Session Information
Released in 2021, David Lowery’s film The Green Knight thrust the medieval romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight into the spotlight like never before and attracted the attention of viewers and critics across the globe. Scholars of medieval literature and film have also been inspired by the film’s release, and there is now a flourishing field of The Green Knight Studies as displayed in articles, books, conferences, essays, special issues, and themed sessions. However, all of this attention on Lowery’s work creates a limited understanding of the full post-medieval afterlife of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
We propose this session as a counter to the flurry of attention on Lowery’s work. The Green Knight is merely one example of a much wider array of adaptations of the story that began in the sixteenth century with The Greene Knight and continues to this day with comics, drama, fiction, film, games, illustration, music, opera, picture books, radio broadcasts, and television programming. Beyond these, aspects of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight have been appropriated by many creative artists and integrated into their own creations in various media. Collectively, these adaptations and appropriations make up a rich textual tradition for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight that now extends over five centuries and deserves more notice.
Our intent in this session is twofold:
First, to uncover what we lose by focusing on Lowery’s film outside of the larger context of adaptation and appropriations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
Second, to highlight what can be added to the larger fields of Arthurian Studies and Pearl-Poet Studies by widening our view of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to include further or other adaptations and appropriations of the text in our research and teaching.
Submissions should address at least one (if not both) of the following questions:
What other adaptations and appropriations do we miss by focusing on Lowery’s film?
What do we gain (for the disciple, our students, and/or ourselves) when we look beyond it?
Thank you for your interest in our session. Please address questions and/or concerns to the organizers at MedievalinPopularCulture@gmail.com.
Submissions will also be considered as part of an essay collection on the theme.
Please see the full call for details on submission information to the conference site.

Session Information
According to a recent search of the Grand Comics Database, creators of comic books and graphic novels have produced approximately five thousand comics directly based on or inspired by the Robin Hood tradition. These comics span over one hundred years and come from at least ten countries; however, the true scope of Hood’s influence on the medium appears much larger. A variety of archers, both heroes and villains, also feature within the pages of comics, and some, such as DC Comics’s Green Arrow, have even made the transition to the screen. In addition, Hood and his fellows have also frequented cartoons, comic strips, and manga, although their adventures there remain largely uncatalogued.
Of this vast array of comics and related media, relatively little of the corpus seems known to enthusiasts of the Matter of the Greenwood. Although Robin Hood scholars (working since the 1990s) have started to share some comics, much work still remains to be done to more fully assess the world of Sherwood Forest depicted in their panels. Therefore, in this co-sponsored session, we hope to create a deeper connection between Robin Hood Studies and Comics Studies to highlight items from this rich corpus and provide ideas and reflections on how to find, access, and employ Robin-Hood-themed comics in our classrooms and research.
Applicants to the roundtable are invited to revise their work for publication in a special issue of the open-access journal The Bulletin of the International Association for Robin Hood Studies.
Thank you for your interest in our session. Please address questions and/or concerns to the organizers at Comics.Get.Medieval@gmail.com.

Session Information
Medieval monsters and ideas about them remain at the base of many of our modern conceptions of monsters and the monstrous, but few studies have explored the tracks of these ongoing traditions for representing monstrosities in the post-medieval world. It is our intention in this session to shed some light on these creations and their impact today.
We seek in this panel to unite the fields of Medieval Studies, Medievalism Studies, Monster Studies, and Popular Culture Studies to highlight the links between medieval monstrosities and their post-medieval incarnations and successors.
We hope presenters will explore both continuity and change in addressing how terrors rooted in the medieval world have been portrayed beyond the Middle Ages and/or how modern monstrosities seem to draw indirectly from medieval traditions.

The Arthurian story is one of rise, fall, and promised return.
In this panel, we’d like to focus, in part, on the end of Camelot to explore the events and interactions that caused its downfall in texts both medieval and post-medieval.
Related to this, we are also interested in tales from across the ages that move Arthurian elements across space and time, where, as once and future devices and figures, the relics and members of Arthur’s court are pitted against new threats endangering the realm and/or the world at large.

