text: Launched via two symposia held at King's College London in January 2011 and The Graduate Center, CUNY in September 2011, the Speculative Medievalisms project aims to bring together scholars associated with speculative realism and object oriented ontology (such as Eugene Thacker, Nick Srnicek, Graham Harman, Michael O'Rourke, Ben Woodard, and others) with scholars working in medieval studies who are interested in the speculative turn (such as Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Eileen Joy, Kathleen Biddick, Kellie Robertson, among others), in order to engage together in dialogue and cross-contamination between traditional concepts of speculatio, present-minded medieval studies, and contemporary speculative realist and object-oriented philosophies.
