THE MIDDLE AGES IN THE MODERN WORLD (MAMO):
A multidisciplinary conference on medievalism in the post-Middle Ages
Fifth Conference, London, 24–26 June 2025
Special strand: London Chaucer Conference 2025: Reception
CALL FOR PAPERS

The Middle Ages in the Modern World is a revived conference about the ways in which the Middle Ages have been received, imagined, invoked, relived, used, abused, and refashioned in the modern and contemporary worlds.

Proposals are invited for papers, panels, linked panels, readings and events for the 5th MAMO conference. Creative and scholarly work from any discipline on any aspect of medievalism is welcome, but we are particularly interested in addressing:

• Inclusivity and exclusivity; the struggle to claim the medieval; medievalist activism
• Relationships between the medievalisms of scholarship, creative work, heritage and cultural industries
• Performance and re-enactment of the medieval
• Continuities: living and working with medieval buildings and institutions
• Local, national and global medievalisms; medievalisms of London
• The history and current state of medievalism studies
• Chaucer reception in all forms from the manuscripts to the present day

Please send any proposals or queries to themamoconference@gmail.com by 13 January 2025. If you are submitting proposals for single or linked panels, please consider diversity when selecting participants. The conference will take place in King’s College London Strand Campus.
