Medieval Worlds: Introduction to the First Issue
Medieval Worlds, 2015
Books, web-sites or university courses entitled ›The Medieval World‹ usually deal with Medieval Europe, sometimes only with its ›Latin‹ or Western parts. The name of the present journal, ›Medieval Worlds‹, underlines the diversity of our global past, while maintaining that common approaches are possible. ›Global History‹ often concentrates on the contemporary and modern history of a globalized world; but global perspectives on pre-modern periods are also possible before or beyond processes of globalization. Many fascinating projects explore wide horizons of the global past, both temporally and spatially. These new lines of research depart from many disciplines and reach out across disciplinary divides; arguably, this is one of the most dynamic fields in the heterogeneous academic landscapes of the study of the past. For those who are interested in engaging with current developments and advances in this type of research, however, it is still hard to get an overview of its progress. The present journal is intended to become one of the intellectual »hubs« in this regard: exploring new approaches, stimulating comparative research, offering methodological debates, exchanging reports across disciplines, and presenting current large-scale projects.
XII International Medieval Meeting (Lleida, 5-7 de junio de 2024)
Welcome to the 12 th International Medieval Meeting Lleida which will take place between the 5 th and 7 th of June 2024. During the Middle Ages, government is a game of negotiation between power holders. Concepts such as the common good, power of the people, conciliarism, universities, and double rule (mere and mixed empire) were used in an era when negotiation, justifying speeches, and ostentation (at different levels and social strata) ended up imposing themselves. The sovereign had to deal with certain collectives by claiming that he spoke on their behalf. Thus, contractual monarchy and representativeness were key contributions of the Middle Ages. The evidence of these realities can be found in art, literature, archaeology, and documentation… The researcher only needs to examine them. The International Medieval Meeting Lleida invites all attendants to take an interdisciplinary approach to explore this important point in history. Simultaneously, and thereby reaffirming its importance as a meeting point for young and established medievalists, the 12 th International Medieval Meeting Lleida offers a further 16 thematic strands to update and share our medieval studies, attending the different lines of research, methodologies and ways of diffusion:
