중세] 교류사와 관계사의 확대 및 학제적 연구 노력: 2019~2020년 서양 중세사 연구동향

Abstract

This article is intended to review the major trends and research achievements in the field of Western medieval history in South-Korea for the years of 2019-2020. The papers and books written in this session were classified by period, country, and topic, and the gist of individual work was reviewed. By period, early Middle Ages studies were very scarce and there were many writings in later periods. By country, there were many articles about France and Italy. Recently, interest in exchange history and relationship history has been increasing, and transnational research has been increasing to examine the relationship between Europe and Islam in the Crusades. By topic, the proportion was large in order of culture, religion, politics and society. In particular, cultural-themed writings were not only large in quantity but also deep and rich in content.<BR> The expansion of interdisciplinary exchanges within medieval studies also emerged. Recently, medieval researchers in theology, literature, and art actively participated in the presentation and contribution of the Western Middle Ages Society, and medieval research has been interacting beyond academic boundaries. It is interesting to see whether such interdisciplinary research can develop into a supplement to existing Western medieval history research activities.
