<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:16.0pt;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In recent years, the mediality of premodern and early modern literary and cultural communication has become a focal point in
Medieval and Early Modern Studies. Media of transmission, communication, and dissemination have received heightened scrutiny. Scholarship is expanding our understanding of ways in which different kinds of material objects serve as media, and there is renewed
interest in the role played by materiality and mediality in the re-circulation, appropriation and adaptation of shared stories, images, and ideas. For a special theme issue of
<i>Seminar: A Journal of Germanic Studies</i>, we welcome contributions that take stock of this recent shift in scholarly attention and that probe questions of medieval and early modern mediality from broadly conceived disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives.
We seek to include contributions from a range of different fields in medieval and early modern studies, drawing on various frameworks and approaches, including: history; art history; literary studies; textual criticism; material studies; architectural history;
editorial theory and practice; digital humanities. We are seeking contributions focusing on case studies as well as contributions discussing broader methodological questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
