At the suggestion of one of your list-members, I am posting an
announcement of a special issue of the Journal of Medieval and Modern
Studies devoted to mapping urban conflict.
 
*The Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies*, formerly *The Journal
of Medieval and Renaissance Studies*, has, under the new editorship of
David Aers and Annabel Wharton, expanded its chronological and
geographical frame (from late antiquity through the 17th c.; from the
"New World to Asia) and put a new emphasis on interdisciplinarity.
Numbers are thematic.  Each issue includes calls-for-submissions for
future numbers.  I am particularly interested in receiving submissions
from art historians.
 
The most recent issue, titled *Maps of Authority:  Conflict in the
Medieval and Early Modern Urban Landscape*, includes:  Cynthia Baker
(Cornell), "Bodies, Boundaries, and Domestic Politics in a Late Ancient
Marketplace," Kathleen Ashley (U. of Southern Maine) and Pamela Sheingorn
(Baruch College), "Discordia et lis: Negotiating Power, Property, and
Performance in Medieval Selestat," Diane Shaw (Carnegie Mellon
University), "The Construction of the Private in Medieval London,"  Maria
Georgopoulou (Yale), "Mapping Religious and Ethnic Identities in the
Venetian Colonial Empire," Dana Leibsohn (Smith College), "Mapping
Metaphors: Figuring the Ground of Sixteenth-Century New Spain," and
Annabel Wharton (Duke), "Westminster Cathedral: Medieval Architectures and
Religious Difference."
