CAA 2012, Los Angeles California, February 22-25, 2012
Deadline: May 2, 2011
Call for Papers
CAA 2012 Session Sponsored by the International Center of Medieval
Art
Res et significatio: The Material Sense of Things in the Middle Ages
Aden Kumler (University of Chicago); and Christopher Lakey (Johns
Hopkins University).
In his landmark 1958 essay, "Vom geistigen Sinn des Wortes im
Mittelalter," Friederich Ohly described the medieval meaning of things
(Dingbedeutung) as authorized by scriptural exegesis, but exceeding the
boundaries of sacred texts to include monuments, artifacts, and
materials. Taking Ohly's analysis as a point of departure, we invite
papers that explore the medieval signification of materials and material
things-be they divinely created and or made by human hands. Can we speak
of an iconology of materials in the period? What can the use of
materials and the facture of objects tell us about the signifying
interplay of materials and forms in the period? How might medieval uses
of materials shape or respond to contemporary understandings of the
material world and of materiality itself? We invite papers that engage
material- or thing-signification in the western and Byzantine Middle
Ages through material- or object-focused case studies, diachronic
analyses, or more theoretical modes of reflection.
