in their brilliant article, ‘Towards a history of the hammock: An Indigenous technology in the Atlantic world,’ @marcynorton.bsky.social and John Kuhn explore the hammock’s materiality, its social role within Indigenous communities, and its place in intercultural exchanges with colonial settlers

I'm so happy that my piece about nonbeenary monks made it into this wonderful issue of postmedieval! Alongside some great pieces of ecotheory, gender theory, creative and imaginative figuration, links between Italy and Asia... This issue is a dazzling picture of boundary-pushing research.

while we are on the topic of our 2025 publications, take a look at our winter issue! what’s inside? pieces on idols and figuration, gender, ecocriticism, medievalisms, and whiteness on premodern and contemporary literatures spanning from west to east asia and from west to east europe!

as you can see from our cover, the issue focuses on wooden spanish ceilings. Anna McSweeney and Mariam Rosser-Owen put together for us a terrific essay cluster of technical and art historical pieces that explore the structure, function, significance, and legacy of these ceilings
