SUMMARY:New Voices Women's Ideas in the History of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Anna Gili: Women’s Health in Early Islamic Medical Works: Contextualising al-Maǧūsī’s “Kitāb al-malakī” \n\n\n\n\n\nAl-Maǧūsī\, a Zoroastrian physician from the Fārs province\, composed his Kitāb al-malakī during the second half of the tenth century. This medical encyclopaedia in ten books which aims to synthesize and systematize all earlier medical knowledge into a unified whole also devotes great attention to women’s health issues. Al-Maǧūsī’s analysis encompasses topics such as foetal formation\, growth\, and female anatomy along gynaecological diseases\, the diet of pregnant women and the role of midwives\, while also examining cures for gynaecological ailments and specific surgical operations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBased on the assumption that the Kitāb al-malakī should be studied as an organic treatise\, my talk will present an overview of how and why reproduction\, maternity\, and fertility were considered relevant in the tenth century. I will also be assessing to what extent the Kitāb al-malakī relies on earlier sources and which innovations are contributed by al- Maǧūsī himself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker…\n \n\n\n\n\nAnna Gili is a PhD student in Latin and Arabic philology at the University of Padua and the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (cotutelle de thèse). Her main research interest is the transmission of medical knowledge from Greek into Arabic and from Arabic into Latin during the Middle Ages. Her PhD project aims to critically edit and study the books on pathology in the medical encyclopaedia al-Kitāb al-Malakī\, composed by ʿAlī ibn al-ʿAbbās al-Maǧūsī (10th c.) and in its two Latin translations\, namely the Pantegni by Constantine the African and the Liber regalis by Stephen of Antioch. \n\n\n  \nEveryone is welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:New Voices Women's Ideas in the History of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Shannon McHugh: Women’s Reproductive Lives in Renaissance Italian Lyric Poetry \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat can a sonnet teach us about the history of women’s reproductive bodies? For the early modern world\, notions about pregnancy and childbirth have been well documented by historians\, who have combed through archival and print materials composed by the period’s medical\, religious\, and humanist authorities. Literary texts\, however\, have been consulted less\, including lyric poetry; short\, emotional poems are not normally among the historian’s go-to objects. Yet lyric is rife with representations of motherhood. Examples appear in verse written in vernacular and in Latin\, in poems of Marian worship and of autobiographic account\, such as the prolific poet Francesca Turina (1553–1641)\, who composed numerous poems on miscarriage\, childbirth\, and early motherhood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe details captured in her descriptions both complicate standard historical narratives and flesh out our understanding of family practices in this period\, shading in scholarly models with affective dimensions. This paper expands our understanding of the history of women’s reproductive autonomy by tracing depictions of pregnancy\, abortion\, miscarriage\, birth\, and nursing in Renaissance Italian lyric poetry. Unlike texts by medical and theological authorities\, lyric provides access to personal experience and can do so on a wider scale: it was the most democratic of literary genres\, practiced by men of various social stripes\, and\, in early modern Italy\, by numerous women. \n\n\n\n  \nAbout the Speaker…\n \n\n\n\n\nShannon McHugh is Assistant Director of Research at The Huntington Library. Her research focuses on early modern Italian and French lyric poetry and gender. Publications include Petrarch and the Making of Gender in Renaissance Italy (Amsterdam UP\, 2023) and the co-edited volume Vittoria Colonna: Poetry\, Religion\, Art\, Impact(Amsterdam UP\, 2021). She was the 2023–24 Molina Fellow in the History of Medicine at The Huntington\, where she researched her current book project\, “Women’s Reproductive Lives in Renaissance Lyric Poetry.” \n\n  \nEveryone is welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:Research Colloquium - Dr. Dagmar Pichová (Masaryk University\, Brno)\, Czech Women Philosophers: Anna Pammrová and Albína Dratvová
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Pichová is giving a guest lecture in the seminar Radical Feminism (led by Ana Rodrigues). \nThe lecture will take place on campus in room E2.316. \nInterested guests are welcome!  However\, due to limited room capacity\, prior registration is requested: please email to ana.rodrigues@uni-paderborn.de \n  \nDr. Pichová will present the life and work of two Czech women philosophers\, Anna Pammrová (1860–1945) and Albína Dratvová (1892–1969). \nAlbína Dratvová was among the first women to graduate from Charles University in Prague. She was the first Czech woman philosopher to pursue an academic career\, publish a philosophical monograph\, and earn her habilitation in philosophy. Dratvová was also deeply engaged with psychology and ethical issues. In Smutek vzdělanců (The Sadness of Scholars\, 1940)\, she explored the nature and causes of the distinct melancholy experienced by scholars as a consequence of their intellectual work. \nAnna Pammrová spent most of her life in seclusion in the forest\, living in extremely modest conditions. Despite her unconventional and largely self-directed education\, she acquired extensive knowledge of foreign languages and translated philosophical texts into Czech. Her interests spanned Ancient Indian wisdom\, theosophy\, and the philosophy of Tolstoy\, Schopenhauer\, and Nietzsche. \nDagmar Pichová argues that studying their work is valuable not only as a case study of Central European women philosophers but also for its broader intellectual contributions. Pammrová’s thought can be examined through the lens of contemporary ecofeminism\, while Dratvová developed a complex perspective on the status and role of scholars in modern society.

SUMMARY:New Voices Women's Ideas in the History of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Karine Durin: Fluids as Dynamic and Organic Forces. Medical knowledge in Oliva Sabuco de Nantes \n\n\n\n\n\nThis work will examine the study of organic fluids and movements in the Nueva filosofía de la naturaleza del hombre\, published by Oliva Sabuco de Nantes in 1587. The representation of the internal anatomy shows the dynamics that flow back and forth\, combining the power of emotions and affects\, the processes of digestion and the influence of the environment\, all of which are expressed in Sabuco’s vision through the ebb and flow of movements of growth and decay. The categories of dry and wet are themselves governed by the emotions\, in particular tristeza y descontento\, when the soul and body are in discord. The regulating role of the emotions on the movement of fluids and even on the principles of digestion brings us back \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nback to the centre of the vital composition\, which for Sabuco is the brain. From then\, the flow of fluids in all their forms (milk\, semen\, bile\, gastric fluid\, tears\, white blood\, chyle) led us to follow Sabuco’s project of medical reform. But what happens in this text with the legacy of ancient and galenic physiology’s theories on fluids and humours? What philosophical interpretation stems from this interpretation of the bodily fluidity\, which affects men\, women and animals equally? The bodily fluidity in Sabuco gives rise to a rich metaphorical expression and highlights a vitalism correlated with a global vision of society whose reform project concludes the 1587 work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the Speakers…\n \n\n\n\n\nKarine Durin is Full-Professor at the University of Nantes (France). She is a specialist of intellectual history in the Early Modern Iberian World. She recently published a chapter on Sabuco de Nantes\, between Epicureanism and Stoicism (“A Female Dissenter in Counter-Reformation Spain”\, De Gruyter\, 2024) and a contribution on feminine reading of Baltasar Gracián in XVIIth century France (Classiques Garnier\, 2024). She is currently working on the first translation of Sabuco’s treatise in French. \n\n  \nEveryone is welcome to attend. Please register here and you will get the Zoom-Link after registration.
