Medieval History
Mid America Medieval Association, Columbia, Missouri, 22 February 2014

When: February 22, 2014
Theme: The Global Middle Ages

the transferability of the concept of a "middle age" to non-European societies and economies post-colonial and/or comparative studies focusing on exchanges between Europe, Asia, and Africa book arts, preservation, calligraphy, paleography and codicology of non-western manuscripts the interdependency of pre-modern cultures travel accounts, maps, and other evidence of historical or imaginative cultural exchange global trade and representations of luxury goods such as ivory, spices, silks, ceramics, and jewels the influence of global cultures on European science, medicine, fashion, food, and art medieval European perceptions of African and Asian peoples and civilizations papers or sessions dedicated to the non-European locations (e.g. cities like Jerusalem or Timbuktu, or ³medieval² eras such as the Sui or Tang dynasties in China, the Heian/Kamakura eras in Japan, Moghul India, Fatamid/Abassid/Mamluk
periods)
