Serie
Contemporary Studies on Premodern Scandinavia
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
This series seeks to bring together a complementary mix of traditional and more modern methodologies, combining established fields of study with innovative research on newer or more controversial topics. The goal of the series is to combine developing approaches, such as medievalism, game theory, media studies, trans/gender studies, comparative studies, and other newer methodologies, with traditional approaches to nuance and revise the field. Juxtaposing ‘contemporary’ and ‘premodern’ in the series title signifies that CSPS is taking a distinctly new approach to topics on premodern Scandinavia.
We are actively seeking proposals, and we especially welcome projects that overturn commonly held opinions/prejudices in the field, decenter Scandinavian studies around the Norway/Iceland canon, as well as projects which relate to the modern world or contemporary issues.
