| Abstract: |
One of a pair of sessions devoted to exploring the implications of postmodern critical theory for medieval studies and, more specifically, its impact on medieval history - and part of a larger series to be featured at the meetings of the American Historical Association and the Medieval Academy of America in 2009. How have medieval metanarratives been built up in response to modern agendas? To what extent is our work still embedded in grand narratives inherited from the past? How, methodologically, can we advance into the future, using both our newfound theoretical awareness of textual mediation, on the one hand, and the scholarly paradigms of our venerable disciplines on the other?
