Let's revisit medieval Norway at #IMC2027! @marycoconnor.bsky.social and I are back with another call for papers, this time on 'Communities of the Realm: Shaping Thirteenth-Century Norway'. #medievalsky @imc-leeds.bsky.social

CfP:
Communities of the Realm: Shaping Thirteenth-
Century Norway
In the wake of civil wars which racked Norway throughout much of the twelfth century, the monarchs of the ‘long thirteenth century’ strove to reshape and define the communities of the Norwegian realm. Their efforts ranged from defining the ranks of the king’s retainers, to reforming the laws circumscribing Norway as a distinct legal community, to transforming its literary landscapes and creating new
cultural values aimed at elite communities. Communities beyond the courts were affected by these movements or actively reshaped themselves independently.
This session seeks to explore such questions as: how were communities in thirteenth-century Norway imagined? How
did they change or remain static across this period? How effective were royal efforts in achieving changes in the political and
cultural communities of their realms?
We invite papers which address any aspect of community taking place in Norway during the thirteenth century, but also in Iceland as
its political status changed over the course of the century.

- Political change and legal reform
- Norwegian imperialism
- Foreign diplomacy
- The hirð
- Communities of elites
- Military communities
- Rebellion against new political communities
- Cultural communities
- Religious communities
- Literary communities
- Linguistic communities
- Indigenous communities
- Marginalised and excluded communities

Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words and a brief biography by Friday 18th September to Mary Catherine O’Connor (maryoconnor@balliol.ox.ac.uk) and Jonas Zeit-Altpeter (j.zeit-altpeter@student.uib.no).

In 2012, with @ceilteachomn.bsky.social, we held a conference on the book. The papers were published as Codices Hibernenses Eximii I & recordings are available.

White print on green blackgroudn with some detaisl picked out in gold and golden celtic know inspired framing.
In recent years there has been a rapid expansion in the study of law in the Irish Sea Region. Research has steadily progressed beyond the study of law texts themselves and is starting to brush shoulders with other thematic strands, such as emotion, normativity, identity, culture and gender.
This area is still in its infancy and there are a number of directions which are yet to be explored. This session will provide a window into current research and future directions of law and the Irish sea region and its contacts with contemporary cultures, such as the Norse, Anglo-Saxons and Anglo-Normans.

Topics can include, but are not limited to:
- Diaspora and networks
- Linguistic and philological developments
- Legal and national identities
- Gender and emotion
- Religion and cultural memory
- Political landscapes
- Legal procedures
- Nationalism and reception of medieval law
- Internal developments and external influences

We particularly encourage submission from early career researchers and work-in-progress projects.
Talks will be 15-20 minutes long, with the option for hybrid participation.
Please submit a title, a 150-word abstract and a short bio by Friday 19th of September to hannah.evans@liverpool.ac.uk and frenzel@liverpool.ac.uk.
