‘Technique: Alternate histories of expertise and experiment’—our 2025 double special issue—explores modes of making and questions of functionality, ornamentation, craft, artificiality, skill
guest editors Jennifer Jahner and Jessica Rosenberg bring together 31 contributors to reflect on these themes across 22 dynamic pieces—research articles, interviews between academics and practitioners, and ‘skill-shares,’ short works of practical knowledge
how does medieval literature conceptualize moral and political systems? how do modern writers, printers, and heritage projects engage with the past?
our spring 2025 issue explores these and other questions across persian, byzantine, old, middle, and modern english literature
for #internationalmuseumday, we are celebrating once again the Crafting Medieval Spain project—a remarkable collaboration between academics and museum professionals that enabled the close study of the torrijo ceiling at @vam_east storehouse

it was so great to see our mentees and mentors together—we are really excited to work with five wonderful scholars who are publishing in English for the first time and to support them as they develop their articles for publication
in the issue you can also read five research articles and a dialogue on topics ranging from medievalism and eugenics, premodern trans* lives, caves, kisses and oral metaphors, as well as japanese calligraphy and disorder
the ceiling featured on the cover can now be seen at @vam_east; for their recent opening we made this issue of /postmedieval/ once again free to access. go to the link in our bio to read it!!
