But they are far from alone,for many of their constituents have also deployed medievalism for politicalpurposes, as in condemning impoverished countries for&#160;“failing toescape”the Middle Ages. Indeed, much of medievalism, not to mention the study ofit, has revolved around politics of one kind or another, as became evident fromthe unprecedented number of submissions to our previous volume (XXIX) on thistheme.&#160;Studies in Medievalism, a peer-reviewed printand on-line publication, is therefore once again seeking not only featurearticles of 6,000-12,000 words (including notes) on any postmedieval responsesto the Middle Ages, but also essays of approximately 3,000 words (includingnotes) on the intersection of medievalism (studies) and politics. How exactly have professional andamateur politicians misconstrued, mangled, and manipulated the Middle Ages andto what end? How have politics influenced the development of medievalism and/orstudy of it? In what sense, if any, is it possible to have medievalism(studies) without politics? How might medievalism otherwise be deployed inprofessional or amateur politics? In responding to these and related questions,contributors are invited to give particular examples, but their submissions,which should be sent to Karl Fugelso (kfugelso@towson.edu) in English and Word byAugust 1, 2020 (note that priority will be given to papers in the orderthey are received), should also address the implications of those examples forthe discipline as a whole.
