CFP: Medieval Intermedialities (Session ID: 6064)
International Congress on Medieval Studies
Kalamazoo, MI
May 8-10, 2025

This (virtual) ICMS session welcomes papers that consider forms of intermediality in medieval art, literature, and culture, asking what it means to apply theories of intermediality to the study of the Middle Ages. To what extent can (or should) the Middle Ages be understood as an intermedial culture? In what ways do medieval people leverage intermediality in creative productions? How do contemporary forms of mediation and intermediality (digital, archival, institutional, editorial, artistic) inflect our study of the medieval? What might medievalists contribute to intermedial theory? Potential topics include: objects/artworks that combine words and images; mixed-form literary productions; architectural spolia; postmedieval intermedial artefacts.

Paper proposals due via the ICMS conference portal by September 15th, 2024.
