| Long abstract | First of all, I should say that I am a philosopher. If medieval-ists have a bad reputation anywhere, that is in philosophy. At least, that is how I felt in the beginning. That is how I have been feeling up to this point. The problem lies mostly with people’s conceptions regarding the Middle Ages: a sort of dark, historical parentheses whose content remains mostly unknown. No sur-prises here. Anyway, my intention here is not to complain about other people’s thoughts, but most importantly to share my own. Thus, I will start by what it was or what it is to be a medievalist within my academic environment, that is, in my experience, but I will also try to briefly provide our field with some constructive ideas in order to face the “I am a lone medievalist” issue. |
