medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I'll have to read Wolf. Certainly, the need to establish identity is significant particularly when "boundaries" between similar but potentially contentious cultural/cultic groups intermingle (or seek to segregate). Hans Belting's "Likeness and Presence" addresses this issue to some extent when he talks about how images of saints and Mary were treated during the Counter-Reformation. Very interesting dynamic, for sure.
