Call for Papers for Volume 3 of Fragmenta Mundi: FRAGMENTS AND FRAGMENTARINESS: THE CHALLENGE OF DISMANTLED MANUSCRIPTS

2024-01-25

The present CfP arose from the conference "Fragments and Fragmentariness in the Humanities and Cultural Heritage" (University of Urbino, May 8-10, 2023), which successfully engaged scholars into a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary reflection on the fragment as a complex phenomenon. The goal of the volume is to continue the discourse launched at the event, incorporating not just the written versions of those papers, but also studies featuring voices and perspectives not included at the event.
For the present volume, we will welcome papers ranging between 8,000 and 10.000 words, focusing on fragments from medieval manuscripts, especially when re-used in early modern handicraft, such as bookbinding; however, single contributions may also be accepted on fragments from the earliest decades of the early modern era, if they fit the core discourse of the volume. Case-studies and theoretical issues are equally welcome. The ultimate aim of the volume is to help clarify the nature of the fragment and to find a common interdisciplinary terrain against which each monodisciplinary perspective finds its raison d’être.
