<P><STRONG>Rethinking Medieval Maps I: The Unmapped, Marginalized and
Fictitious<BR></STRONG><BR>This panel is devoted to the cartography of spaces
that are far—either geographically or conceptually—from the umbilicus terrae at
Jerusalem and the seemingly well-known confines of Europe. Proposals are invited
for papers that explore the less privileged aspects of medieval maps: the
mapping of the unknown, negative space, and things omitted from<BR>maps; the
inhabitants of the margins, monsters, and marginalized peoples; and the
cartography of the fictitious or counterfactual. While we seek papers that
engage closely with the details of the maps themselves, we welcome proposals
that highlight new approaches to maps across time and space.<BR><BR>Papers are
expected to be amply illustrated with high-quality images of the maps
discussed.<BR><BR>Please send your title and abstract (250 words), together with
a short CV, to chet.van.duzer@gmail.com and LauraWhatley@ferris.edu by September
15, 2014.<BR><BR>---------------</P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT><BR><STRONG>Rethinking Medieval Maps II:
Evidence for the Use and Re-Use of Maps<BR></STRONG><BR>P.D.A. Harvey has
written that "Medieval Europe was a society that functioned largely without
maps"—and we take this statement as a call for a closer look at how medieval
Europeans engaged with maps when they did resort to them. What evidence do we
have, either from maps themselves, their contexts, or from textual sources,
about how medieval maps were used? What about cases in which maps were designed
for one purpose, but employed for another? What do these uses and re-uses tell
us about the place of maps in medieval society, and their connection with
broader developments in visual or material culture?<BR><BR>Papers are expected
to be amply illustrated with high-quality images of the maps
discussed.<BR><BR>Please send your title and abstract (250 words), together with
a short CV, to chet.van.duzer@gmail.com and LauraWhatley@ferris.edu by September
