Theme: The Medieval in Cyberspace
From Beowulf on Steorarume to contemporary novels (in e-text form), films, and video games: the medieval has been represented in digital form on the World Wide Web since the late 1990s. This conference invites proposals for papers, paper sessions, round tables, panels, and workshops that celebrate, rebuke, categorize, visualize, analyze, and/or prophesize all items that contain elements of the medieval to be found on the Internet. However, we invite papers and presentations on all topics of medievalism, not limited to this year’s conference theme. We particularly welcome proposals from presenters in (or addressing topics related to) regions outside North America, Western Europe, and the Anglophone world.
Topic Suggestions:
- Medieval Studies Online
- Medieval Pedagogy Online
- Medievalism and Online Politics
- Medievalism and Propaganda
- Medievalism and Religion Online
- Digital Facsimiles of the Medieval
- The Business Philosophy of Medievalism
