No rest for the wicked! We’re now reciving expressions of interest @imems.bsky.social for our session(s) at @imc-leeds.bsky.social #IMC2026 on MEDIEVAL FRAGMENTS.

Have a look at our CfP, and do get in touch with any proposals or questions. Also, please share if you can!
IMC 2026 CALL FOR PAPERS: MEDIEVAL FRAGMENTS. Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS), Durham University. Building on the success of Medieval Fragments at the IMC 2025, we would like to invite expressions of interest for 2026. Fragments,ever present across a great number of materials, are unique and tantalising windows to the past. Surviving as insertions in later textiles, in later buildings or as parts of bindings in manuscripts, fragments offer us layers of meaning: what were they, originally? What was their original purpose? And their later purpose? How have they survived? We understand fragments as physical pieces of any material. Some suggested topics are: - Manuscript fragmentology: collections of or individual fragments; selling and acquiring fragments; palaeographical and codicological analysis of fragments. - Any medieval fragments: Including but not limited to archaeological, architectural, textile, manuscript and incunabula fragments from anywhere within the medieval period. - Meaning, lives and usage: reconstructing the original object; the meaning of the original and of the fragment; original and later life and use of the fragment. - Methodology: Methods and techniques to work with fragments, manuscript or otherwise, including digital methods and digital projects. Please send us a short abstract (c. 300 words) and CV to Dr Manuel Muñoz García (manuel.munoz-garcia@durham.ac.uk) no later than September 15. We look forward to hearing from you!
