The (Post)Medieval Imaginary
The (Post)Medieval Imaginary
58th International Congress on Medieval Studies
May 11-13, 2023
CALL FOR PAPERS
This virtual ICMS session encourages participants to consider constructions of the medieval past in the Middle Ages and after, particularly as manifested in the interactions between the medieval(ist) literature, historiography, and/or material culture of postmedieval periods. Juxtaposing papers that engage with one or more historical periods, this session will reopen debates about the problems and possibilities of periodization while illuminating how medievalists and postmedieval scholars can productively collaborate across period boundaries.
