This session features papers that explore the connections between the thought of the Middle Ages and present day theoretical interests and concerns. Topics covered by the papers include the connections between today's migration patterns due to war and the orientalist of medieval German Romance (Parzival), the relationship between medieval allegory and the concept of machines, and theories of history and the medieval poem of St. Erkenwald.
