The inviatation from Ann Buckely for medieval saints' cults might be of
interest?
With best wishes

Invitation
I am seeking collaboration with colleagues working on saints' cults as
expression of regional identity, and in long-term historical perspective,
under the following headings:
a) repertory:
uses of liturgical texts and music, and how these may have varied or
changed over time and space;
b) social-political contexts:
the history of individual cults: how they arose, were transmitted,
altered, or discontinued; questions might include issues of identity,
spiritual devotion, local politics, economics.
I would welcome ideas from other colleagues, and especially those who
might be interested in developing a collaborative, interdisciplinary
project, possibly to include the establishment of an online database /
discussion group.
Depending on the response, I would be willing to convene a sub-group for
this project at the CARMEN meeting in Poitiers in September.