Session Rationale
How Interdisciplinary Can We Be? (Re)Conceiving the Scope of Medieval Studies Today (A Roundtable) (virtual)
Through recent contact with medieval scholars, we've been hearing from individuals (many outside literature or history departments) who are excluded from current conversations in Medieval Studies. Their work is as valid as anyone else’s, but, because of the approach, they are unsupported by the larger community of medievalists. In organizing this session, we wish to expand the focus of Medieval Studies beyond the currently expected fields and to highlight the ways that other disciplines (including those outside the humanities) can contribute to discussion and debate about the medieval past as well as the post-medieval reception of the era.
Explorations might come from anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, comparative studies, engineering, folklore, genetics, linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, technology, etc. Other perspectives might highlight concerns from humanities scholars outside Medieval Studies who also feel left out.

Session Objective
Creating Camelot(s): The Idea of Community in Arthurian Texts (virtual)
Although we often refer to the Matter of Britain as the Arthurian tradition, the figure of King Arthur is merely the center point of the story. The tales are in fact about the community that Arthur builds and the ways those inside it (and outside as well) interact with each other. Through Arthur and those he surrounds himself with, Camelot becomes a living thing, and we experience its birth, maturity, and death, as well as its re-creation across the ages.
In this session, we’d like to highlight the multiple ways that Arthur’s realm has been constructed from the Middle Ages to the present. Submissions can explore the Arthurian legends from across time and/or space as represented through diverse genres and media.

Presentations might highlight and engage with examples of the medieval in comics, drama, fiction, film, games, manga, memes, music, politics, streaming video, television programming, and/or translations. Other approaches are also welcome.

Comics Get Medieval 2023: New Work on the Comics Medium in Medieval Studies (virtual)
Sponsoring Organization: Medieval Comics Project
Organizers: Michael A. Torregrossa, Richard Scott Nokes, and Carl Sell
The comics medium offers a wealth of material of relevance to medievalists from comic-like art and illustrations created during the Middle Ages to cartoons, comics, and related media designed in post-medieval times.
Comics from the medieval era present unique insights into the past and allow us to forge a connection with those that lived and worked then through a now-familiar artform.
Meanwhile, modern comics with medieval themes adapt, appropriate, and transform the medieval, allowing present-day creators to bring history, legends, literature, myths, and personages to life through disparate formats and genres presented for audiences across the globe.
In this session, we seek to celebrate and explore the variety and vitality of medieval comics (both those from the medieval past as well as more contemporary ones) and to share that material with our colleagues to promote further debate, discussion, and inquiry and to, hopefully, inspire future research and teaching.

Session Information
In this session, we seek to engage with and to build upon the work of Erin Hawley in “The Bride and Her Afterlife: Female Frankenstein Monsters on Page and Screen” in order to develop a more complete picture of the roles of the Bride of Frankenstein and her analogues within the Frankenstein tradition.
In 2025, James Whale’s film Bride of Frankenstein will celebrate its 90th anniversary. This is an important milestone, but it has a larger impact beyond the world of film. In both Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein, Whale and make-up artist Jack Pierce gave life to two iconic figures of modern popular culture: the Monster (played by Boris Karloff) and the Bride (played by Elsa Lanchester).
The creation of the Bride was especially significant since in the source, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the mate of the creature is destroyed while still in progress. There is no meeting of Victor Frankenstein’s creations. In the film, however, the Bride is completed, brought to life, and briefly interacts with her intended. Unfortunately, the pair fail to connect, and, by the film’s end, the Bride is destroyed again.
Despite this, once having encountered her in the flesh through Lanchester’s portrayal, it was impossible for creative artists to let the Bride stay dead. For at least six of her almost nine decades, the Bride of Frankenstein has been revived time and again in a diverse variety of media, including artwork, cartoons, children’s books, comics, films, games, prose fiction, and television programs. Each new text offers an innovative contribution to the ongoing Frankenstein tradition through the ways the Bride and her analogues forge new narratives as they act with and react to other characters within the base story.
Submissions might explore
The ways the Bride of Frankenstein and her analogues transform the story through their roles as wives and mothers as they bring to fulfillment many of the hopes expressed by the creature in Shelley’s novel
The ways versions of female Frankensteins that take a darker turn bring about the bleaker visions Victor Frankenstein has for his creation(s)
How the existence of female Frankensteins (even when absent) reshapes many of their male counterparts by moving them from menaces to husbands and fathers

