>Many portrayals of the Middle Ages (well done or not)
>in motion pictures, TV, and games have gone through
>three movements of narrative style:
>Modernist-Medievalism, Post-Modernist Medievalism,
>Neomedievalism. Historically, these movements of style
>can be seen to loosely correlate with three movements
>of the technical medium of motion pictures: film,
>television, and video games. While such an
>over-simplification is far from comprehensive, we have
>proposed to use it to serve as a structural base from
>which discussions and debates may orient: in either a
>reliance upon, an expansion of, a disagreement with,
>or a total deconstruction of this base. What can be
>said about medievalism in motion pictures, TV, and
>games that hasnít been said before? In what ways might
>medieval motion pictures and TV ñ from the
>passive/receptive experience of film to the
>interactive experience of video games -- be used
>productively in the classroom?
