Excited to witness a conversation on early modern poetics by eminent Black poets and critics—@[email protected] and Fred Moten, hosted by @[email protected]’s Ayanna Thompson at #Raceb4Race!

PCRS friends, can you direct me to some readings on the racialization of Irish folks in premodern & early modern Europe?

I'm especially curious to see if there are studies documenting the reception of English discourse (i.e. the representation of the Irish as barbaric people to be colonized/subdued) elsewhere in early modern Europe

Hello #hcommons! A brief #introduction.

I'm Ariela, and I'm a graduate student at the Institute of Fine Art at New York University studying #medieval and #Renaissance #art history. Part of #medievodons, #bookhistodons, and #histodons. I'm currently working on the performative uses of crucifixes with moving limbs as props in Passion Plays in #Italy. I'm also interested in questions of premodern race (#RaceB4Race) and cultural difference with respect to these performances.

Mostly posting about medieval nonsense, art history, disability justice, and my dog (named #Dante). Occasionally posting my Halloween costumes.

#introduction Beloveds, I moved instances but I’m still in limbo. So there are two of me in this universe. I’m an #EarlyModern #LiteraryScholar. I specialize in #shakespeare #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #PCRS. I’m #Arab and #FreePalestine is always on my mind.

#Introduction time! My name is Yasmine Hachimi and I'm a #PublicHumanities Fellow at the Newberry Library.

My research explores the eroticization of Tudor queens in a range of popular genres, from #earlymodern letters and plays, to tv and #fanfiction today. I also consider the affordances and limitations of color-conscious #casting in #perioddrama.

@mike Thanks! :) If you're ever curious for more, let me know. Similar work is a growing interest for a lot of literature scholars, who each bring their own approaches. It's on the Other Platform™, but #raceb4race has some wonderful threads about the exciting things people are working on.
