The essays, manifestos, rants, screeds, pleas, soliloquies,
telegrams, broadsides, eulogies, songs, harangues, confessions,
laments, and acts of poetic terrorism in these two volumes - which
collectively form an academic "rave" - were culled, with some later
additions, from roundtable sessions at the International Congress
on Medieval Studies in 2012 and 2013, organized by postmedieval: a
journal for medieval cultural studies and the BABEL Working Group
("Burn After Reading: Miniature Manifestos for a Post/medieval
Studies," "Fuck This: On Letting Go," and "Fuck Me: On Never
Letting Go") and George Washington University's Medieval and Early
Modern Studies Institute ("The Future We Want: A Collaboration"),
respectively. Gathering together a rowdy multiplicity of voices
from within medieval and early modern studies, these two volumes
seek to extend and intensify a conversation about how to shape
premodern studies, and also the humanities, in the years ahead.
Authors in both volumes, in various ways, lay claim to the act(s)
of manifesting, and also anti-manifesting, as a collective endeavor
that works on behalf of the future without laying any belligerent
claims upon it, where we might craft new spaces for the
University-at-large, which is also a University that wanders, that
is never just somewhere, dwelling in the partitive - of a
particular place - but rather, seeks to be everywhere, always on
the move, pandemic, uncontainable, and always to-come, while also
being present/between us (manifest). This is not a book, but a
blueprint. TABLE OF CONTENTS Vol. 1: Miniature Manifestos for a
