Workshop von Dr. habil. Anna Czarnowus für die Graduiertenschule

Bamberg, 3. Mai 2019, Sitzungsraum des ZEMAS (KR10/03.03)
10.00-15.00 Uhr

Organisation: Prof. Dr. Christoph Houswitschka

This workshop embraces various forms of medievalism, understood both as a return to the historical Middle Ages and as fantasies on the imaginary period, across time and space.
It starts with Evelyn Waugh‘s Catholicism-motivated medievalism, passes through the primitivism of Tolkien along with the New Zealand settings of the adaptations, and then proceeds to two colonial medievalisms: the 1832 Canadian one in Wacousta and the contemporary medievalism of Margaret Mahy, a Newzealander.
