ICMS 2020: Hortulus Session Call for Participants!

08 Thursday Aug 2019

Posted by hortuluseditors in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Hortulus: The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies is organizing a roundtable session for ICMS at Kalamazoo in 2020: ‘Graduate Student Publishing: A Roundtable on Publishing for Graduate Students and Early Career Researchers’

Please consider submitting an abstract by Friday, September 6th 2019

Roundtable Description:

Publishing while in graduate school, and as early career researchers, is increasingly expected as part of preparing for the current job market in higher education. Now more than ever graduate students need more direction and guidance on how to approach publishing during their graduate school years. This roundtable will address concerns, expectations, and advice for publishing in graduate school to speak to these important issues that are a part of the current graduate school and hiring climate, especially for medieval studies in higher education. The methodology for this session will be focused on providing speakers who have a spread of experience, primarily editors and writers who as graduate students have developed and published pieces of their work. But also, we would like to encourage participants who are editors and/or authors that have published and been involved in publishing as early career researchers and can address what they are looking for in new scholars and authors of publishable pieces.

Email abstract submissions to:

Call for Papers: Fall 2017 Themed Issue, “Interiority and Alterity”

09 Wednesday Aug 2017

Posted by hortuluseditors in Call for Papers, CFP, Themes

≈ Leave a comment

Hortulus: The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies is a refereed, peer-reviewed, and born-digital journal devoted to the culture, literature, history, and society of the medieval past. Published semi-annually, the journal collects exceptional examples of work by graduate students on a number of themes, disciplines, subjects, and periods of medieval studies. We also welcome book reviews of monographs published or re-released in the past five years that are of interest to medievalists. For the Fall issue we are particularly interested in reviews of books which fall under the current special topic.

Interiority refers to personal emotions, ideals, and beliefs in addition to self-reflection and inner consciousness. Recent scholarship in Cultural Studies asks how these elements of interiority may impact upon culture more broadly, and the extent to which culture impacts interiority. With alterity we refer not only to the state of being ‘other’ or different, but also to the study of how this difference is created. Within the framework of such study a mutual interrogation between center and periphery remains critical in order to prevent a reproduction of cycles of hegemony. In this context, the concepts of interiority and alterity both complement and contrast with each other: to echo Iain Chambers (himself echoing Heidegger), we refer to what unfolds towards us and away from us, to what both envelopes and exceeds us (“Signs of Silence, Lines of Listening”, The Postcolonial Question: Common Skies, Divided Horizons ed. I. Chambers and L. Curti, pp. 47-63 at p. 54).

For our Fall 2017 themed issue we invite proposals that critically engage with the concepts of interiority and alterity, both as separate concepts and in relation to each other. We hope to attract articles offering comparative and multidisciplinary perspectives, and welcome contributions from the fields of history, art history, literary scholarship, archeology, anthropology, or any other discipline that will contribute to our thinking about the application of these concepts and their broader theoretical contexts in the medieval period. We are particularly interested in submissions that take a more methodology-focused approach and those which engage with the materiality of interiority and alterity in the Middle Ages. Hortulus additionally suggests that contributors familiarize themselves with the current scholarship surrounding the use of the terms ‘Otherness’ and alterity.

Contributions should be in English and roughly 6,000–12,000 words, including all documentation and citational apparatus; book reviews are typically between 500-1,000 words but cannot exceed 2,000. All notes must be endnotes, and a bibliography must be included; submission guidelines can be found here. Contributions may be submitted to hortulus[at]hortulus-journal[dot]com and are due 25 September 2017. If you are interested in submitting a paper but feel you would need additional time, please send a query email and details about an expected time-scale for your submission. Queries about submissions or the journal more generally can also be sent to this address.

 

Call For Papers: International Congress on Medieval Studies (Kalamazoo) 2018: “Innovative Technologies”

26 Wednesday Jul 2017

Posted by hortuluseditors in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

As a born-digital journal created and run entirely by a rotating staff of graduate students, Hortulus concerns itself deeply and directly with innovative technologies used within Medieval Studies. The roundtable for the ICMS 2018, Modern Responses to the Medieval, will interrogate this topic from two points. Firstly, what can we learn today from medieval attitudes towards novelty and innovative technologies? And, secondly, in what ways can we innovate by drawing on medieval sources? Recent studies, for example, have attested the usefulness of drawing upon medieval medical recipes in modern medicine, as in the case of a recipe from Bald’s Leechbook which led to the creation of a new antibiotic. In addition, relationships between medieval (celestial/geographic) cartography and digital cartography might prove useful, as do new examinations of medieval science, such as the Ordered Universe project, which analyses the writings of the medieval scholar Robert Grosseteste and its relevance to quantum theory. Panellists are also encouraged to engage with the introduction of postmodern ideas into medieval studies; especially those that are innovative at the moment (e.g. robotics, cyborgs, AI, technoculture).

The session organizers wish to bring people together to share experiences, compare approaches, as well as discuss potentials and potential problems. We invite papers that explore efforts to apply innovative technologies to the field of Medieval Studies, but also those which both explore and challenge innovations which apply medieval strategies to modern problems. The session will be structured as a roundtable with a series of short ten- and fifteen-minute papers (the number and duration to be determined depending on response), with ample time for discussion.

Please send abstracts of no more than a page, along with a current CV and the Participation Information Form to Gwendolyne Knight and Ryan Lawrence at hortulus@hortulus-journal.com by September 10, and sooner if possible.

Please feel free to circulate this CFP.
