In this episode, four scholars from the "Conques in the Global World" project (Kris Racaniello, Adrien Palladino, Martin Lešzák, and Janet Marquardt) discuss their research on the diverse ways in which this French village has been (and is still) historicized, museumified, and "Disneylanded," producing a "living" medieval space in the present.
