Research-Creation in the early Middle Ages: the example of Hibernicus Exul : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne <p> The pivotal role played by Irish scholars in preserving and transmitting ancient learning during the early Middle Ages is well known even beyond the academy, thanks to popularising works such as ‘How the Irish Saved Civilization’. Yet a great deal of work remains to be done on individual Irish figures working in continental Europe during the eighth to tenth centuries in order to establish more rigorously the Irish contribution. The shadowy figure known as ‘Hibernicus Exul’ (‘the Irish exile’) provides an ideal test-case for this work: the author of thirty-eight Latin poems, on scholarly, political, and comic topics, his works appear in a single manuscript, Vatican Reg. Lat. 2078. This is an important and influential poetic anthology from the heart of the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of intense cultural and intellectual activity in eight- and ninth-century Europe during which the literature and learning of the ancient Graeco-Roman world was rediscovered and concerted efforts were made to standardise and widen access to educational systems, with significant consequences for the intellectual history of western Europe. The PhD student recruited will write the first monograph-length study of Hibernicus Exul, setting his work in the context of the manuscript, addressing the controversial question of his possible identification with the better- known Carolingian scholar Dúngal, and demonstrate how the poet exemplifies the nature of medieval Irish literature, which simultaneously aims to educate and to entertain, and can in many ways be seen as a predecessor of today’s Research-Creation. </p> <p> <strong>Please note below additional requirements when submitting your Expressions of Interest:</strong> </p> <ul> <li>Additional requirements: <ul> <li> <strong>Statement of research interest [max. 1000 words]</strong> </li> <li> <strong>MA in a related field, or equivalent, to be completed by the programme start date.</strong> </li> <li> <strong>Evidence of at least six semesters of Latin, or equivalent, with grades of B+ or higher, or equivalent</strong> </li> </ul> </li> </ul>

Four paintings in vivid colours featuring a pumpkin created with dots against a brightly coloured background

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has said that her pumpkins act as self-portraits. The idea began as her parents owned a plant nursery and she has described the pumpkin as “a spiritual home,” a form in which she sees herself reflected #Womensart

Australia, your new opposition leaders #libspill #auspol See you all back here for #libspill round two, closer to the election 👋

Happy #LibSpill Day for those who celebrate.

PM giving the Closing the Gap annual report, and ABC News reporting only 13 or so Libs are reportedly currently seated in House of Reps. Disgraceful! #auspol #libspill

0.4 FTE and casual contract here -tips hat- At one point, I also had a 0.2 FTE as well as those two. Make sure you set aside enough $ for tax (in case you have a bill), as each job won't put aside enough, and you get taxed on the total earned

Ding ding ding! Othello becomes not only a prop introduced this week in Question Time #libspill From the Other Place.

Hastie too!

I respect Patricia Karvelas, but I'm going to vehemently disagree with the point just made that Taylor has played his cards close to his chest.

He's basically spent the last 9 months walking around with a bloody billboard behind him reading "I can't wait to be king!"

#AusPol #LibSpill

So Angus resigned but didn't call a #libspill Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus. Ha, what a gutless wonder!

So sorry for your loss ❤️

Is it on? More than likely! Remember to please send me any Shakespeare references you see in #libspill commentary and reporting. I'm working on something, probably a short form piece, but maybe a journal article as well. #auspol #shakespeare

Very sad to share the news of this legend of Australian political cartooning, and art. Dear Jon Kudelka has died, and we will be the poorer and more dull for his passing.
Sending love and condolences to his family.
What a legacy of scorching wit and joyful capturing of life he leaves.

Labor pressured over inflation as Hastie ponders attack strategies — as it happened Labor comes under pressure on interest rates and inflation in Question Time as Liberal MP Andrew Hastie turns to "the art of war" for inspiration.
