MEDIEVAL WORLDS provides a new forum for interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Specifically it encourages and links comparative research between different regions and fields and promotes methodological innovation in transdisciplinary studies. Focusing on the Middle Ages (c. 400-1500 CE, but can be extended whenever thematically fruitful or appropriate), MEDIEVAL WORLDS takes a global approach to studying history in a comparative setting.
MEDIEVAL WORLDS is open to regular submissions on comparative topics, but also offers the possibility to propose or advertise subjects that lend themselves to comparison. With a view to connecting people working on related topics in different academic environments, we publish calls for matching articles and for contributions on particular issues.

Abstract:
Traditional views and ›master narratives‹ have long been outdated by recent research. Identity has become a keyword in social research. It means the self-consciousness of groups. Ethnic identity therefore characterises the perceptions of a people and their particularity, and varies among every other nation. Nevertheless, this is a social and cultural construct depending on each group’s specific situation. Ethnic identity has to be flexible and appropriate to the necessities and interests of each group. Genes are a matter of biology. Ancient DNA is preserved in smaller fragments which mainly allow approximations of population development. Modern DNA reflects actual distribution and the complex, but overlapping historical information at the population level. Expecting any direct accord between population history and social history would be a fall-back into nineteenth century conceptions of the ideal nation state: homogeneous in space, race, culture, language and people. This could only be a rare historical exception. The complex relations between both research fields provide promising perspectives, which can be followed only by a narrow exchange between biological and historical disciplines. Together, new and adequate questions should be developed.

Keywords:  chronology; typology; spatial analysis; contextual analysis; isotope analysis; aDNA analysis; early middle ages; methodology
