Strange Heading: Post-Critique and the Medieval Book

Papers reconsidering medieval manuscript elements—calligraphy, titles, neighboring texts, rubrics, layout, performance cues, polysemy—to theorize premodern writing and reading as speculative, imaginative, or supra-informational practices, moving beyond historically positivist, materialist, or hermeneutically suspicious lenses.

Deadline for submissions: Monday, 13 March 2023
