The typical vision of the Middle Ages western popular culture
represents to its global audience is deeply Eurocentric. The Lord
of the Rings and Game of Thrones imagined entire medievalist
worlds, but we see only a fraction of them through the stories and
travels of the characters. Organised around the theme of mobility,
this Element seeks to deconstruct the Eurocentric orientations of
western popular medievalisms which typically position Europe as
either the whole world or the centre of it, by making them visible
and offering alternative perspectives. How does popular culture
represent medievalist worlds as global-connected by the movement of
people and objects? How do imagined mobilities allow us to create
counterstories that resist Eurocentric norms? This study represents
the start of what will hopefully be a fruitful and inclusive
conversation of what the Middle Ages did, and should, look like.
