Subject: [MEDART] Kzoo Call for papers. Two sessions sponsored by the Society
for the Study of Pilgrimage Art
Now with all of the pertinent information!!
Call for papers. Two sessions sponsored by the Society for the Study of
Pilgrimage Art at the 46th International Congress on Medieval Studies,
Kalamazoo, MI USA (May 12-15, 2011).
In, Out, Up, Down, and Through: Innovative and Participatory Physical
Architecture in the High and Late Middle Ages (1200-1600)
Architecture in the High and Late Middle Ages was often designed to be looked
at and experienced in new and participatory ways. The comings and goings of
churchgoers were accommodated by multiple (but specific) church
doors used in connection with Candlemas, ordinales, the churching of women,
public penance, Palm Sunday, baptism, marriage, burial, and more. Adding to
the dynamic space were apertures in the ceilings and floors where (on
appropriate days and times) such items as doves, swinging incense burners,
eucharistic wafers, almonds, and gallons of water were splashed down on
congregants while images of Christ seated on a rainbow were winched upward as
devil dolls were tossed down into a trap door below. This session seeks papers
that focus on the innovative and participatory manner in which people of the
later Middle Ages engaged with architecture and how architectural and its
decoration responded to this interaction.
Innovative and Participatory Fictive Architecture in the High and Late Middle
Ages (1200-1600)
As artists were increasingly able to render illusionistic space, the
architectural spaces they rendered became imbued with meaning and
significance. This session welcomes papers that investigate the meaning and
intention found in fictive architectural spaces found in late medieval site
specific painting, panel painting, theater design or any other media. We seek
papers that address imaginary and actual spaces,
that investigate the use of micro-architecture to frame visual or iconographic
ideas, or that develop theories to explain how these fictive structures would
have been read and understood by their creators and audiences.
