The Medieval of the Long Now
As decades turn to centuries to millennia, the contemporary relationship with the past is increasingly medieval. This article takes the perspective of extreme long-term thinking to reexamine how medieval studies can interact with more contemporary fields. How might scholars share the “now” with each other and with their predecessors from other millennia? And how might this perspective transform racial epistemologies? Inspired by the millennial th…
Chaucer and the future of world literature
Translations of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales raise timely questions for World Literature and the discipline of Comparative Literature. Chaucer exemplifies tensions at the heart of literary study under globalization: local particularities are highly valued in a global marketplace even as global circulation demands universal appeal. This afterword explores this tension by assessing Chaucer's place in World Literature anthologies alongsid…
The last syllable of modernity’: Chaucer in the Caribbean
The Song of Roland: How the Middle Ages Aren’t Old
“ The Song of Roland : How the Middle Ages Aren’t Old” describes how a medieval epic can illuminate not only oppressive imperial histories but also contain resistance and critique. By highlighting the tension between hegemonic claims and hybrid practices, students become attuned to the ongoing circulation of divisive discourses and also learn ways to identify openings for mutuality. I propose several ways for instructors to expand their engagemen…
Shimmering philology
Classicism, Medievalism, and the Postcolonial
Creole Medievalism: Colonial France and Joseph Bédier's Middle Ages
A Network-Individual-Resource Model for HIV Prevention
The Noise of Roland
Post-Philology
Philology has been more often irrelevant than controversial within mainstream critical debates. With the expansion of electric technologies and the fragmentation of the nationalist disciplines that first nurtured philology, its demise may seem more certain than ever. Indeed, Roberta Frank has pointed out that some dictionaries boldly declare that the word is no longer in use. Many, it would seem, have taken to heart René Wellek’s advice “to aband…
Introduction: Postcolonial Modernity and the Rest of History
Postcolonial studies have often based their critiques of colonialism on critiques of modernity. As a result, they tend to limit their purview to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Postcolonial Moves challenges these conventional limits by questioning prevailing assumptions about periodization. We take inspiration in our own critique of modernity’s role in postcolonial studies from R. Radhakrishan’s “Postmodernism and the Rest of the World.” …
Joking with the Enemy: Beyond Ritual in the Ordene de chevalerie
Memory out of Line: Hebrew Etymology in the Roman de Brut and Merlin
Currently, hyphens are commonly used to define ethnic identities of multiple origins. In the Middle Ages, multilingual etymologies served a similar function by narrating linguistic histories derived from more than one cultural tradition. Analyzing the Hebrew-French etymologies presented in Wace's Roman de Brut (c. 1155, Cernel) and the Merlin (c. 1230, Escalibor), this essay places French-language narratives of British history in dialogue with th…
