Proposals on any topic related to the Middle Ages are welcome, while every year the IMC also chooses a special thematic focus. In 2020 this is \u2018<strong>Borders<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Medieval borders have preoccupied scholars for several decades in various guises. The term \u2018border\u2019 designates a wide variety of phenomena: physical geographical limits, that can be signalled by border markers or natural features, points where toll has to be paid, political boundaries, that vary from points in space to linear and fortified military fronts, ways of controlling space, frontier zones, borderlands, porous zones of encounters and contact, ways of limiting community and identity, ideological and metaphorical delimitation including discourse and representation, bordering practices, the process of creating and performing borders, and borderscapes to capture fluidity and change over time.<\/p>\n<p>This strand seeks to bring together medievalists of all fields interested in both the theory and practice of borders in all their variety, from physical boundaries and material borders to dynamic social and spatial relationships. Borders can be linked to power and the formation of states, to definitions of self and other, to violence and military engagement, to belonging and becoming, to material and symbolic construction, to relational and perspectival production of space, to mapping and discourse, to experience and theory, to negotiation and performance. Borders can also be found in frescoes, textiles, clothing, ceramics or coins, with practical, symbolic or aesthetic functions. Borders are also subject to evolution and significant change over time not just between the medieval and modern, but within the medieval period.<\/p>\n<p>Themes to be addressed may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Political and military borders<\/li>\n<li>Living in border zones<\/li>\n<li>Medieval and Modern perceptions, descriptions, and conceptualizations of borders<\/li>\n<li>Delimiting borders, border markers<\/li>\n<li>Border maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Encountering and experiencing borders<\/li>\n<li>Bordering practices<\/li>\n<li>Borderscapes in the longue dur\u00e9e<\/li>\n<li>Symbolic borders<\/li>\n<li>Belonging and exclusion<\/li>\n<li>Mapping borders and border zones<\/li>\n<li>Border institutions<\/li>\n<li>Materiality of borders<\/li>\n<li>Border and power<\/li>\n<li>Migration<\/li>\n<li>Medieval imagery of borders<\/li>\n<li>Transnationalism<\/li>\n<li>Political, social, cultural, religious performance of borders<\/li>\n<li>Village and parish boundaries<\/li>\n<li>Boundaries between town and countryside and within towns<\/li>\n<li>Practices of delimitation<\/li>\n<li>Blurring boundaries such as human\/animal, animate\/inanimate, gender, age, status, religion<\/li>\n<li>Self and other, boundaries of the self<\/li>\n<li>Fluidity and fixity of borders<\/li>\n<li>Borders in manuscripts<\/li>\n<li>Material and visual borders<\/li>\n<li>Processual and performative turns and medieval borders<\/li>\n<li>Disciplinary boundaries<\/li>\n<li>Paratexts as borders<\/li>\n<li>Borders of the body<\/li>\n<li>Transcending and reaffirming boundaries between life and death<\/li>\n<li>Borders, boundaries, frontiers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Special Thematic Strand \u2018Borders\u2018 will be co-ordinated by Nora Berend (Faculty of History \/ St Catharine\u2019s College, University of Cambridge).<\/p>\n<p>Proposals\u00a0can be submitted online from 31 May 2019.<\/p>\n<p>We have recently updated our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imc.leeds.ac.uk\/policies\/criteria\/\">Participation and Acceptance Criteria and encourage you to read these before submitting your paper or session proposal.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper proposal deadline: 31 August 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Session proposal deadline: 30 September 2019. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The IMC welcomes session and paper proposals submitted in all major European languages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Y8V1oxYuEC\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imc.leeds.ac.uk\/imc2020\/\">IMC 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imc.leeds.ac.uk\/imc2020\/embed\/#?secret=Y8V1oxYuEC\" data-secret=\"Y8V1oxYuEC\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;IMC 2020&#8221; &#8212; International Medieval Congress\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15654,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti","category-skupovi"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMC2020.jpg?fit=1400%2C700&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52580,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52580","url_meta":{"origin":15653,"position":0},"title":"Conference &#8220;Living in the aftermaths: Trauma, politics and survival in Yugoslavia and successor states, 1945 \u2013 present&#8221;","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"21. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"The conference aims to explore how war-related psychological distress was experienced, narrated, debated and reframed in Yugoslavia in the second half of the twentieth century.
