CFP – Aljamiado Language and Literary Studies in Medieval Iberia and Beyond – 59th International Congress on Medieval Studies Kalamazoo, Michigan May 9 – 11, 2024
In a 2016 article, Sol Miguel-Prendes, former editor of La corónica, described the mission statement of the journal as welcoming “scholarship that transcends the linguistic and/or cultural borders of Spanish and explores the interconnectedness of those languages and cultures that coexisted in medieval Iberia.” The word “Iberia” opens the field of medieval and early modern studies related to the Peninsula to “methodologies that reach beyond the monolithic, proto-nationalist narrative implied in Hispanism as an ideology.” It brings into the conversation languages and literatures that fall outside of the Castilian-dominant canon. In that vein, this panel seeks papers on any area of Aljamiado language or literary studies. “Aljamiado” may be interpreted broadly to include Romance language texts composed in Hebrew or Arabic characters in the Iberian Peninsula or in the post-expulsion diasporas from the Middle Ages through 1700.
