Abstract | In conjunction with the IMC 2004 Clash of Cultures strand, papers in these two sessions will consider cultural identification, interaction, accommodation and resistance as expressed through visual media (material culture and the visual arts) in the early medieval period (to 1100). Topics will include the display of objects and object types as cultural identifiers of self or other and the deployment of these visible forms in relationships between cultures. A second thread will consider self-identification within and interaction among contemporary academic cultures that examine early medieval visual forms, and the impact of such academic cultural differences in interpreting historical objects. |
