33rd Annual Medieval Studies Student Colloquium (MSSC), "Lacunae," Cornell University, 11 March 2023 (Zoom)

33rd Annual Medieval Studies Student Colloquium (MSSC)

“Lacunae”

Cornell University

Saturday 11 March 2023 (Zoom)

Time: TBA

“Lacunae” can refer to unfilled spaces, gaps, cavities, holes, or absences. For the purposes of this conference, papers may address lacunae in medieval archives or records (i.e., what materials or knowledge about the Middle Ages are we missing or have we lost?) or lacunae in research and other later engagements with the Middle Ages. What strands of theory or scholarship have not been applied to medieval studies? What voices are absent in the field? What medieval works or aspects of medieval culture (material or immaterial) have been overlooked by postmedieval thinkers or reconstructions/re-imaginings of the ‘medieval'? What are the ramifications of medieval lacunae in our current or past understandings of the Middle Ages? Papers may respond to, but are certainly not limited to, these questions.
