Over at In the Middle, a couple of interesting reports on the Animal, Vegetable, Mineral: Ethics and Objects in the Medieval and Early Modern Periods conference.

Eileen Joy on Jane Bennett’s keynote here – The audio of the lecture “Powers of the Hoard: Notes on Material Agency” can be found here as (audiofile – stream or download).

And Jeffrey Jerome Cohen on the conference as a whole – here. Jonathan Gil Harris’s concluding comments are posted here.

Sounds like a good one. Great that the audio of at least Jane’s lecture is available.
