(Un)doing History: A Case for Epistemological Alterity
This article addresses two primary tensions that currently beset medieval history. The first concerns a contentious debate within the field regarding the relative merits of two interpretative approaches: that which seeks to situate the Middle Ages within a narrative of continuity wherein aspects of the medieval bear some relationship of familiarity with the present and that which accords a radical alterity to the past that instigates moments of h…

It was possible for race to become the organizing principle around which to delineate human variation at that moment when…
