I somehow missed this. Over at In the Middle, Eileen Joy has a wonderful post announcing the new SR series with Edinburgh. However, the really exciting thing is her announcement of a speculative medievalisms project. Check it out here!

Levi–thanks for the link to our Speculative Medievalisms project + event in London this past January. You and your readers might also be interested to know that we have a 2nd “mirror” event planned for Sep. 16, 2011 at The Graduate Center, CUNY, featuring Graham, Patricia Clough, Jeffrey Cohen, Ben Woodard, Drew Daniel, Kellie Robertson, Julian Yates, and others! We’ll have more details about that program soon.
In the meantime, I’m really looking forward to reading your book.

Apart from all interpretative theories on the middle ages, it sure is fun just contemplating the sheer number of objects we could associate with the medieval era: cathedrals, knights, crowns, chants, torture chambers, crusaders, crosses, horse saddles, griffins, poetry, myths, dragons, feudalism, oaths, and so on. Maybe object-oriented theories of history could focus less on the human gaze (pornography, as you say), then on the intricate entanglement of objects that makes up the larger object we call the middle ages.

Right on, Drew.
