Call for Papers: Vagantes Graduate Medieval Conference
*******************************************
VAGANTES is an annual, travelling conference for graduate students
studying any aspect of the Middle Ages. The conference was conceived
with several goals in mind, including the fostering of a sense of
community among graduate medievalists, providing exposure to an
interdisciplinary forum, and showcasing the resources of the host
institutions -- all kept within a student budget.
The 5th conference will be hosted by the Graduate Medievalists at UC
BERKELEY from March 2-5, 2006.

CALL FOR PAPERS – KALAMAZOO 2005 (and edited
collection)
We are still looking for participants for the Medieval
Congress at Kalamazoo in 2005. Selected papers in the
two sessions are expected to be published in books
forthcoming by editing members of MEMO (MEDIEVAL
ELECTRONIC MEDIA ORGANIAZATION).
The Rountable Discussion is open to others who are
publishing on this very exciting topic.
I. The Medieval in Motion: Negotiating
Definitions of "Neomedievalism"
II. Video Game Pedagogy: Theory and Cases
III. Book Publishing in a Neomedieval Universe: A
Roundtable Discussion
The New Contemplative Review, a journal formed to promote scholarship on the interface between culture and spirituality, seeks articles for its second issue, on Catholicism, due to appear in January 2005. It is hoped that this issue will explore themes relating to the histories, spiritualities, ideologies and material constructions of Catholicism in both past and contemporary cultures: subjectivity and meaning, as well as ideology, faith and questioning, bodies and the Church, medieval and medievalist accounts of Catholicism: issues of power and relationship between Catholics and non-Catholics: the Catholic Church in fiction and life-writing: the public presence of the Church in past and present.
CFP: Moral Chaucer? Ethical Theory and the Premodern Text (9/15/04;
collection)
A forthcoming collection of essays seeks to (re)engage the question of
"moral Chaucer."
Chaucer's immediate successors credited him with "pleasance" coupled
with "sentence," and some compared him with the great moral
philosophers Aristotle, Cicero, and Seneca. For later generations
Chaucer would come to be distinguished for his geniality and ironic
detachment in sharp contrast to the dogmatism and dullness of so many
contemporary moralists. Only recently (notwithstanding the exegetical
criticism of the mid-twentieth-century) have critics begun to
re-examine and describe Chaucer's "ethics."
