.. to think there are some #ClimateHistory conditions worth looking at on a global scale. (See biblio in this thread: https://twitter.com/monicaMedHist/status/1030150007406522370 ….) In other words, there may be physical reasons to define the "medieval" period as having common characteristics. We can reclaim vocab.

Very interesting perspective re: climate change. Thanks! I definitely need to look into this more.

Gerry Heng addresses this in her early globalities article for LICO. She has discussed this both at MAA and MLA this year. This has then been part of the discussion for her and her work on Global MA since 2007. I would read and cite her.

Hi Dorothy. Gerry's 2009 essay in *English Language Notes* was already mentioned up-thread. I see several of her pieces on globality posted on her http://Academia.edu page (https://utexas.academia.edu/GeraldineHeng ). But I don't see LICO anywhere & have no idea what it means. Can you clarify?

Thanks. Those of us not in literature don't know this lingo. (And we historians don't call History Compass, "HiCo.") Here's link for those looking: https://www.academia.edu/28913418/Early_Globalities_Global_Literatures_Introducing_a_Special_Issue_on_the_Global_Middle_Ages ….

Hi all. Some fascinating links in this thread! Personally, coming back to the original q, I think that ‘medieval’ CAN be colonising if used uncritically, but sometimes we need to (critically and consciously) use commonly understood terms to try and have ‘global’ discussions. 1/

Try as I might, I just don’t seem to be able to bring in ‘Classic & post-Classic’ as a global framework ;-) Amanda Power & I conceded ‘medieval’ in this piece to allow comparison & instead focused on trying to decentre ‘globalisation’: https://academic.oup.com/past/article/238/suppl_13/88/5230774 … (free access). 2/2

As I was quite clear when I tweeted my specific full critique of this introduction, where exactly is global MA anything but a continuation of the white gaze? How can you discuss bottom-up methodology with no discussion of under commons, maroon histories, decolonization, poco etc?

as there have been excellent decolonial and postcolonial critiques of such projects, why exactly did we decide that the white experts were going to decide this vocab? And we are going to avoid addressing erasure & genocide from white settler colonialism and empire?

The intro. read like a return to 19th-c white anthropology. But you still use the idea of "European voyage of discovery"... So yes, as a straightforward critique, I find the introduction deeply problematic, white-gaze focused, ignoring a whole host of discussions & critiques.

Again, please read my actual work before assuming anything about my approach.
