Abstract | This session explores the ways in which preaching from a variety of medieval contexts is performative; both as a publicly enacted display and communication, and as a means of acting out and re-enacting Christian identity. The three papers draw on recent work on performative speech act theory, critical musicology and sermon studies. |
