[FOR PRESENTERS] PKMS 18th Annual Conference: The Medieval Uncanny

This conference will explore the uncanny and related terms– the weird, the abject, the spectral–  that describe the moment of rupture which can’t be assimilated by modern perspectives or previous experience, an experience common to contemporary readers and medieval ones. Papers will address modern and medieval interpretations of temporal and cultural distance, shifts between the normal and the fantastic, and weird medieval stories that persist until today.

Keynote by Dr. Megan Cook of Colby College.

Masks are required for in-person attendees, and will be provided.

Host or Publisher Pearl Kibre Medieval Study
