We are happy to announce the latest installment of the University Libraries podcast series entitled: Zet Forward. This podcast entitled: “Medievalisms In A Global Age,” with guest scholars, Co-Editor Angela Weisl, Ph.D. and key contributor Rachael Warmington, M.A.
This broadcast features Professor and Chair of the Department of English, Dr. Angela Weisl, who has an extensive knowledge not only of Medieval Literature, but also Women and Literature, Chaucer, and the History of Language among other related interests.
Author, Professor Rachael Warmington currently serves as Head of the Digital Humanities Faculty Learning Community which is part of the Center for Faculty Development on campus who has also taught specialty courses including: “Great Books of the Western World,” “Business Writing,” and “Writing Workshop: Research and Analysis” among others.
Their collaboration yielded a full-length edited work that connects various expert perspectives into one well-developed volume. As their publisher noted that the content found within this book:
“Discusses contemporary medievalism in studies ranging from Brazil to West Africa, from Manila to New York. Across the world, revivals of medieval practices, images, and tales flourish as never before. The essays collected here, informed by approaches from Global Studies and the critical discourse on the concept of a “Global Middle Ages”, explore the many facets of contemporary medievalism: post-colonial responses to the enforced dissemination of Western medievalisms, attempts to retrieve pre-modern cultural traditions that were interrupted by colonialism, the tentative forging of a global ‘medieval’ imaginary from the world’s repository of magical tales and figures, and the deployment across borders of medieval imagery for political purposes.”
You can find this podcast at: Podcast @ Seton Hall University.
Further details connected to this work can be found via the Boydell & Brewer Publications House Homepage. A physical volume of Medievalisms In A Global Age (Cambridge, England: Boydell & Brewer, 2024) is ready for circulation and can be found within the Main Collection of the University Libraries, specifically within the Faculty Publications section located on the Second Floor of Walsh Library.
