2025 International Congress on Medieval Studies (May 8 - 10, 2025)

More than 25 years ago, Robert LA Clark and Claire Sponsler argued in "Queer Play: the Cultural Work of Crossdressing in Medieval Drama" that "transgender and transstatus representations cannot be reduced to one simple meaning but rather perform a variety of...cultural work." We seek contributions to explore, expand and complicate the idea of transgender identities, trans bodies, transgressive practices, or other kinds of transformations or translations in medieval drama and performance. In 2025, how do we understand the shapeshifting nature of "trans"? What are the emerging questions and where do they lead us?

Cosmoramas and Other Peep Practices 1800-1880

Before virtual reality, peeping has long been a widespread media practice. Since the 18th century, the world has been presented in lensed and boxed apparatuses that aroused wonder and seduced audiences. Our contemporary culture of immersion was initially launched by peepshows and cosmoramas: one of the earliest media systems in Europe that produced and distributed views.
