Considering the entire world during the period we commonly call the \;Middle Ages\, ca. 300 CE to ca. 1500 CE is a relatively new practice \;within a variety of disciplines. Traditionally\, the Middle Ages has \;meant the Western Middle Ages with a Eurocentric bias. During the \;past few years\, however\, more scholars are taking a broader view. \;While some are broadening their own work\, others are finding ways to
collaborate with colleagues within their own disciplines and across \;others to integrate all human experience in this period &ndash\; creating a \;Global Middle Ages.
Digital Philology invites paper proposals for a special issue that \;focuses on how different peoples and cultures envisioned their role \;in the universe &ndash\; through creation stories\, ritual practices\, \;spiritual beliefs\, celebration and other aspects of human
experience &ndash\; within the perspectives of cosmogony\, cosmology\, and/or \;cosmography. We seek papers from scholars worldwide in any
discipline\, who can broaden our understanding in this area. Of \;particular interest are papers that offer an interdisciplinary\, \;multidisciplinary\, or transdisciplinary perspective. Papers may be \;focused on a single culture or address cultural beliefs and practices \;in more than one part of the world.
To submit your proposal\, please e-mail title and a 250 word English \;abstract and detailed contact information for primary author with the \;subject line: ATTN:DIGITAL PHILOLOGY by \;August 15\, 2013 \;to: Dr. \;Marguerite Ragnow\, \;ragn0001@umn.edu. Authors of accepted proposals \;will be invited to submit articles by \;November 1\, 2013\; all papers \;are subject to the standard review process at Digital Philology: A
Journal of Medieval Cultures.
