Echoes of the past: Myth, Memory, Foundation
Medieval narratives overflow with recursivity and obsessions with the past. This panel invites papers that consider the ways medieval narratives respond and return to their origins, repeat myths of foundations, consider their own beginnings and endings, perform memory and forgetting, and explore the way the past echoes through the present.
