Vanessa’s research explores the medieval understanding and appreciation of magic tricks, particularly sleight-of-hand and chemical tricks, preserved in medieval manuscript recipe collections as a form of domestic play and popular science, meaning a general rather than specialist engagement with science and scientific principles, in the Middle Ages. As both material chemical practices and interpersonal performances, magic tricks are a valuable tool for interrogating how late medieval Europeans negotiated their relationships with the physical world, deceit, and each other. Medieval magic tricks intersect with artisanal craft practices; elite dining culture and cooking practices; theatre and public performance; literature; and alchemy, science, and technology. They offer an avenue for the analysis of play and experimentation across a broad spectrum of medieval society, showing how the display and collection of chemical knowledge was integrated into the popular culture of medieval Europe.

Medieval magic tricks had a broad audience that cannot be differentiated by social or occupational setting. Recipes for entertaining chemical tricks were present in universities and monasteries, in the home and on the stage, at the banquet and in the kitchen. The experience of these tricks, and related phenomena such as pranks, required a specific relationship between the performer and audience. Combining the theory of active disbelief pioneered by modern magicians and the presentation of deceit in medieval literary genres, Vanessa argues that this relationship was predicated on a shared understanding of possibility underpinned by a willing consent to be deceived. Finally, Vanessa addresses the practical reality of magic tricks demonstrating that the properties of substances manipulated for magic tricks, such as mercury’s reactivity, were the same as those used by specialist craftsmen and alchemists. Across art technology, alchemy, and magic tricks, the same chemical process could be understood functionally, analytically, and ludically and consumed on a spectrum from practical procedure to intellectual record.

After 1177: The Survival of Civilization

After 1177: The Survival of Civilization

Dr. Eric H. Cline is Professor of Classical and Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Anthropology, the former Chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and the current Director of the GWU Capitol Archaeological Institute. He is a National Geographic Explorer, a Fulbright scholar, an NEH Public Scholar, a Getty Scholar, and an award-winning teacher and author. In May 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree (honoris causa) from Muhlenberg College.

An archaeologist and ancient historian by training, Dr. Cline’s primary fields of study are biblical archaeology, the military history of the Mediterranean world from antiquity to present, and the international connections between Greece, Egypt, and the Near East during the Late Bronze Age (1700-1100 BCE). He is an experienced and active field archaeologist, with more than 30 seasons of excavation and survey to his credit since 1980 in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Cyprus, Greece, Crete, and the United States. He is perhaps best known for his work on collapse and resilience in the ancient world, specifically at the end of the second millennium BCE and the early first millennium BCE in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, epitomized by the best-selling 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed (Princeton 2014; revised edition 2021).

How humans used law to shape civilization

How humans used law to shape civilization

Fernanda Pirie uses anthropological and comparative methods to compare legal practices and texts from around the world. She has carried out ethnographic fieldwork at both ends of the Tibetan plateau and also conducted historical work on Tibetan legal texts.

The Rule of Laws: a 4,000-year quest to order the world (Profile Books, Basic Books, 2021), her most recent book, is a global history of law. It traces the rise and fall of the world’s major legal systems and compares examples of historic law-making worldwide.

In her earlier monograph, The Anthropology of Law (OUP, 2013), Fernanda addresses the nature of law as a social form, as well as analysing its role in societies. This approach builds on themes and debates developed in the Oxford Legalism project, a collaboration between scholars from anthropology, history, and other disciplines, which produced four edited volumes (Legalism, OUP, 4 vols).

Fernanda’s research on Tibetan legal texts was funded by the AHRC and established a web-site containing source material (https://tibetanlaw.org/project) as well as several publications on the nature of Tibetan law and its relationship with Buddhism. She has also has worked with historians of the region in two ANR/DFG projects to develop the social history of Tibet.

Fernanda is currently writing on themes in global and historic comparative law, while developing a further research project on historic Tibetan legal texts.

Qualifications DPhil in Social Anthropology (Oxford) 2002, MSc in Social Anthropology (UCL) 1998, Called to the Bar 1988, BA in French and Philosophy (Oxford) 1986.

Sex in the Middle Ages

Confabulating with Eleanor Janega: Dr Eleanor Janega is a medieval historian.

