Join Kavita Mudan Finn, Katie Garner, Jonathan Hsy, Bryant White and Vanessa Iacocca on 30th November 2023 for a fascinating roundtable on rethinking nineteenth-century medievalisms.
This roundtable event uncovers new paths in nineteenth-century medievalism studies research by applying transnational, postcolonial, and global frameworks. Analyzing negotiations of power, politics, and culture across national boundaries through transnational medievalisms and putting medievalism studies into greater conversation with disciplines such as Postcolonial Studies and Ethnic Studies, the presenters showcase—and seek to inspire—exciting, new possibilities for nineteenth-century medievalism studies beyond insular paradigms or “container culture” approaches.
Our speakers include Kavita Mudan Finn (Independent Scholar), Katie Garner (University of St Andrews), Jonathan Hsy (George Washington University), and Bryant White (Covenant College). Topics will focus on: the reception of queens in museums, tombs, and architecture; mermaid legends and British transnationalism; greater possibilities for engagement between nineteenth-century medievalism studies and Black and Asian American Studies; and monstrosity, colonialism, and travel narratives in the Belgian Congo. The event is chaired by Vanessa Iacocca (Young Harris College).
