Medieval Storytelling: Textual Transmission East and West<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many scholars remain skeptical of the idea that the Islamicate world played a foundational role in the medieval French literary tradition. Even as one can point to vectors of movement including pilgrimage, crusade, merchant caravans, and itinerant performers, it is impossible to identify specific moments and locations when stories were told. This lack of data has historically been the cause of heated debates about questions of influence. Medieval Storytelling: Textual Transmission East and West<\/em> proposes using computer simulations to model the ways that texts and ideas could have moved across geographical spaces, political systems, and religious and linguistic divides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the tab “Be the Storyteller!” you can experience the storytelling process using Twine<\/a>. Twine is an open-source tool that allows users to compose interactive narratives in the “choose your own adventure” style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, our team is working on 3D immersive environments using the Unity game engine to create embodied experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
