DESCRIPTION:Organized and hosted by the Center for Medieval and Early Moder
 n Studies (CMEMS).\n\nBernardo Hinojosa (Stanford University) will give a 
 talk titled "A World in Motion: Physics\, Rhetoric\, and the Medieval Art 
 of Description"\n\nAs they offer readers imitable models for their own rhe
 torical and poetic compositions\, Bernard Silvester’s Cosmographia (c.11
 45-47) and Geoffrey of Vinsauf’s Poetria Nova (c.1208-13) develop a theo
 ry and practice of description that\, rather than suspend its object in ti
 me\, enables the imaginative rehearsal of a material world in flux. Reflec
 ting the growing currency of Aristotelian ideas and texts in the period\, 
 this mode of literary description illustrates the central premise of Arist
 otelian physics: that the causal relations of the changing sublunary world
  can be pictured and thus subjected to analysis and rationalization.\n\nTh
 e CMEMS Workshop series meets most Wednesdays during the academic year. Lu
 nch is provided. See the CMEMS website for the list of upcoming speakers.
