From 6 to 9 July 2026, the International Medieval Congress will take place at the University of Leeds, bringing together scholars from across the world to discuss current research in Medieval Studies.
The programme includes three sessions sponsored by the ERC Advanced Grant project Graff-IT: Writing on the Margins. Graffiti in Italy (7th–16th Centuries): Session 116, 216, 316, all of them dedicated to “Graffiti and the Shaping of Temporalities: From the Early Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period”.
The panels will feature contributions by several members and collaborators of the project, including Carlo Tedeschi, Simone Allegria, Chiara Rosso, Sebastiano Blancato, Antonello Vilella, Denise Brazzale, Antonella Undiemi alongside scholars from other European institutions. Together, the sessions will explore how graffiti can shed light on the perception, marking, and experience of time from the medieval to the early modern period.
