Paper proposals must be submitted by 31 August 2018. Session proposals must be submitted by 30 September 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The IMC provides an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of all aspects of Medieval Studies. Proposals on any topic related to the Middle Ages are welcome, while every year the IMC also chooses a special thematic focus. In 2019 this is <strong>&#8216;Materialities&#8217;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recent attention to objects, artefacts, matter, and material culture has reshaped scholarship in many fields. This strand seeks to address the impact of this new interest in things, theories, and methods as they relate to an expansive understanding of \u2018materiality\u2019. The study of materiality brings together a host of scholarly and theoretical concerns and puts them into dialogue to understand how conceptions of matter, and matter itself, shaped the creation of the material world, regimes of labour and supply, connectivity, entanglements, trade networks, movements of things and people, concepts of agency and network theory, and constructed notions of the sublime, of replication, and of \u2018reality\u2019, as an abstract concept and category during the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This strand seeks to bring into conversation recent work on materialities by art historians, archaeologists, paleographers, historians, economists, musicologists, liturgists, philosophers, philologists, and scholars of literature, critical theory, and religious studies, among other fields. Material objects and practices served as markers of cultural difference, but could also &#8211; simultaneously &#8211; become part of a shared culture of consumption, proximity suggesting gender and class affinities. Material dynamics were embedded in the making of objects, the trade in raw materials, and the roles of men and women in the fabrication of things spanning the luxurious to the mundane. Materialities shaped cultures of consumption, created regimes of circulation, and informed networks that defined both subjects and objects. Materialities encompass interactions between peoples both near and far and offer an analytical framework that suggests the unity of the medieval world across religious, ethnic, and spatial distances and differences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Themes to be addressed may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Material culture and consumption<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Materiality and the archaeological record<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Agency of people and things<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Medieval \u2018thing\u2019 theory<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Material connections: regimes of circulation<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Materialism and the Middle Ages<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Labour and production of things<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 The social life of things<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Fabrication: production of specific objects<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Replication and reproduction<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Materiality of coins, money, and circulation<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Manuscripts: material and making<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Material textual and writing cultures<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Soundscape: material and musical culture<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Light and form<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Representing the material<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Body and spirit: spirituality and the material<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Space and materialities<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Materials: mundane (e.g. wood, water, dust) and luxurious (e.g. gold, silver, gems)<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Intimacies of things<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Abundance and\/or scarcity<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Imagined materials<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Material landscapes: urban, suburban, rural<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Loans, debts, credit<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Materialities of power\/empire<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Race and subjectivity<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Transformations: recycling, reuse, destruction<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Material religions: beliefs and practices<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Materials and memory<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Materialities and\/of conflict<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Gendered materialities<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Digital\/virtual\/material archives<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Conservation and preservation<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7\u00a0 Text and\/as object<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Special Thematic Strand &#8216;<strong>Materialities<\/strong>&#8216; will be co-ordinated by Anne E.
