26. Global Medievalisms

Organizers: Anita Obermeier (aobermei@unm.edu) and Richard Utz

(richard.utz@lmc.gatech.edu)

Session format: Short papers via Zoom

This panel invites short papers exploring global medievalisms, focusing on cultural engagements with the Middle Ages after 1500. While the Arthurian Legend and Chaucer’s works have inspired diverse post-medieval adaptations including plays, musicals, fiction, poetry, film, rap, comic books, children’s literature, crime fiction, and games in the US and Europe, this session particularly welcomes papers examining interactions with the Middle Ages in regions beyond Europe and North America, including decolonizing and ironic revisions.
