| Abstract | These two linked sessions explore creative, imaginative, unusual methods of producing history. That could mean new methodologies in writing history such as auto-ethnography and fictive histories, but it could also mean using different writing techniques or fundamentally different kinds of sources for writing history. It might also mean not writing at all - are your methods better served through the media of film, spoken word, painting, knitting, baking? In this session, we consider how interpreting and staging medieval drama (even medieval drama that has been lost) can be used as a different way of composing history. |
