Medieval History
new journal: postmedieval
The inaugural issue of
postmedieval is now available in print and online. ?When did we become post/human??, a double, themed issue edited by Eileen A. Joy and Craig Dionne, features nearly 30 short essays from leading medieval scholars, with responses from Andy Mousley, Kate Soper and N. Katherine Hayles.
Palgrave Macmillan, the publisher, has this to say about the new publication: "postmedieval: a journal of medieval cultural studies is a cross-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in medieval studies that aims to bring the medieval and modern into productive critical relation. The journal will work to develop a present-minded medieval studies in which contemporary events, issues, ideas, problems, objects, and texts serve as triggers for critical investigations of the Middle Ages. Further, we are concerned to illuminate the deep historical structures?mental, linguistic, social, cultural, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, and the like?that underlie contemporary thought and life, and therefore, we are also interested in attending to the question of the relation of the medieval to the modern (and vice versa) in different times and places. We want to also demonstrate the important value of medieval studies and the longest possible historical perspectives to the ongoing development of contemporary critical and cultural theories that remain under-historicized. Finally, we will advocate for and support the continuing development, from any and all disciplinary directions, of historicist, materialist, comparatist, and theoretical approaches to the subjects of the Middle Ages."
