This journal demonstrates the value of medieval studies and of the deepest historical perspective on the development of contemporary cultural and critical theory.
postmedieval: a journal of medieval cultural studies is a discipline-spanning, peer-reviewed journal that brings the medieval and the modern into productive critical relation. The journal advances a present-minded approach to medieval studies, which inspires new critical investigations of the Middle Ages by examining contemporary events, issues, ideas, problems, objects, and studies.
The intent of this approach is to illuminate deep historical structures – mental, linguistic, social, cultural, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual – that underlie contemporary thought and life. The journal advocates for and supports the continuing development, every disciplinary source, of historicist, materialist, comparatist, and theoretical approaches to subjects rooted in the Middle Ages.
