One of my courses this year gave the option for a creative project instead of an essay. I decided to take everyone's favourite medieval emo, Thomas #Hoccleve, and translate him as a poet from the mid-2000s.
Cheer up, emo Hoccleve.
My Emo Complaint:
Also, for anyone who's into #Hoccleve, one of my projects was translating portions of "My Complaint" as an emo poem. It came out hilariously cringe and I loved it.
#RecoveryDay Thinking about Eli Clare’s Brilliant Imperfection (2017) & violence of cure & what #Hoccleve tells us re: cure/recovery. “Talking cure,” writing as cure, reading as cure? What's lost via cure? Is recovery not also a form of damage/loss?...
#RecoveryDay Check out medievalist Miriamne Krummel’s “Am I MS?” — 1st-person reflection on long-term disability & identity, opening w nod to reading #Hoccleve. Is your condition what makes you you? Is “condicioun” = event, process, temporality, affect? #medievaltwitter @chron_ac
#RecoveryDay #Hoccleve’s lament on scribal labor & effects (physical, mental, social) suggests a paradox of professional life: labor = necessary for livelihood, yet material & social conditions of labor = too often harmful #medievaltwitter @chron_ac...
#RecoveryDay Opening of #Hoccleve’s Series inverts Chaucer’s famous invocation of April & springtime renewal. A “broun sesoun” & “coluor of yellownesse” & suggest decay, yet it’s also a time of “chaunge and variaunce”—transition & transformation #medievaltwitter
#RecoveryDay Submitting my textbook orders for next semester & #Hoccleve is on the syllabus (seminar: #Disability & Form). Thinking a lot about #mentalhealth, chronic conditions, #selfcare & reading these days #medievaltwitter @chron_ac [thread to follow]

#Hoccleve #Recovery Day: Do #academic pursuits "re-cover" (put another layer) over the past, rather than "dis-covering" or "un-covering" it?
#Hoccleve #Recovery: How does digitization of #medieval archives let us re-access the past? What glitches/gaps/barriers do media present?

#Hoccleve #Recovery Day: what are the ethics of disclosure (of #disability/difference) in #academia? What are the ethics of passing?
