'Thinking Medieval' serves as a brief intellectual introduction to the field of Medieval Studies, the musings (nay, defense) of a self-critical schola
'Thinking Medieval' serves as a brief intellectual introduction to the field of Medieval Studies, the musings (nay, defense) of a self-critical scholar worried about the fate of his field. There's good stuff here, but its mostly on the level of a scholarly chat around the dinner table with the hip new medievalist in the department, one who understands pop culture and postmodernism along with Beowulf and the Crusades. I certainly agree with Bull's core message, with is essentially traditional and even, dare I say, conservative (Bull might shake a finger at me here -- only because he must work within the modern academy and, therefore, takes his sherry in the senior common room cheek and jowl with the fashionable iconoclasts -- but with a wink and nod of acceptance.) "There is just intellectually honest history and intellectually dishonest history," he concludes, "and all the relativism in the world cannot wish this basic distinction away." Bull, however, presents a rather curious argument in response to postmodern critiques of the relevance of history in general and medieval history more specifically: while seemly opposed to the deconstructionist disdain for 'truth' and 'events,' Bull argues for the relevance of medieval studies on the two most basic points of postmodernism, i.e. language and alterity (jargon for otherness). Essentially, he seems to say, we should study the Middle Ages they present a perfect case-study of diversity. A bit odd that, to say the least. The intellectual barbarians may indeed be at the gate, but Bull's book, while interesting enough, is no curtain wall or new legion on the frontier.
