* Login to add events... *
Today's date is Friday, March 29, 2024
The Modern Medieval : What does the middle ages mean to the modern world and how do we make that meaning? Other events...
What do Australian parliamentary ritual, heritage tourism, fantasy fiction and cinema, and modernist poetry have in common? Answer: the middle ages. The relation of contemporary culture to the medieval period keeps transforming itself at every level from the popular to the highbrow, with surprising results. In this one-day seminar, a group of distinguished international scholars will examine what the middle ages mean to the modern world, and how we make that meaning.
