CFP: The Comparative Middle Ages (9/15/04; Kalamazoo, 5/5/05-5/8/05)

Call for Papers: "The Comparative Middle Ages"

Hortulus, the on-line graduate student journal for medieval studies, seeks
abstracts for 20 minute papers to be delivered at the 40th International
Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University
(http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/) from May 5-8, 2005.

In keeping with recent scholarly discussions regarding comparative,
interdisciplinary, or multidisciplinary approaches to scholarship, graduate
education, and pedagogy, we seek papers dealing with the Middle Ages from a
comparative stance and especially invite papers that present new approaches
or perspectives to medieval studies that interact with and elaborate on the
multivalent cultural production of the Middle Ages.

Papers in this session might examine issues of (re-)territorialization of
disciplinary boundaries, communication of theories and methodologies,
(developing) pedagogy in Medieval Studies, or simply the elucidation of
material from one field through evidence in other fields.

Please address inquiries and abstracts by September 15 to:

Editor, Kalamazoo_at_hortulus.net
