medievalizing
Medievalizing refers to the process of adopting or simulating characteristics associated with the European Middle Ages. This can manifest in various contexts, including historical reenactment, artistic expression, literature, and popular culture. In historical reenactment, medievalizing involves recreating the material culture, social customs, and daily life of a specific medieval period and region. This often includes wearing period-accurate clothing, using replica tools and weapons, and practicing historical crafts and combat techniques.
In art and literature, medievalizing can involve drawing inspiration from medieval aesthetics, themes, and narrative structures.
