Des chevaliers armés d’épées en mousse s’affrontent le dimanche sur les flancs du mont Royal. Game of Thrones et The Lord of the Rings séduisent les foules. Les jeux vidéo plongeant les joueurs dans le passé médiéval sont nombreux et populaires. On le voit : il y a un engouement pour le Moyen Âge. Francis Gingras montre comment cette période historique est aussi un objet d’étude pour beaucoup de disciplines : littérature, histoire, histoire de l’art, philosophie, etc. Le Moyen Âge nous paraît familier ; l’auteur montre que c’est en fait une période très éloignée de la nôtre, étrangère à plusieurs égards, mais qui a encore des choses à nous dire.

Are you a Lone Medievalist? Working medievalists are often the only scholar of the Middle Ages in a department, a university, or a hundred-mile radius. While working to build a body of focused scholarly work, the lone medievalist is expected to be a generalist in the classroom and a contributing member of a campus community that rarely offers disciplinary community in return. As a result, overtasked and single medievalists often find it challenging to advocate for their work and field. As other responsibilities and expectations crowd in, we come to feel disconnected from the projects and subjects that sustain our intellectual passion. An insidious isolation even from one another creeps in, and soon, even attending a conference of fellow medievalists can become a lonely experience. Surrounded by scholars with greater institutional support, lower teaching loads, or more robust research agendas, we may feel alienated from our work — the work to which we’ve dedicated our careers.
