We learned
of a Call for Papers for the Leeds International Medieval Congress (full CfP here), and also
specifically for those working on Irish medieval history. Here the call from
the colleagues at Trinity College Dublin:
Every other year a large cohort of Trinity College
Dublin medievalists go to Leeds. It is that time again, but this time, we want
to include everyone. If you research any aspect of medieval Ireland or the Irish
Sea Region, if you are based in Ireland (UCD, QUB, Galway, etc.), if you study intercultural,
interregnal, interregional, international, or comparative aspects, if you like
beer, or even if you don’t like beer, you should submit a paper to one of our
sessions!
The IMC’s theme for next year is ‘Borders’. This can
include:
● Borders between medieval polities (e.g. Eóganacht
and Dál Cais, Dubh Linn and Uí
Chennselaig, or the Countship of Ulster and Tír
Chonaill)
● Borders between cultures (e.g. Differences between
food culture of the Cineál Conaill
and Dál Riada)
● Temporal borders (e.g. ‘late antique’ versus ‘early
medieval’, or ‘late medieval’ versus
early modern’)
● Liminal people crossing anyone of the previous types
of borders
● Borders between medieval societies and modern
conceptions of them (e.g. ‘was the
Rí Temrach really the ‘high-king of Ireland’?’)
● Comparisons between regions (e.g. tenth-century
Tuadmuman with tenth-century
Italy)
● Borders created by studying medieval Continental
history in Ireland, or by studying
medieval ‘Ireland’ on the Continent
● A great discovery that you made that has nothing to
do with ‘borders’
● A funny pun relating to your research that you just
thought of
Please send an abstract of no more than 150 words (50
is also fine) to Stephen Hewer
hewers@tcd.ie by
31 August 2019. It is customary for the title and topic of your paper to
change before July 2020, so don’t worry too much about that.
