We are interested in how these elements affected bodily sensations, behaviors, mindsets and/or were harnessed and incorporated into religious experiences as a whole.
By the Late Middle Ages, the liturgy has become the most important and elaborate ceremonial of Christianity in an already highly ritualised society.
The conference aims to shed new light on the intricate ways in which the senses, cognition, and the body were engaged in devotional practices, emphasizing themultisensory nature of medieval spirituality
SenSArt team is going to participate at the International Medieval Congress 2023 in Leeds (03/07-06/07). The four sessions organised by the team are entitled “Entanglements of Senses in Medieval Sacred Art and Religious Experience” and will all be held on 5th July.
The purpose of this article is to investigate the mental and spiritual process of interiorization of the Passion imagery, the mechanism that permitted the transition from a material representation, experienced with the senses, to a mental image, impressed into the memory, then evoked and relived in a purely spiritual form.
This 4th Seminar will approach the medieval use of illuminated manuscripts for the private devotion with presentations by Francesca Manzari (Sapienza Università di Roma) and Zuleika Murat (Università di Padova)
