アンソニー・ベイル/ ダコスタ吉村花子訳『中世トラベルガイド』(河出書房新社) 読了

歴史学者である著者が旅行記などから中世の旅とはどのようなものだったのかを描き出す。とはいえ中世の旅行記には行ったこともないのに想像で書いたものもあるので注意が必要w 旅の目的は巡礼と交易が主だったようで(旅があまりに苦難の連続なので物見遊山の旅人が少ないのは当然だ)、巡礼ならヨーロッパからエルサレム、交易であればもっと東方(インドや中国)までの旅が紹介されている。時折はさまれる旅の注意や、作法などのコラムが楽しい。それにしても、落書きしたり、記念物の石を削り取って持ち帰ったり、人間はあまり変わらないのねw

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.

Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

Delighted that my article 'Thinking with the Renegade' has been published in JMEMS, tracing the history of the 'renegade' as a figure in English culture. It is part of my @leverhulme.ac.uk funded project on cultural representations of Ottomans and others around the Siege of Rhodes 1480
Thinking with the Renegade: Politics of Conversion and Ambiguity of Identity in the Later Middle Ages
The figure of the renegade has often been considered an early modern invention, but the noun renegade and associated verbs entered the English language in the fourteenth century to describe figures wh...

Just a reminder that in the midst of waves of anti-migrant, anti-refugee and anti-asylum-seeker rhetoric and activism, there are also many charities working quietly, stoically and hard to fuel a better conversation and a better future. Actively supporting them makes a difference.
