----------------------------Original message---------------------------- 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."