Submissions might include perspectives from art, comics, film, game, gender, literary, popular culture, and/or religious studies as well as approaches through ecocritical, philosophical, and/or sociological lenses. Papers should focus on some aspect of the ways cloning, experimentation, and hybridization have been represented over time (from their origins in history or creative texts) and in multiple incarnations as shown in their various adaptations in different contemporary (trans)media, including animation, comics, exhibitions, fiction, films, games and gaming (either live-action or electronic/video), graphic novels, illustration, manga, merchandise, performance, television programing, tourist attractions, virtual reality, and the visual arts. Ideas about cloning, experimentation, and hybridization might be revealed in a variety of genres, such as fantasy, horror, Gothic, science fiction, thrillers, and the Weird.
Accepted papers will also be considered (with revision) for an essay collection to be part of the new book series “Villains and Creatures” edited by Antonio Sanna.

Medieval Women from the Middle Ages to Modern Mass Mediævalisms
Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture
Contact: Michael A. Torregrossa (medievalinpopularculture@gmail.com)
Modality: Virtual
Popular culture offers both positive and negative representations of medieval women in medievalist and medievalesque works from Arthuriana and depictions of Joan of Arc and Hildegard von Bingen to Disney’s Princesses, films like The Lord of the Rings, Snow White and the Huntress and The Duel, and streaming series like House of the Dragon and Rings of Power. There has been an increasing focus on these figures in both the popular press and academic discourse; however, much work remains to be done to more fully assess how these texts adapt, adopt, and/or appropriate medieval characters and tropes.
Please submit paper proposal into the Congress’s Confex system accessible at the Call for Papers page for the event (at https://wmich.edu/medievalcongress/call). Scroll down to select “Make a Proposal,” and, once on that page, select our session under the list of “Sponsored and Special Sessions of Papers”.
Submission must be made no later than 15 September 2022.

Lagorio described as “witnessing an Arthurian renascence even greater than that of the Victorian Age.”1 Over the past one hundred years, Arthur has adopted various forms, guises, and even genders to effect his return in modern works, including fiction, poetry, drama, film, television, radio, and folklore. In particular, the comics medium—both the comic book and the comic strip—has employed the enduring motif of Arthur’s return to create innovative approaches to the legend. This essay will focus on one particular aspect of Arthur’s fictional restoration in the comics by exploring his return through reenactment.

These comics are important for study because of their exploration both of the democratization of the legend of Arthur’s return and of contemporary reception of this seminal myth of the Matter of Britain in the post 9/11 world. Furthermore, by placing the figure of the returned king at center of these four-color Arthuriads, these comics become the vehicles to disseminating the Arthurian tradition to audiences of all ages. Comics to be discussed will include the following: Jamie Bautista’s The Cast, Meg Cabot’s Avalon High: Coronation, Frank Cammuso’s Knights of the Lunch Table, Paul Cornell’s Captain Britain and MI:13, Dave Dorman’s The Wasted Land, Paul Gadzikowski’s Arthur, King of Time and Space, Mike Mignola’s Hellboy, Michael McMillan’s Lucid, Martin T. Pierro’s Arthur: The Legend Continues, James Riot’s The Path, Sam Sarkar’s Caliber, Rick Veitch’s Aquaman, Greg Weisman’s Gargoyles, and Bill Willingham’s Fables. 1 “Once and Future Kings: The Return of King Arthur in the Comics,” Adapting the Arthurian Legends for Children: Essays on Arthurian Juvenilia, ed.
