| Abstract | Medieval monasteries are in the origin of modern conceptions on medieval society. The aim of this session is to analyze the mental categories, the means of representation and the places given to the dead in medieval monasteries in the kingdom of León and Castile. Dr. Calleja Puerta concerns on how monastic charters draft social groups. Dr. Alonso Álvarez analizes the architectural setting of royal burial practices, based on dinastic legitimation and the core places of 'Reconquista'. Dr. Ruiz de la Peña studies the ideal representation of society in the sculptural iconography of monastic scope. |
