Poole heads online Renaissance resource | Poole heads online Renaissance resource | ;kpoole;mkray;monicadt;jyates; | 3/17/2023 4:00:00 AM | | <p>ā<strong>Kristen Poole</strong>, Ned B. Allen Professor of English, is the general editor ofĀ <a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/rrorw/?context=rrorw" title="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/rrorw/?context=rrorw">Routledge Resources Online - The Renaissance World</a>Ā currently
available to the public, with a full launch schedule for summer 2023.
Poole began working with Routledge in 2017 to create this large-scale
digital platform that includes essays on the global Renaissance from
scholars across the disciplinary spectrum, including UD faculty <strong>Meredith K. Ray</strong>, Elias Ahuja Professor of Italian; <strong>MĆ³nica DomĆnguez Torres</strong>, professor of art history with a joint appointment in Latin American and Iberian studies; and <strong>Julian Yates</strong>,
H. Fletcher Brown Professor of English, among experts drawn from other
institutions. āāRenaissanceā is itself a fraught term, as is the very
question of how, or even whether, to divide the past into discrete eras.
Our authors do not hold a monolithic notion of āRenaissanceā as a
clearly defined time or movement. This resource invites a fresh take on
the period by emphasizing its movement and intersectionāthe travel of
people, ideas and objects,ā Poole says.ā</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=293 | |

addition to hosting one of the largest international festivals for
graphic novels, the museum organizes yearly meetings for researchers in
the medium. Oanceaās paper discussed the representation of Suzanne NoĆ«l,
early 20th-century plastic surgeon and engaged feminist, in a bande
dessinĆ©e written by LeĆÆla Slimani and illustrated by ClĆ©ment Oubrerie.
She analyzed the narrative and visual techniques the text employs to
construct the protagonistās medical expertise. She paid particular
attention to the depiction of World War I soldiers with facial injuries.
The paper draws on her research specialization in the intersection of
science and literature in France in the long 19th century.Ā Ā ā<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87;L0|#0d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87|Presentations;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=247 | |

employ a variety of theoretical approaches to analyze popular game
series and individual titles, introducing an English-speaking audience
to Japanese videogame scholarship while also extending postcolonial and
philosophical readings to the Japanese game text. In a three-pronged
approach, the collection uses these analyses to look at genre,
representation and liminality, engaging with a multitude of concepts
including stereotypes, intersectionality and the political and social
effects of JRPGs on players and industry conventions.āā</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=170 | |
