BAA at the Leeds IMC 2023 – Call for Papers
I am happy to announce that I am now welcoming paper proposals for BAA organised sessions at the 2023 International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds (3rd-6th July 2023).
The IMC’s research theme for 2023 is “Networks and Entanglements”, a topic which can be interpreted in numerous ways:
- Social, economic, or political networks within and between medieval societies
- Intellectual communities and networks of knowledge
- Religious networks and formations
- Spatial networks, architectures, and infrastructures
- Ecologies of connected, related, and entangled species
- Entanglements through artefacts and communities of practice and consumption
- Artistic networks and entangled iconographies and soundscapes
- Medieval and modern concepts of connectivity and interdependency
- Medieval and modern visualisations of entanglements and networks
- Medieval practices of networking
- Transnational, transregional, and trans-border networks
- Entanglements between the global and the local
- Narrative networks, literary and imagined entanglements
- Networks, mobilities, circulations, and flows, both real and fictitious
- Gendered networks: interconnections, relationships, and entanglements
- Network constraints, rules, and social roles
- Inclusion and exclusion through networks
- Identities, ego-networks, and emotional communities
- Network theory and complexity in medieval studies
- Digital humanities, linked data, and data ontologies
- Networks and networking in medieval scholarship past and present
- Ranges, limits, stability, and fragility of networks
A full list of suggested topics and more details can be found here: https://www.imc.leeds.ac.uk/imc-2023/
It is hoped that we can organise several sessions, with similar papers grouped together (either methodologically or by subject).
*Before submitting a proposal, please ensure you have familiarised yourself with the conference fees and bursaries for the IMC, details of which are available here: https://www.imc.leeds.ac.uk/register/
