Studies in Medievalism, a peer-reviewed print and on-line publication, seeks 3,000-word essays on the application of ecotheory to medievalism and neomedievalism.  To what degree do ecocriticism and ecomaterialism inform these fields?  How are constructed environments deployed in response to the Middle Ages?  How, if at all, are these settings legitimized?  How are they applied to postmedieval circumstances and concerns?  How is human agency defined in relationship to them?  What, if anything, do they tell us about the larger scope of medievalism and neomedievalism, particularly the relationship between those fields?  Potential contributors are welcome to discuss particular examples of pertinent neo/medievalism, but they should do so in the course of directly addressing one or more of these questions.Please send all submissions in English and Word to Karl Fugelso (kfugelso@towson.edu) by August 1, 2016.For a style sheet, please visit the website http://www.medievalism.net/sim.html
