Dear Friends of the T'ang Studies Society, See message below from Michael Hoeckelmann, who is seeking to form a panel on “Appropriation of the Middle Ages.” Please reply directly to him. Best regards, Jonathan Skaff Secretary T'ang Studies Society http://tangstudies.org/Membership.html Dear Jonathan & Manling, Thank you for passing this on. I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in joining a panel on “Appropriation of the Middle Ages”? I am currently exploring some ideas about Chen Yinque 陳寅恪 (1890–1969) and his model of periodization. It would be great to put together a panel on appropriations of the M.A. in China or (East) Asia. Interested colleagues can email me at: [ mailto:michael.hoeckelmann@fau.de | michael.hoeckelmann@fau.de ] . Best wishes, Michael On 11.

Date: February 6, 2020 at 10:18:07 AM EST ********************************************* 96th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America 15-18 April 2021 Indiana University Bloomington The 96th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America will take place on the campus of the Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The meeting is jointly hosted by the Medieval Academy of America and the Medieval Studies Institute of the Indiana University. The conference program will feature a diverse range of sessions highlighting innovative scholarship across the many disciplines contributing to medieval studies. Call for Papers The Program Committee invites proposals for papers on all topics and in all disciplines and periods of medieval studies. Any member of the Medieval Academy may submit a paper proposal; others may submit proposals as well but must become members in order to present papers at the meeting. Special consideration will be given to individuals whose field would not normally involve membership in the Medieval Academy. The program committee encourages medievalists of all professional standing to submit abstracts. We are particularly interested in receiving submissions from those working outside of traditional academic positions, including independent scholars , emeritus or adjunct faculty, university administrators, those working in academic-adjacent institutions (libraries, archives, museums, scholarly societies, or cultural research centers), editors and publishers, and other fellow medievalists. Themes Rather than a single overarching theme, the 2021 Program Committee has put together a set of themes (listed below), and hopes to put in conversation papers that approach each theme from diverse chronological, geographical, methodological, and disciplinary perspectives. We also welcome innovative sessions that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries or that use various disciplinary approaches to examine an individual topic. The themes listed below have been proposed by the Program Committee but the list is not meant to be exhaustive or exclusive. * After Dante, 1321-2021 * Approaching the Middle Ages with Modern Science * Appropriation of the Middle Ages * Commemoration * Connections and Networks in Medieval Social Life * Digital Humanities * Form and Genre * Humans and the Natural Environment * Identity, Race, and Ethnicity * Manuscripts and Book History * Migration, Immigration, and Exile * Moments of Intercultural Interaction * Multilingualism and Diglossia * Natural Philosophy and its Applications * Objects and Material Culture * Performance from Sacred to Secular * Playfulness The deadline for proposals is June 1, 2020. Please do not send proposals directly to the program committee. All proposals, for individual papers, sessions, or special formats, must be submitted through the conference web portal; instructions can be found at: [ https://maa2021.indiana.edu/ | https://maa2021.indiana.edu/ ] Individuals may propose to offer a paper in one of the themes below, a full panel of papers and speakers for a listed theme, a full panel of papers and speakers for a session they wish to create, or a single paper not designated for a specific theme. Sessions usually consist of three 25-minute papers, and proposals should be geared to that length, although the committee is interested in other formats as well (poster sessions, digital experiences, etc). The Program Committee may choose a different format for some sessions after the proposals have been reviewed. Paper and panel proposals will be reviewed for their quality, the significance of their topics, and their relevance to the conference themes. The Program Committee will evaluate proposals during the summer of 2020 and the Committee will inform all successful and unsuccessful proposers by 1 September 2020. Conference Location Founded in 1820, Indiana University Bloomington welcomes more than 48,000 students from Indiana and all 50 states, as well as from 165 foreign nations. Of particular note for medievalists is the Lilly Library, which holds a large collection of medieval manuscript books and fragments, especially from the 14th and 15th centuries. All sessions and events will be held in the Biddle Hotel and Conference Center in the Indiana Memorial Union, located at the center of campus; other hotel and dining options are located a short walk away in Bloomington's downtown. _______________________________________________ T'ang Studies Society [ mailto:admin@tangstudies.org | admin@tangstudies.org ] BQ_END BQ_END Jonathan Skaff Secretary T'ang Studies Society http://tangstudies.org/Membership.html From: "Michael Hoeckelmann" <mich.hoec@gmail.com> To: "T'ang Studies Society" <admin@tangstudies.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2020 4:50:38 PM Subject: Re: [T'ang Studies] MAA 2021 Call for Papers - please distribute!