She teaches medieval and early modern history at the London School of Economics. She is the host of the Going Medieval series on HistoryHit TV, and the co-host of the history podcast We’re Not so Different. Going Medieval (https://going-medieval.com/tag/podcasts/) is a project aimed at making medieval history accessible and entertaining for non-expert audiences. It exists to explain the medieval influences on the everyday world, and hopefully to get people through the quotidian grind of life in late stage capitalism.

Law and Government in the Roman World

Law and Government in the Roman World

Confabulating with Prof. Clifford Ando

Ph.D., University of Michigan, 1996
Research Interests: Roman history; Roman religion; legal history; contemporary social theory; the history of political thought; metaphor and cognition

Clifford Ando’s research focuses on the histories of religion, law and government in the ancient world. His first book centered on the history of political culture in the provinces of the Roman empire, and he continues to write and advise on topics related to the provincial administration, the relationship between imperial power and local cultural change, and the form and structure of ancient empires. He has also written extensively on ancient religion. Significant themes were the connection of religion to empire and imperial government, especially in relation to pluralism and tolerance; and problems of representation in the use of objects in ritual. His current projects include a study of Latin as a language of the law and a study of legal theory in contexts of weak state power.

He is also general editor of Roman Statutes: Renewing Roman Law, a collaborative project that will produce a new edition, translation and commentary on all epigraphically-preserved Roman laws. The project is supported by grants from the The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, the Neubauer Collegium, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

"This is the Will of Allah: Simulating the Crusades in Ancestors Legacy (2018)

Confabulating with Juan Manuel Rubio

Studied history at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota, Colombia. He has a master's degree in history from the same university and an MA in medieval studies from CEU. He is currently a PhD candidate in medieval studies at CEU and his research deals with the way in which contemporary video games remediate medieval history in general and the crusades in particular. The dissertation explores the epistemological implications around the simulation of the crusades in digital spaces from a ludonarrative approach (meaning the intersection between historical narrative and play), and the pedagogical opportunities and limitations that this medium offers.

Other of his research interests include the history of the crusades, Church history, and Biblical exegesis.

Medieval Saints, Hagiography and Relics

Medieval Saints, Hagiography and Relics

Confabulating with Prof. Julia Smith

Chichele Professor of Medieval History
All Souls College

She returned to Oxford in 2016 after an absence of more than thirty years and an academic career spanning continents and countries (USA, Scotland, England). Her research interests are equally wide. She specialise in the period from the end of Antiquity to the central Middle Ages, and especially enjoy finding new and unusual angles from which to address seemingly familiar topics. After early work on early medieval frontiers, she developed new specialisms in hagiography and saints’ cults, plus the history or women and gender in the early Middle Ages. She has published two monographs, Province and Empire: Brittany and the Carolingians (Cambridge, 1992) and Europe After Rome: A New Cultural History 500-1000 (Oxford, 2005) and has edited several collaborative volumes, including Early Medieval Rome and the Christian West (Leiden, 2000); Gender in the Early Medieval World: East and West, 300-900 (co-edited with Leslie Brubaker, Cambridge, 2004) and The Cambridge History of Christianity, volume III: Early Medieval Christianities AD 600-1100 (co-edited with Thomas F X Noble, Cambridge, 2008).

Research Interests

Late antique and early medieval history c.400-1100
Medieval saints, hagiography and relics
Women and gender in the early Middle Ages

Her current research addresses the materiality of Christian experience in the Middle Ages. She is concerned with ‘things which do things’, and use an ethnographic approach to exploring how, why and in what social contexts a wide range of material substances acquired a sacred aura, serving as mediators between humans and the divinity. The result will be a book (or possibly two books) on the emergence and development of the cult of relics from the 4th to the 11th centuries. This research draws heavily on approaches and methodologies derived from my earlier publications on the history of women and gender in the early Middle Ages (a field in which she retains a strong interest) but also has a strong cross-cultural dimension. Beyond that, she is interested in developing interdisciplinary approaches to studying the abundant material remains of late antique and early medieval relic-objects which she has discovered while undertaking field work in the treasuries of some of Europe’s oldest churches.

