INTERNATIONAL MEDIEVAL CONGRESS 2001
Organized Session Proposal: "Mundane and Profane Uses of Medieval Sacred
Spaces"
Although technically reserved for worship, medieval sacred spaces
accommodated numerous mundane and profane activities that included wine
hawking, ball playing, hearing legal cases and sexual encounters. This
session will explore the mundane and profane uses of medieval sacred
spaces and investigate the larger significance of such uses. Papers may
discuss any mundane activity that took place in ritual spaces. They may
also look at violent explosions that sometimes occurred in them (such as
the twelfth-century murders of Charles the Good in the castral church of
Saint Donatian and of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral). If
accepted, this session which hopes to benefit from papers drawing on a
variety of relevant disciplines might include presentations on Jewish,
Christian (eastern and western) and Muslim sacred spaces; inter- and
intra-cultural comparative discussions are also welcome.
If you are interested in participating in this session, please e-mail me
privately at [log in to unmask] The deadline for submission of abstracts
is July 31, 2000.
