grandfather invented money

Wondering if its fair to suggest probably every premodern peasant rebellion had some religious component. I’d guess that’s why the early modern/modern examples are so interesting, like a closeness bias thing

Huh is this directed at me, or at respondents in the other thread?

Neo-medievalism (or neomedievalism, new medievalism) is a term with a long history[1] that has acquired specific technical senses in two branches of scholarship. In political theory about modern international relations, where the term is originally associated with Hedley Bull, it sees the political order of a globalized world as analogous to high-medieval Europe, where neither states nor the Church, nor other territorial powers, exercised full sovereignty, but instead participated in complex, overlapping and incomplete sovereignties.[2]

In literary theory regarding the use and abuse of texts and tropes from the Middle Ages in postmodernity, the term neomedieval was popularized by the Italian medievalist Umberto Eco in his 1986 essay “Dreaming of the Middle Ages”.[3]

Intersection of neomedievalism in political theory and medieval studies

Some commentators have used the terminological overlap between Hedley Bull’s political theory of ‘neomedievalism’ and Umberto Eco’s postmodernist theory of ‘neomedievalism’ to discuss how cultural discourses about the Middle Ages are used to political ends in the changing international order of the twenty-first century. A key proponent of this argument was Bruce Holsinger, who studied the use of orientalist and medievalist language in the discourse of the post-9/11 ‘war on terror’, arguing that American neoconservatives had harnessed medievalism to win popular support for foreign policy and military actions that undermined state sovereignty and the international rule of law.[12][13]: 67–69

Working in Holsinger’s wake, others have argued that neomedievalist popular culture, such as the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, represents and so in turn helps to normalise a neomedievalist political order,[13]: 70–87  and that states other than the US, for example Iceland, have also used medievalism as a source of soft power to help secure their place in the shifting post-9/11 world order.[14]: 131–95
