Call for Submissions:
Studies in Medievalism XXIV (2015)
http://medievalism.net/sim.html
Studies in Medievalism, a peer-reviewed print and on-line publication, seeks 3,000-word essays on how medievalism supports, parallels, resists, complicates, disrupts, denies, or otherwise relates to modernity. How, if at all, do postmedieval responses to a middle ages intersect with the respondent’s and/or our assumptions about absolute and/or relative modernity? How have the terms “medievalism” and “modernity” come to be defined in relationship to each other? Authors are encouraged to structure their essays around one or more examples and to consider not only whether medievalism could exist without modernity but also whether modernity could exist without medievalism. Please remember that our wide-ranging audience comprises generalists as well as specialists, and please send submissions in English and Word to Karl Fugelso (kfugelso@towson.edu) by August 1, 2015. Please follow the Style Sheet (http://medievalism.net/2014SIMStyleSheet.pdf) when preparing your submission for consideration.
Studies in Medievalism is the oldest academic journal dedicated entirely to the study of post-medieval images and perceptions of the Middle Ages. It accepts articles on both scholarly and popular works, with particular interest in the interaction between scholarship and re-creation. Its aim is to promote the interdisciplinary study of medievalism as a contemporary cultural phenomenon. Originally published privately, Studies in Medievalism is currently published by Boydell & Brewer, Ltd..

Call for Papers: Mapping Medievalisms
The 30th Annual Conference on Medievalism
International Society for Studies in Medievalism
October 2nd - 4th , 2015
at the Doubletree Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA
Plenary Address by Susan Aronstein, University of Wyoming, author of Hollywood Knights: Arthurian Cinema and the Politics of Nostalgia, Medieval British Arthurian Narrative, and co-author of The Disney Middle Ages: A Fairy Tale and Fantasy Past.
Each day we are flooded with increasingly dire predictions for the death of the humanities and the corporatization of the university, as politicians slash education funding and rail about the uselessness of the liberal arts. How, in this rapidly-shifting landscape, do we plot a course for medievalism studies, a (relatively) new but recently thriving field that depends so much on the institutions and ideas currently under attack?
The 30th anniversary of the International Conference on Medievalism is a perfect opportunity for investigation, self-reflection, and ‘mapping’ our field: assessing where we have been and plotting new courses and new territories to explore. Although we welcome all contributions on medievalism, we are especially interested in proposals that imagine redrawing the map of the university, the liberal arts, or the humanities through Medievalism Studies as well as those that forge new paths for Medievalism Studies through an alchemical mixture of old and new, combining the traditions of humanities research with the innovations that will help it to survive.
Possibilities include (but are not limited to):
• Digital medievalisms
• Medievalism and the university
• Ecomedievalisms
• Interdisciplinary medievalisms
• Medievalism and iconic symbolism
• Multi-genre medievalisms
• A new ethics for medievalism
• Medievalism and globalization
• Geographical medievalisms
• Medievalism and the new oligarchy
• Serf's Up! Medievalism and contingent faculty
We welcome both abstracts for 15-20 minute papers and proposals for sessions both traditional and innovative. Session proposals or abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent before June 5, 2015 to Lauryn Mayer at lmayer@washjeff.edu.

Middle Ages in the Modern World Conference (UK 6/29-7/2/15)
Been meaning to post this all month:
From H-Announce
https://www.h-net.org/announce/show.cgi?ID=221593
MAMO2015 Medievalism Conference
Location: United Kingdom
Conference Date: 2015-06-29
Date Submitted: 2015-03-30
Announcement ID: 221593
The registration for our forthcoming conference, the Middle Ages in the Modern World (MAMO2015) is now open. Early bird registration closes on 29th May 2015.
Following the success of MAMO 2013, held at St Andrews last year, we are proud to announce that a follow-up conference will be held from Monday 29th June to Thursday 2nd July 2015 at the University of Lincoln. It will also be held in conjunction with Lincoln’s celebrations of the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, where Lincoln’s own copy of the Magna Carta will have returned and be back proudly on display in the castle.
As the title suggests, MAMO aims to explore the continued return to, and relevance of, the Middle Ages in the modern world, and why the period continues to attract audiences and scholars. Particularly, its interdisciplinary focus is designed to explore a range of areas, from popular culture to public history, from science to advertising, and even legal frameworks and political rhetoric. Given the popularity of medievalism as a growing discipline, and given the fantastic reception of the last conference, we are expecting a wide audience from a range of fields and disciplines including History, Literature, Film & Television, Video Games, Performing Arts, Drama, Languages, Museum Curation and more besides.
The provisional programme, and info on keynotes is available at www.themamo.org, as well as links to the conference registration page and our social networks.
We hope to see you in Lincoln!
