V Congresso Internacional "O Camiño do Medievalista: ad aeternum" (ECR CFP)

28 Feb 2022 2:03 PM | Kyle Lincoln (Administrator)

Claiming a place at the dawn of eternity is not a physical, tangible will, but rather a manifest intention to keep something alive, even after death itself. A death that is not real, but figurative, in a process of transformation to something different and new, a change in matter and not in essence. With this V International Congress "The Medievalist's Way: ad aeternum", we intend to achieve the definitive consolidation of this meeting. As always, it will be open to all young researchers from the Middle Ages who wish to participate. If five years ago the first stone of this forum was laid, today we are standing on a consolidated structure. And we express our desire to try to preserve it ad aeternum, something that has been confirmed by the complete renewal of the organizing committee, and which we hope will be the first of many to ensure its continuity. At the same time, with this reference to eternity, we do not intend only to point to the foundations of this building of ours, but to everything that is intrinsic to it. The tower we helped build represents the need to build new structures from the ruins of others. We are all part of the tower, but we are not the tower. And it's what's around you that matters, going beyond the congress itself: it's the variety of encounters, ideas and friendships that develop within you and that, of course, go far beyond these days. And it is in all this infinite tide of possibilities that our essence is truly found.

After the changes and adaptations that 2020 and 2021 entailed, this year we intend to fully recover the face-to-face format for all participants. Now that the storm has calmed down, we are trying to return the river to its original course. Aware that this may not be, physically, the same as it was three or four years ago, it will certainly be the same in spirit.

We have created a meeting open to all disciplines and aspects of medieval studies (history, art, literature, archeology, philosophy, etc.), spread over seven non-exclusive lines , as any other topic will be welcome:
