ALT CfP: IMC, Leeds 2025 Post-National Philologies: New Approaches to Medieval Text Traditions Despite a burgeoning interest in global and comparative literary contexts, the hermeneutic frameworks of national philologies continue to shape how we as scholars approach historical narrative traditions from the medieval period and beyond. This session calls for a reassessment of these frameworks, by asking scholars to engage with new formats for studying historical literary traditions that transcend linguistic and cultural borders. We invite abstracts for papers that deploy innovative, interdisciplinary methods, theoretical frameworks, or tools to analyse cross-regional text traditions of the later medieval period. Texts may include but are not limited to romances, hagiographies, or advice literature of any kind. Papers should be 15-20 minutes. Please submit your abstract (250 words max), name, affiliation (if any), and contact details to Miriam Edlich-Muth at [email protected].

ALT Call for Papers: Workshop Methods in the Study of Medieval Text Traditions University of Düsseldorf, 5-6 September 2024 What can we learn from studying the widespread text traditions that traversed the different linguistic and cultural regions of late medieval Europe? And by what methods can we best understand the dynamics by which these text traditions were created and disseminated? This collaborative workshop is aimed at reassessing how we study pan-European narrative traditions from the medieval period. We would love to hear from scholars with a particular interest in applying innovative methodological approaches, both analogue and/ or digital, to the study of widespread medieval text traditions. Such text traditions might include but are not limited to romances, hagiography, or advice literature of any kind. Please submit a 300-word abstract for a 30-minute paper or roundtable session to [email protected].
