CFP SIM for 2015

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.