The relationship between Africa and Europe on the 'long' nineteenth century

The relationship between Africa and Europe on the 'long' nineteenth century

Confabulating with:

Prof. Richard Reid

Richard is a historian of modern Africa, with a focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is particularly interested in the culture and practice of warfare in the modern period, and have focused on the transformations in violence in the late precolonial period (the nineteenth century), as well as on more recent armed insurgencies, especially those between the 1950s and the 1980s. He also works on historical culture and memory, especially around trauma and upheaval, and one strand of my research involves an exploration of how the ‘precolonial’ is perceived and understood in modern Africa (as well as in modern Europe). While some of his published works spans the continent as a whole, his primary research is on East and Northeast Africa, including Uganda and the Great Lakes region, Ethiopia, and Eritrea.

Research Interests:

Warfare and militarism in Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly East and Northeast Africa
Historical culture, emotion and memory in modern Africa, particularly East and Northeast Africa
The relationship between Africa and Europe during the ‘long’ nineteenth century

His current research is concerned with histories of war in modern Africa, and has two main strands. The first focuses on the ways in which war leads to distinctive, often markedly emotional, forms of historical culture, and how it influences both public history and more private understandings of the past. His case study is the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia (1998-2000), which in some ways was the outcome of distinctive cultures of violence, militarism, and historical consciousness, but which has also served to underpin those cultures. He is especially interested in how history is organized and ‘packaged’ as the result of prolonged trauma, including at the level of national history, and he has recently undertaken work on Uganda with that in view.

Secondly, and related to this, he is interested in how the ‘precolonial’ is perceived and understood in modern Africa, especially given the negative connotations often attached to precolonial violence by modern political and economic elites. This is particularly fascinating given that at least some of those elites are themselves the products of violence and its long-term aftermath in the postcolonial era.

The third strand of my work involves a re-examination of the relationship between Africa and Europe during the long nineteenth century. The culmination of that relationship, famously, was the so-called ‘scramble for Africa’, between the 1870s and the 1910s, and I am in the process of revisiting that formative ‘moment’ in the histories of both continents. But I am equally interested in the ways in which political, economic, and military upheavals in both continents during the nineteenth century were closely intertwined. Ultimately, I am seeking to understand Africa’s revolutions during that era in a more global context.

French offers an original and convincing hypothesis about a distinctive mercantile and artisanal culture that is not merely emulative of elite consumption practices, but rather innovative and adaptive. Throughout, she explores the relationship between gender, 'stuff, ' and the lifeways and rituals associated with household work, food, and childbirth. More broadly, she makes a powerful contribution to wider historical and sociological discussions about the relationship between people and their things.

The Status Interaction During the Reign of Louis XIV

The Status Interaction During the Reign of Louis XIV

Confabulating with Prof GIORA STERNBERG Associate Professor of Early Modern History Hertford College He began his academic studies in Tel-Aviv University and came to Oxford for a DPhil in History in 2005. He was then a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows from 2009 to 2012, when He took up his current position at the Faculty of History and at Hertford College. Research Interests: His research and publications to date have largely focused on two broad themes at the intersection among political, social, and cultural history: symbolic interaction and writing practices. His first book, Status Interaction during the Reign of Louis XIV (OUP, 2014; pbk ed. 2016; shortlisted for the Royal History Society Gladstone Prize), investigates how and why individuals and groups expressed, shaped, and contested social positions in a variety of contexts, from high ceremonies to everyday routines. For contemporaries, status interaction operated as a key tool for defining and redefining identities, relations, and power; for scholars, it provides a novel lens for understanding early modern action and agency. The two themes combine in his work on correspondence, especially in his Past & Present article from 2009, which has offered a systematic framework for understanding letters as textual and material vehicles of status. His current main research project, titled 'Writing Acts: The Power of Writing in the Ancien Régime' (under contract with Oxford University Press), explores the direct practical impact of manuscript forms in the social and political arenas. Its first major output appeared in The Journal of Modern History in 2013 (see Publications for further details).

The Bible in the Medieval World

The Bible in the Medieval World

Confabulating with Prof Lesley Smith (Oxford University)

Professor of Medieval Intellectual History; Fellow in Politics
Harris Manchester College

Research Interests
Medieval Intellectual History
The Bible in the Middle Ages
Medieval Manuscripts

She works on the medieval Bible, as both a physical and intellectual object. This ranges from close technical work with manuscripts of Bibles, biblical commentary, theology and pastoralia, to the exposition of commentary and theology, to investigation of the intellectual milieu of the schools in which the Bible was studied – the people and the products of this early university system, from the twelfth century onwards. In particular, She explores the two-way link between the manuscript evidence and the intellectual evidence of these early schools – in modern terms, how technology affects what we learn and know, and vice versa. The study of the Bible has also led her to contribute to the study of medieval Jewish-Christian scholarship and relations.

