On 10th February, Dr Godelinde Perk gave a talk, Beginningless remaking in Julian of Norwich's Vernacular Theology.
Dr Perk is the Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow with the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages at the University of Oxford, and a research fellow with Somerville College. In this lecture, she argues that both how Julian’s text and thought evolve, and that they evolve, constitute ‘dissimilar similarities’. These are similitudes like and unlike the celestial glory they image of the beginingless, maternal remaking Julian ascribes to Christ. You can listen to Dr Perk's talk here. She has also put together a document with recommended reading which you can download here. |
