Past and Future Medieval Studies Today
6th European Congress of Medieval Studies: Past and Future Medieval Studies Today
There was a time, not so long ago, when Medieval Studies constituted a major pillar for the understanding of the history of human civilization, and had a strong and uncontested position in the curricula of many institutions of higher education, especially in the Western world.
Today, things are different. In a globalizing world, the emergence of the universities, gothic architecture, polyphony, and urban culture, can no longer be studied in isolation. Their significance must be assessed against the background of developments elsewhere in the world, for instance, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Today, what does the medieval past mean for a global and culturally diverse future?
