Organizer
For the past twenty years, the material dimension of Christian medieval religiosity has been under intense scrutiny from the perspective of various, and sometimes overlapping research traditions. While focus has often been on the practices involving religious objects, the complex interplay between materiality and the experience of religion finds its roots in the artistic and artisanal processes through which such objects cam to be. By virtue of its physical and tactile dimension, the materiality of religious practice offers an entryway to the medieval mind-set and an occasion for history, art history, theology and archaeology to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue.
