Why Europe? Why the Nation
Medievalists in the Mirror
In 1925, the Medieval Academy was hastily incorporated to launch a journal whose title, Speculum, mirrored a distinctively American medievalism. Rooted in an ideology of “Anglo-Saxon” exceptionalism dating back to the colonial era, this engagement with the medieval past was both strengthened and complicated by the emergence of the United States as a global power. By 1920, the devastation of European cultural patrimony and intellectual networks op…
Death and Disease in the Medieval and Early Modern World
Practices of Commentary
Medieval Sicily, Al-Andalus, and the Maghrib
Medieval Fictions vs. the Fetish of Modernity
Odd that fiction would be yet another invention claimed for modernity. Yes, that's the way modernity's game is played; and still I marvel that our modernist colleagues never seem tired of playing it, or insisting on the ontology of their favorite fetish. Julie Orlemanski and Michelle Karnes contest this modernist heuristic and insist instead on fiction's contingency and the crucial role of the reader in its determination, thereby helping to disma…
Seals - Making and Marking Connections Across the Medieval World
By placing medieval sealing practices in a global and comparative perspective, the essays gathered in this volume challenge the traditional understanding of seals as tools of closure and validation in use since the dawn of civilization. Far from being a universal technique, sealing is revealed as a flexible idiom, selectively deployed to mediate entangled identities: the introduction of Buddhism in early medieval China; the Islamization of Sasani…
Doing Things beside Domesday Book
Liturgical Texts and Performance Practices
This chapter focuses on the problematic relationship between medieval texts and contemporary performance practices in the many contexts that could be considered 'liturgical'. It provides the nature of liturgical texts and their relationship to performance at the centre of inquiry. The chancy survival of liturgical texts has been stressed: the readers have noted how accident and negligence or reliance on oral tradition and improvisation can affect…

Popular Literacies and the First Historians of the First Crusade
The earliest histories of the First Crusade were informed by the testimonies of combatants who aligned their experiences with available historical models, especially the master narrative of sacred history. Within a few years of the Christian occupation of Jerusalem, and several years before elite monastic chroniclers began their work, laymen and clerics who had participated in the crusade were producing narratives that circulated in small booklet…

Pandemic Disease in the Medieval World

When We Talk about Modernity
SOME MODERN PEOPLE HAVE DISCOVERED a new world. Its people are not like Modern people. Their society seems primitive, their intelligence undeveloped, their emotions excessive. Their lack of Modernity clearly justifies their subjugation. Colonization begins, with the seizure of un-Modern property facilitated by the legal and moral arguments of Modern intellectuals. In the process, some un-Modern elites unwittingly facilitate their own eradication;…
