    Call for Papers: 37th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Western
    Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI May 2-5, 2002.

    "Thinking Medieval: Cognitive Science and Medieval Studies"
    This session will focus on ways in which the development of Cognitive
    Science impacts Medieval Studies. "Medieval Studies" is defined broadly
    here--papers may concern any medieval period, culture or language and
    should make use of or take up any branch of Cognitive Science applicable
    to the humanities. By "Cognitive Science" I mean to the work of such
    people as Steven Pinker, Marvin Minsky, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson,
    Jerry Fodor, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Humberto Maturana and Francisco
    Varela, N. Katherine Hayles, Mary Crane, and many others, on topics such
    as metaphor and figures of speech, mind and body, memory and imagination,
    aesthetics, narrative, cultural studies, history of science, science and
    literature, and so on. Proposals for collaborative or interdisciplinary
    papers especially welcome.

    Please send abstracts (email or snail-mail) before Sept. 15 to:
