This was discussed in relation to self-critical reflection of the terminology and its issues but also why use it, as opposed to "world" by Gerry Heng in her roundtable on Global Middle Ages at MLA. Her point is, it's about interconnectedness & not world theories. & critically 1/2

engages with the critical discussions in decolonial/postcolonial/anticolonial now in discussing this. So at least in one strain of the discussion of the Global Middle Ages, a discussion generated&worked on this since 2004, this has been written about & answered why use global.

This is literally an example about the politics of citation. And it's incredibly frustrating when now Global Middle Ages is a topic but without referencing the work that has come before particularly from one of the few non-white scholars in the field.

So how exactly does one deal w/ this kind of deliberate scholarly amnesia about the work done before especially in defining terms and explaining the critical use of global? How did that Past & Present intro (and I have already asked Past and Present) even get through peer review.

Though also, maybe the other question is then in this discussion, are people discussing current postcolonial/decolonial/anticolonial discussions?