She currently supervise Masters students in the fields: Medieval intellectual history, widely defined; history of exegesis, biblical studies and theology; history of the university.

She is a regular supervisor for MSt Medieval Studies and MST Medieval History.

Medieval Nostalgia

Medieval Nostalgia

Confabulating with Dr Hannah Skoda

I work on the cultural and social history of the later Middle Ages.
I blog about what I do at
ideasnowandthen.blogspot.co.uk and historyformychildren.com/
My interests lie principally in the social and cultural history of the later Middle Ages: hitherto, I have focused mainly on France, but I am now working comparatively with material from late medieval England, Italy and Germany. I am particularly interested in constructions of deviance; nostalgia; and legalism in this period, and enjoy collaborations with anthropologists and literary scholars.


Research Interests
History of nostalgia
History of misbehaviour, particularly amongst medieval students
History of late medieval slavery
My first book focused on popular violence in later medieval northern France. I worked on the interconnections between different forms of violence, from tavern brawls to domestic violence to urban uprisings, and looked at legal and cultural constructions of 'deviance', and the role of emotions in provoking outbursts of brutality.
My current research focuses on nostalgia in the later Middle Ages. The fourteenth century is often labelled as a century of catastrophe. A fairer assessment describes profound socio-economic, cultural and political changes which had the potential to transform ways of thinking. Many contemporaries responded in profoundly nostalgic terms, harking back to ‘the good old days’, whether the time of their grandparents, or a more nebulous lost golden age. My work examines nostalgia across the social spectrum. Recent anthropologists and philosophers highlight the counter-intuitively hopeful aspect of such an attitude. In many ways, a cross-cultural concept, it was articulated in powerful, lyrical and often subversive ways in the fourteenth century.
I also work on the misbehaviour of fifteenth-century students at the universities of Oxford, Paris and Heidelberg. Drawing on criminological models, my research examines the relationship between the negative stereotypes imposed upon students by a variety of commentators and observers, and the ways in which the students negotiated those stereotypes in their actual misbehaviour. The source material ranges from student poems and letters, to sermons and legal material.
Violence and conflict are obviously of great contemporary relevance, as well as essential to an understanding of the complexities of medieval society. Disentangling the relationships between what people did, what they said they did, and what other people said about these actions is extremely challenging, but can substantially deepen and nuance our understanding.
Further interests include Joan of Arc's emotional world; the history of sufficiency; and the legalism of property and ownership, particularly in the context of medieval slavery. Late medieval slavery is the more unsettling and often un-acknowledged underside of the Renaissance: I am interested in recovering the stories and experiences of slaves. Their humanity continues to resonate across the centuries through the surviving legal material.

History of Photography in Medicine

History of Photography in Medicine

Confabulating with Dr Sloan Mahone Associate Professor of the History of Medicine Faculty of History | Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology Dr Mahone specializes in the history of psychiatry and the psychological sciences in Africa. I have extensive experience in East, Southern and Central Africa, dating back to the Peace Corps in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then Zaire). Her recent research has focussed on East Africa, particularly Kenya and Zanzibar. Her current project deals extensively with photography and visual sources, particularly related to neurology and psychiatry. She also teaches and supervises in the history of Global Psychiatry; the Psychology of Religion; and Gender and Sexuality. Research Interests History of Medicine and Psychiatry History of Photography Psychology of Religion At present, She is completing a project on the history of psychiatry and photography in late colonial Kenya. The monograph looks at the turmoil of 1950s Kenya as told through a unique photographic collection taken by a Canadian psychiatrist who ran the mental hospital in Nairobi during the Mau Mau war. This is an unusual approach to a history of psychiatry – opting to follow the trail of a physician photographer as he encountered healers, prophets, patients, and prisoners during the most tumultuous period in Kenya’s modern history. This project has become as much a history of photography as a history of medicine with the use, re-use and misuse of the images themselves an integral part of the story. Her next project, now in the planning and preliminary field site investigation stage, is a comparative history of epilepsy and neurology across Africa. She currently teaches: Masters: Methods and Themes in the History of Medicine Graduate Research Forum in History of Science, Medicine & Technology Political Economy of Health and Medicine in Africa Historical Approaches to the Psychology of Religion
