Appel à communications : The Games of Medievalism

La conférence annuelle de l’International Society for the Study of Medievalism, ayant pour thème “The Games of Medievalism“, se déroulera à Montclair et South Orange (New Jersey, Etats-Unis) et en visio, du 9 au 11 juillet 2024.

Date limite d’envoi des propositions : 20 février 2024.

Abstracts are welcomed for the thirty-seventh annual conference of the International Society for the Study of Medievalism, co-sponsored by Montclair State and Seton Hall Universities, located in northern New Jersey, 14 miles from New York City (accessible by public transit). Abstracts for in-person and virtual papers and panels are welcome. To propose a panel, please include all abstracts in a single file submitted by the organizer. This file should also include the names and contact information for all participants.  

Celebrating games and sport in this Olympic summer and considering the various kinds of play inherent in Medievalism, the conference will consider the discipline’s many layers. We will arrange local visits (as interest permits) for those participating in person: to the New Jersey branch of Medieval Times, the Yogi Berra Museum, the Montclair Art Museum, and/or The Cloisters branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Housing options will include low-cost single or double accommodations on the campus of Montclair State University (circa $50-60/night) and room blocks in local hotels. 

We welcome papers and presentations on all topics of Medievalism, not limited to the conference theme.  We enthusiastically welcome proposals from presenters in (or addressing topics related to) regions outside North American, Western Europe, and the Anglophone World.
