the @RSAorg has announced the recipients of its 2025 Renaissance Studies Article Prize on the theme of ‘Renaissance Ecologies,’ and we couldn’t be happier that an article published in /postmedieval/ won first prize!!

in their article, ‘Towards a history of the hammock: An Indigenous technology in the Atlantic world,’ Marcy Norton and John Kuhn explore the hammock’s materiality, its social role within Indigenous communities, and its place in intercultural exchanges with colonial settlers
congratulations to @marcy_norton and John Kuhn, as well as Jennifer Jahner and Jessica Rosenberg, who guest edited the issue of /postmedieval/ in which the article appeared, and to all of this year’s winners!

technique—technology—technê
‘Technique: Alternate histories of expertise and experiment’—our 2025 double special issue—explores modes of making and questions of functionality, ornamentation, craft, artificiality, skill
guest editors Jennifer Jahner and Jessica Rosenberg bring together 31 contributors to reflect on these themes across 22 dynamic pieces—research articles, interviews between academics and practitioners, and ‘skill-shares,’ short works of practical knowledge
how does medieval literature conceptualize moral and political systems? how do modern writers, printers, and heritage projects engage with the past?
our spring 2025 issue explores these and other questions across persian, byzantine, old, middle, and modern english literature
