Abstract

Over the last decades, medieval communication has received an increasing amount of scholarly attention. After thorough investigation of the impact of literacy, a 'performative turn' of cultural studies has led to a broad interest in the phenomena of face-to-face communication and public ritual. The session aims at an integration of both approaches in order to allow a deeper understanding of medieval communication from local communities to large scale networks.
